Non-volatile signals and redox mechanisms are required for the responses of Arabidopsis roots to Pseudomonas oryzihabitans
(Oxford University Press, 2022-08-24)
Soil bacteria promote plant growth and protect against environmental stresses, but the mechanisms involved remain poorly characterized, particularly when there is no direct contact between the roots and ...
II. Horticultural performance of ‘Honeycrisp’ grown on a genetically diverse set of rootstocks under Western New York climatic conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-08-07)
A field experiment with 31 rootstocks representing a genetically diverse group of rootstocks featuring ‘Honeycrisp’ as the scion was planted in 2010 at Geneva, NY USA. Rootstocks included three from the ...
Predatory arthropods in apple orchards across Europe: Responses to agricultural management, adjacent habitat, landscape composition and country
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)
Local agri-environmental schemes, including hedgerows, flowering strips, organic management, and a landscape rich in semi-natural habitat patches, are assumed to enhance the presence of beneficial ...
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 ...
Susceptibility of Almond (Prunus dulcis) Cultivars to Twig Canker and Shoot Blight Caused by Diaporthe amygdali
(American Phytopathological Society, 2022-06-13)
Twenty-five almond cultivars were assessed for susceptibility to Diaporthe amygdali, causal agent of twig canker and shoot blight disease. In laboratory experiments, growing twigs were inoculated with ...
Management-dependent effects of pollinator functional diversity on apple pollination services: A response–effect trait approach
(Wiley, 2021-09-08)
1. Functional traits mediate the response of communities to disturbances (response traits) and their contribution to ecosystem functions (effect traits). To predict how anthropogenic disturbances influence ...
Performance of an Expert Sensory Panel and Instrumental Measures for Assessing Eating Fruit Quality Attributes in a Pear Breeding Programme
(MDPI, 2023-03-27)
Breeding programmes count on stable trained panels that support breeding evaluation
selections. This work aimed to evaluate the performance of a small expert panel in the join IRTA-PFR
breeding programme ...
Flat Peach SUBLOR and SUBLIM and Flat Nectarine PERLA Series
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2022-08-29)
Flat peach and flat nectarine (Prunus persica L. Batsch.) production in Spain started from local cultivars at marginal sites, mainly in the Ebro Valley and Murcia regions. At the end of the 1990s, the ...
The multi-site PeachRefPop collection: a true cultural heritage and international scientific tool for fruit trees
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2020-07-29)
Plants have evolved a range of adaptive mechanisms that adjust their development and physiology to variable external conditions, particularly in perennial species subjected to long-term interplay with ...
Remote Sensing Energy Balance Model for the Assessment of Crop Evapotranspiration and Water Status in an Almond Rootstock Collection
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-10)
One of the objectives of many studies conducted by breeding programs is to characterize and select rootstocks well-adapted to drought conditions. In recent years, field high-throughput phenotyping methods ...
