Analysing olive ripening with digital image RGB histograms
(Elsevier, 2023-10-09)
Digital images are commonly used to monitor processes that are based on colour changes due to their simplicity
and easy capture. Colour information in these images can be analysed objectively and ...
The productive efficiency of organic farming: the case of grape sector in Catalonia
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-06-07)
Knowledge about productivity and efficiency differences between conventional and organic farms has important
implications for the evaluation of the economic viability of these two agricultural practices. ...
Progress in the Spanish National Barley Breeding Program
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-06-11)
The Spanish Barley Breeding Program is carried out by four public research organizations, located at the most
representative barley growing regions of Spain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ...
A first insight into peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] SNP variability
(Springer, 2012-06-10)
Three factors may have reduced the diversity at
both individual gene and whole genome levels in cultivated
peach: its self-compatible mating system, the narrow genetic
basis of most commercial ...
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 ...
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-04-17)
A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight
contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. ...
Seasonal changes of whole root system conductance by a drought-tolerant grape root system
(Oxford University Press, 2010-09-17)
The role of root systems in drought tolerance is a subject of very limited information compared with above-ground
responses. Adjustments to the ability of roots to supply water relative to shoot ...
Mediterranean clonal selections evaluated for modern hedgerow olive oil production in Spain
(University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, 2011-01-01)
Traditional olive oil production is
limited by its high cost, mainly due
to labor expenses for harvesting and
pruning. A new olive planting system
based on hedgerows and harvesting
machines could ...
The genome of woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca)
(Nature Research, 2010-12-26)
The woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca (2n = 2x = 14), is a versatile experimental plant system. This diminutive herbaceous
perennial has a small genome (240 Mb), is amenable to genetic transformat ...
Gene and QTL detection in a three-way barley cross under selection by a mixed model with kinship information using SNPs
(Springer, 2011-03-04)
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection is
commonly performed by analysis of designed segregating
populations derived from two inbred parental lines, where
absence of selection, mutation and genetic ...
