Bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds in cooked pulses
(Wiley, 2019-01-04)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the bioaccessibility of polyphenols and antioxidant activity in cooked pulses and to study the effect of cooking on their total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant ...
New insights on the ripening pattern of ‘Blanquilla’ pears: A comparison between on- and off-tree ripened fruit
(Elsevier, 2019-01-05)
To better understand the key processes involved in the ripening of attached fruit, we have investigated physico-chemical and biochemical changes occurring in ‘Blanquilla’ pear during on-tree (attached ...
Exploring sources of resistance to brown rot in an interspecific almond × peach population
(Wiley, 2019-02-19)
BACKGROUND: Monilinia spp. are responsible for brown rot, one of the most significant stone fruit diseases. Planting resistant cultivars seems a promising alternative, although most commercial cultivars ...
Evaluation of chemical fruit thinning efficiency using Brevis® (Metamitron) on apple trees (‘Gala’) under Spanish conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-11-15)
Thinning is an important technique in apple growing which is used to reduce the number of fruits per plant and achieve commercial fruit size and quality. The objective of this work was to evaluate the ...
A comprehensive genome variation map of melon identifies multiple domestication events and loci influencing agronomic traits
(Nature Research, 2019-11-01)
Melon is an economically important fruit crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years; however, the genetic basis and
history of its domestication still remain largely unknown. Here we report ...
Agricultural soil organic carbon stocks in the north-eastern Iberian Peninsula: Drivers and spatial variability
(Elsevier, 2019-02-22)
Estimating soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks under agriculture, assessing the importance of their drivers and understanding the spatial distribution of SOC stocks are crucial to predicting possible future ...
Preserving habitat quality at local and landscape scales increases wild bee diversity in intensive farming systems
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-02-13)
Biological diversity is influenced by many environmental factors, which can act either at a local scale (e.g. quality and quantity of feeding and nesting resources, habitat type) or at a landscape scale ...
Effects of long-term controlled atmosphere storage, minimal processing, and packaging on quality attributes of calçots (Allium cepa L.)
(SAGE Publications, 2019-12-23)
Calçots are the immature floral stems of the second-year onion (Allium cepa L.) resprouts. Modified atmosphere packaging or vacuum packaging are suitable alternatives to preserve fresh-cut vegetables. ...
Infection risk of Monilinia fructicola on stone fruit during cold storage and immersion in the dump tank
(Elsevier, 2019-06-28)
Monilinia spp. is the main pathogen responsible for postharvest losses of stone fruit. Several studies have examined the conditions for Monilinia spp. infection in the field, but very limited information ...
Using forced regrowth to manipulate Chardonnay grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) development to evaluate phenological stage responses to temperature
(Elsevier, 2019-12-06)
Time and environmental conditions, such as temperature and photoperiod, are the main drivers governing grapevine development over the growing season. The most obvious growth periods in grapevines are ...
