Perceived quality in fresh peaches: an approach through structural equation modeling
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2011-02-28)
The quality requirements that consumers consider in their
decision to purchase fresh fruit have garnered a great deal of attention from the actors in the
fresh fruit productivity chain. This study ...
Identification of Vitis vinifera L. Local Cultivars Recovered in Andalusia (Spain) by Using Microsatellite Markers
(MDPI, 2023-02-28)
In Andalusia (Spain), there are different wine regions that have a great recognized tradition. In these regions, the cultivation of the vine is ancient and there are still vineyards planted with local ...
Biological N fixation but not mineral N fertilization enhances the accumulation of N in peanut soil in maize/peanut intercropping system
(Elsevier, 2022-09-06)
Legume/cereal intercropping has the potential to maximize the use of resources to raise yields due to enhanced nitrogen (N) fixation by legume root nodules, while high N fertilization may inhibit the ...
From landraces to improved cultivars: Assessment of genetic diversity and population structure of Mediterranean wheat using SNP markers
(Public Library of Science, 2019-07-15)
Assessment of genetic diversity and population structure in crops is essential for breeding and germplasm conservation. A collection of 354 bread wheat genotypes, including Mediterranean landraces and ...
Use of root pruning, paclobutrazol, and prohexadione-Ca combination strategies to control growth and improve productivity on pear trees
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2019-07)
Growth control in pear orchards is essential, not just to reduce competition between vegetative and reproductive sinks, but also to improve return bloom, yield and fruit quality. The goal to optimize ...
Exploring deep learning for complex trait genomic prediction in polyploid outcrossing species
(Frontiers Media, 2020-02-06)
Genomic prediction (GP) is the procedure whereby the genetic merits of untested candidates are predicted using genome wide marker information. Although numerous examples of GP exist in plants and animals, ...
Efficacy of environmental friendly disinfectants against the major postharvest pathogens of stone fruits on plastic and wood surfaces
(SAGE Publications, 2018-09-30)
Disinfection of surface facilities during postharvest handling operation is an important practice to avoid secondary fruit infections at stone fruit packinghouses. The aim of this work was to evaluate ...
Dissecting the influence of the orchard location and the maturity at harvest on apple quality, physiology and susceptibility to major postharvest pathogens
(Elsevier, 2021-04-03)
‘Golden Reinders’ apple quality parameters, fruit physiology, biochemical composition and susceptibility to Penicillium expansum and Rhizopus stolonifer were analysed in fruit harvested from four different ...
Almond population genomics and non-additive GWAS reveal new insights into almond dissemination history and candidate genes for nut traits and blooming time
(Oxford University Press, 2023-09-25)
Domestication drastically changed crop genomes, fixing alleles of interest and creating different genetic populations. Genome-wide
association studies (GWASs) are a powerful tool to detect these alleles ...
Pesticide dose adjustment in fruit and grapevine orchards by DOSA3D: Fundamentals of the system and on-farm validation
(Elsevier, 2021-12-04)
Agricultural productivity cannot be sustained without the application of plant protection measures. Within the framework of integrated pest management (IPM), the use of chemical pesticides should be ...
