Exploring large-scale gene coexpression networks in peach (Prunus persica L.): a new tool for predicting gene function
(Oxford University Press, 2024-01-02)
Peach is a model for Prunus genetics and genomics, however, identifying and validating genes associated to peach breeding traits is a
complex task. A gene coexpression network (GCN) capable of capturing ...
The ethylene-responsive transcription factor ERF024 is a novel regulator of climacteric fruit ripening in melon
(Wiley, 2024-06-20)
Fruit ripening is an essential developmental stage in Angiosperms triggered by hormonal signals such as
ethylene, a major player in climacteric ripening. Melon is a unique crop showing both climacteric ...
Diverging cell wall strategies for drought adaptation in two maize inbreds with contrasting lodging resistance
(Wiley, 2024-02-05)
The plant cell wall is a plastic structure of variable composition that constitutes the first line of defence against environmental challenges. Lodging and drought are two stressful conditions that ...
Recombination in the wheat stem rust pathogen mediated by an indigenous barberry species in Spain
(Frontiers Media, 2024-01-15)
The comeback of wheat stem rust in Europe, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, and the prevalence of the alternate (sexual) host in local areas have recently regained attention as a potential ...
PERSEUS: an interactive and intuitive web-based tool for pedigree visualization
(Oxford University Press, 2024-02-03)
Pedigree-based analyses’ prime role is to unravel relationships between individuals in breeding programs and germplasms. This is critical information for decoding the genetics underlying main inherited ...
The Valorization of Spanish Minority Grapevine Varieties—The Volatile Profile of Their Wines as a Characterization Feature
(MDPI, 2024-05-13)
Despite the large number of existing varieties of Vitis vinifera L., only few occupy a large
niche in today’s highly globalized wine market. The increasing consumer demand for diversified
products, ...
Responses of Ethylene Emission, Abscission, and Fruit Quality to the Application of ACC as a Chemical Thinner in ‘Flatbeauti’ Peach
(Springer, 2024-06-15)
Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) trees are prone to heavy cropping, but crop load management options are limited. 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) has been suggested to reduce crop load and ...
Valorization of Peach Fruit and Wine Lees through the Production of a Functional Peach and Grape Juice
(MDPI, 2024-04-02)
The valorization of agri-food products not only represents important economic and environmental benefits but can also be a source of potentially profitable, functional, and safe ingredients.
This study ...
Frost Damage Mitigation in Flowers and Fruitlets of Peach and Almond from the Application of a Multi-Attribute Approach Biostimulant
(MDPI, 2024-06-08)
To prevent frost damage in fruit trees, growers employ passive and active methods, and one of these second methods is the use of biostimulant compounds against abiotic stress. In this study, two trials ...
Is calcium deficiency the real cause of bitter pit? A review
(Frontiers Media, 2024-06-24)
Bitter pit is a disorder affecting the appearance of apples. Susceptibility is genetically controlled by both the cultivar and rootstock, with both environmental and horticultural factors affecting its ...
