Two Loci, RiAF3 and RiAF4, Contribute to the Annual-Fruiting Trait in Rubus
(Frontiers Media, 2019-10-25)
Most Rubus species have a biennial cycle of flowering and fruiting with an intervening period of winter dormancy, in common with many perennial fruit crops. Annual-fruiting (AF) varieties of raspberry ...
Genome and transcriptome analysis of the Mesoamerican common bean and the role of gene duplications in establishing tissue and temporal specialization of genes
(BMC, 2016-02-25)
Background: Legumes are the third largest family of angiosperms and the second most important crop class. Legume genomes have been shaped by extensive large-scale gene duplications, including an ...
Mapping Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus Resistance in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) by Using BSA-seq Analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-03)
Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) causes severe yield losses in cucurbit crops across Mediterranean countries. The control of this virus is based on cultural practices to prevent the presence of its ...
Woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann ecology and its relationship with climatic variables and natural enemies in Mediterranean areas
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-10-22)
A multilateral approach that includes both biotic and climatic data was developed to detect the main variables that affect the ecology and population dynamics of woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum ...
Post petal fall applications of gibberellins improve fruit set on pear
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)
Commercial pear production has become increasingly difficult over the last decade, with low fruit set being one of the main factors leading to poor yield of pear orchards. The use of gibberellins to ...
The productive efficiency of organic farming: the case of grape sector in Catalonia
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-06-07)
Knowledge about productivity and efficiency differences between conventional and organic farms has important
implications for the evaluation of the economic viability of these two agricultural practices. ...
Progress in the Spanish National Barley Breeding Program
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-06-11)
The Spanish Barley Breeding Program is carried out by four public research organizations, located at the most
representative barley growing regions of Spain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ...
A first insight into peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] SNP variability
(Springer, 2012-06-10)
Three factors may have reduced the diversity at
both individual gene and whole genome levels in cultivated
peach: its self-compatible mating system, the narrow genetic
basis of most commercial ...
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-04-17)
A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight
contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. ...
An integrated approach for increasing breeding efficiency in apple and peach in Europe
(Springer Nature, 2018-03-01)
Despite the availability of whole genome sequences of apple and peach, there has been a considerable gap between genomics and breeding. To bridge the gap, the European Union funded the FruitBreedomics ...
