Effect of different application rates of metamitron as fruitlet chemical thinner on thinning efficacy and fluorescence inhibition in Gala and Fuji apple
(Springer Verlag, 2019-08-30)
Crop thinning is an important and difficult agricultural practice. Knowing the effect of the application dose of a product is a crucial element of any thinning program. The aims of this study were to ...
Sorption of carbon dioxide by chickpeas packaged in modified atmospheres
(Elsevier, 2019-06-06)
Modified atmospheres (MAs) with high CO2 concentrations are used for packaging several commodities with different purposes, including as an alternative method for pest control. When used in gas-tight ...
Prunus genetics and applications after de novo genome sequencing: achievements and prospects
(Springer Nature, 2019-04-05)
Prior to the availability of whole-genome sequences, our understanding of the structural and functional aspects of Prunus tree genomes was limited mostly to molecular genetic mapping of important traits ...
Modelling of avoidance of food additives: a cross country study
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-04-16)
Food additives are strictly regulated and from technological point of view are useful ingredients. However, due to negative media news seeking for sensation, and sometimes irresponsible producer behaviour, ...
Development of a modified plug-flow anaerobic digester for biogas production from animal manures
(MDPI, 2019-07-08)
Traditional plug-flow anaerobic reactors (PFRs) are characterized by lacking a mixing system and operating at high total solid concentrations, which limits their applicability for several kinds of ...
Comparative analysis of the fecal microbiota from different species of domesticated and wild suids
(Nature Research, 2019-09-20)
Most of the microorganisms living in a symbiotic relationship in different animal body sites (microbiota) reside in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Several studies have shown that the microbiota is ...
A rapid cleaning method for diatoms
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-18)
We describe here a protocol for cleaning diatoms when time is short and the amount of
sample is very limited. Essentially, the method consists of drying material onto coverslips and
cleaning it directly ...
Effect of N dose, fertilisation duration and application of a nitrification inhibitor on GHG emissions from a peach orchard
(Elsevier, 2019-08-23)
Despite only occupying 5% of the worldwide arable area, fruit tree crops are of vital economic importance in many regions. Intensive cropping practices can lead to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In ...
Detection of homozygous genotypes for a putatively lethal recessive mutation in the porcine argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) gene
(Wiley, 2019-11-15)
The sequencing of the pig genome revealed the existence of homozygous individuals for a nonsense mutation in the argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) gene (rs81212146, c.944T>A, L315X). Paradoxically, ...
Blooming under Mediterranean Climate: Estimating Cultivar-Specific Chill and Heat Requirements of Almond and Apple Trees Using a Statistical Approach
(MDPI, 2019-11-15)
Climate change, and specifically global temperature increase, is expected to alter plant
phenology. Temperate deciduous fruit trees have cultivar-specific chill and heat requirements
to break dormancy ...
