Peach allergen Pru p 1 content is generally low in fruit but with large variation in different varieties
(Clinical and Translational Allergy, 2021-05-14)Background: Pru p 1 is a major allergen in peach and nectarine, and the different content in varieties may affect the degree of allergic reactions. This study aimed to quantify Pru p 1 levels in ... -
Peach for the future: A specialty crop revisited
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2022-08-03)Peach is the most important temperate fruit crop worldwide in terms of production after apple. However, a descending trend has been registered over the recent years in several key producing peach ... -
Peach genetic resources: diversity, population structure and linkage disequilibrium
(BMC Genetics, 2013-09-16)Background: Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is one of the most important model fruits in the Rosaceae family. Native to the west of China, where peach has been domesticated for more than 4,000 years, ... -
Peanut protein – an underutilised by-product with great potential: a review
(International Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2021-12-08)Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the fourth important oilseed in the world. After oil extraction, defatted peanut is a protein-rich by-product containing around 50% of protein that can enable the production ... -
Pectin methyl esterases and rhamnogalacturonan hydrolases: weapons for successful Monilinia laxa infection in stone fruit?
(Plant Pathology, 2019-05-16)The secretion of cell wall‐degrading enzymes is one of the mechanisms used by necrotrophic fungi to colonize host tissues. However, information about virulence factors of Monilinia spp., the causal ... -
Pedigree analysis of 220 almond genotypes reveals two world mainstream breeding lines based on only three different cultivars
(Horticulture Research, 2021-01-01)Loss of genetic variability is an increasing challenge in tree breeding programs due to the repeated use of a reduced number of founder genotypes. However, in almond, little is known about the genetic ... -
Pentaplacodinium saltonense gen. et sp. nov. (Dinophyceae) and its relationship to the cyst-defined genus Operculodinium and yessotoxin-producing Protoceratium reticulatum
(Harmful Algae, 2017-12-16)Strains of a dinoflagellate from the Salton Sea, previously identified as Protoceratium reticulatum and yessotoxin producing, have been reexamined morphologically and genetically and Pentaplacodinium ... -
Peptide-Based Vaccines: Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus, a Paradigm in Animal Health
(Vaccines, 2021-05-08)Vaccines are considered one of the greatest global health achievements, improving the welfare of society by saving lives and substantially reducing the burden of infectious diseases. However, few vaccines ... -
Perceived quality in fresh peaches: an approach through structural equation modeling
(Ciencia e investigacíón agraria, 2011-02-28)The quality requirements that consumers consider in their decision to purchase fresh fruit have garnered a great deal of attention from the actors in the fresh fruit productivity chain. This study ... -
Performance and environmental accounting of nutrient cycling models to estimate nitrogen emissions in agriculture and their sensitivity in life cycle assessment
