The relationship between ethylene- and oxidative-related markers at harvest with the susceptibility of pears to develop superficial scald
(Elsevier, 2020-01-28)
To better understand the specific biochemical pathways involved in superficial scald susceptibility, changes in ethylene biosynthesis, antioxidant, oxidative related processes and sugar metabolism were ...
Thinning flat peaches with ethephon and its effect on endogenous ethylene production and fruit quality
(Elsevier, 2020-12-06)
Peach orchards are usually hand-thinned at around 40–60 days after bloom, but this practice is labor-intensive and costly. Ethylene plays a key role in peach fruitlet abscission and foliar applications ...
Glyphosate treatments for weed control affect early stages of root colonization by Tuber melanosporum but not secondary colonization
(Springer, 2020-10-13)
The cultivation of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Tuber melanosporum has considerably spread in recent years throughout the world. During the first years of truffle cultivation, weed control is a key practice ...
Metabolomic analyses of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) cultivars revealed mechanisms of resistance to aluminum toxicity
(Elsevier, 2020-12-02)
Aluminum (Al) is an important factor that limits plant growth under acidic soil conditions. However, several
plant species developed distinct mechanisms that limit the damage caused by high Al ...
Ammonia volatilisation from pig slurry and ANS with DMPP applied to Westerwold ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam., cv. Trinova) under Mediterranean conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-03-19)
Ammonia volatilisation from agriculture represents an important nitrogen (N) loss which has both environmental and economic impacts. In regions where large amounts of manures are available, there is a ...
Scrutinising the relationship between major physiological and compositional changes during ‘Merrill O’Henry’ peach growth with brown rot susceptibility
(SAGE Publications, 2020-09-22)
In the present work, the major physiological and compositional changes occurring during 'Merrill O'Henry' peach growth and its relationship with susceptibility to three strains of Monilinia spp. at 49, ...
Application of an innovative water-assisted ultraviolet C light technology for the inactivation of microorganisms in tomato processing industries
(Elsevier, 2020-08-30)
We aimed to study the efficacy of a water-assisted UVC light device (WUVC) as an innovative clean technology for the disinfection of fresh sound tomatoes and processing wash water and water turbidity ...
The economic cost of losing native pollinator species for orchard prodution
(Wiley, 2020-01-19)
The alarming loss of pollinator diversity world‐wide can reduce the productivity of pollinator‐dependent crops, which could have economic impacts. However, it is unclear to what extent the loss of a key ...
Drought resistance in oat involves ABA-mediated modulation of transpiration and root hydraulic conductivity
(Elsevier, 2020-11-30)
Drought is one of the most important constraints to crop productivity worldwide. Control of plant responses to drought is very complex. The mechanisms and their intensity may differ between species ...
Ensemble modelling of carbon fluxes in grasslands and croplands
(Elsevier, 2020-04-25)
Croplands and grasslands are agricultural systems that contribute to land–atmosphere exchanges of carbon (C). We evaluated and compared gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (RECO), net ...
