Remote Sensing Energy Balance Model for the Assessment of Crop Evapotranspiration and Water Status in an Almond Rootstock Collection
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-10)
One of the objectives of many studies conducted by breeding programs is to characterize and select rootstocks well-adapted to drought conditions. In recent years, field high-throughput phenotyping methods ...
Plant Breeding and Management Strategies to Minimize the Impact of Water Scarcity and Biotic Stress in Cereal Crops under Mediterranean Conditions
(MDPI, 2021-12-29)
Wheat and rice are two main staple food crops that may suffer from yield losses due to drought episodes that are increasingly impacted by climate change, in addition to new epidemic outbreaks. Sustainable ...
Dehydration of Ampelomyces quisqualis CPA-9 conidia by adding biodegradable coatings: Biocontrol activity against powdery mildew and physical characterization of the formulated product
(Elsevier, 2021-07-07)
Ampelomyces quisqualis CPA-9 was reported as a promising biocontrol fungus against powdery mildew on cucurbits, although its formulation had not been developed. The present work aimed to develop a ...
Cytochrome c Deficiency Differentially Affects the In Vivo Mitochondrial Electron Partitioning and Primary Metabolism Depending on the Photoperiod
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)
Plant respiration provides metabolic flexibility under changing environmental conditions by modulating the activity of the nonphosphorylating alternative pathways from the mitochondrial electron transport ...
Labelling Selective Sweeps Used in Durum Wheat Breeding from a Diverse and Structured Panel of Landraces and Cultivars
(MDPI, 2021-03-24)
A panel of 387 durum wheat genotypes including Mediterranean landraces and modern cultivars was characterized with 46,161 diversity arrays technology (DArTseq) markers. Analysis of population structure ...
Woodland strawberry axillary bud fate is dictated by a crosstalk of environmental and endogenous factors
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2021-09-01)
Plant architecture is defined by fates and positions of meristematic tissues and has direct consequences on yield potential and environmental adaptation of the plant. In strawberries (Fragaria vesca L. ...
Management-dependent effects of pollinator functional diversity on apple pollination services: A response–effect trait approach
(Wiley, 2021-09-08)
1. Functional traits mediate the response of communities to disturbances (response traits) and their contribution to ecosystem functions (effect traits). To predict how anthropogenic disturbances influence ...
MAGNA and BLANQ Series: Two Yellow-fleshed and Three White-fleshed Nectarines
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2021-08-20)
The continuous release of new nectarine [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] cultivars by breeders from around the world, together with consistent improvements in orchard management strategies by growers, ...
Decreased levels of Thioredoxin o1 influences stomatal development and aperture but not Photosynthesis under non-stress and saline conditions
(MDPI, 2021-01-21)
Salinity has a negative impact on plant growth, with photosynthesis being downregulated partially due to osmotic effect and enhanced cellular oxidation. Redox signaling contributes to the plant response ...
Field validation of biocontrol strategies to control brown rot on stone fruit in several European countries
(Wiley, 2021-01-14)
BACKGROUND: Brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. is the most signicant disease of stone fruit. New approaches to fruit production have necessitated the development of control strategies that are more ...
