Chemical markers to distinguish the homoand heterozygous bitter genotype in sweet almond kernels
(MDPI, 2020-06-05)
Bitterness in almonds is controlled by a single gene (Sk dominant for sweet kernel, sk recessive for bitter kernel) and the proportions of the offspring genotypes (SkSk, Sksk, sksk) depend on the ...
The apple REFPOP—a reference population for genomics-assisted breeding in apple
(Springer Nature, 2020-11-01)
Breeding of apple is a long-term and costly process due to the time and space requirements for screening selection candidates. Genomics-assisted breeding utilizes genomic and phenotypic information ...
GC-MS/LC-MS and transcriptome analyses revealed the metabolisms of fatty acid and flavonoid in olive fruits (Olea europaea L.)
(Elsevier, 2022-03-09)
Olive (Olea europaea L.) is an economical fruit tree for the usage of oil extraction and table olives. It is favored by consumers because of abundant unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoids, but little ...
Effects of Organic Farming on the Physicochemical, Functional, and Quality Properties of Pomegranate Fruit: A Review
(MDPI, 2023-05-31)
In this review, a selection of studies was carried out that evaluated the influence of organic
agronomic practices on the cultivation of pomegranate; specifically, the influence of these practices ...
Processing factors that affect the balance of alcohols and alkyl esters during ‘Arbequina’ olive oil production: Separation and clarification steps
(Elsevier, 2021-06-03)
The aim of this study was to assess how different conditions used on the centrifugation step during olive oil extraction affect its quality by considering the balance of fatty acid alkyl esters (FAAEs) ...
Subzero Temperature Storage to Preserve the Quality Attributes of Veiled Virgin Olive Oil
(MDPI, 2023-03-13)
Unfiltered olive oils (UO) have gained popularity in the global market, but they lose their quality characteristics faster than filtered oils (FO). In this work, refrigeration and freezing temperatures ...
Native versus Modern Almond Cultivars of Mallorca Island: From Biodiversity to Industrial Aptitude and Fruit Quality
(MDPI, 2022-08-17)
Almond, one of the most characteristic crops in the agricultural landscape of Mallorca Island, cultivated mainly under rainfed conditions and from native cultivars, represents an important source of ...
Resynthesis: Marker-Based Partial Reconstruction of Elite Genotypes in Clonally-Reproducing Plant Species
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-07)
We propose a method for marker-based selection of cultivars of clonally-reproducing plant species which keeps the basic genetic architecture of a top-performing cultivar (usually a partly heterozygous ...
The role of rootstocks for grape growing adaptation to climate change. Meta-analysis of the research conducted in Spanish viticulture
(International Viticulture and Enology Society (IVES), 2023-05-30)
Rootstock election is one of the key decisions when designing a vineyard. Although the research performed to determine the effect they induce in the behaviour of scion varieties is not scarce, it is not ...
A targeted foodomic approach to assess differences in extra virgin olive oils: Effects of storage, agronomic and technological factors
(Elsevier, 2023-09-20)
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) quality and composition are mainly affected by genetics, agronomic and technological parameters, undergoing further modifications during storage. In this work, a chemometric ...
