Variability in glutenin subunit composition of Mediterranean durum wheat germplasm and its relationship with gluten strength
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-01-23)
The allelic composition at five glutenin loci was assessed by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (1D SDS–PAGE) on a set of 155 landraces (from 21 Mediterranean ...
The apple REFPOP—a reference population for genomics-assisted breeding in apple
(Springer Nature, 2020-11-01)
Breeding of apple is a long-term and costly process due to the time and space requirements for screening selection candidates. Genomics-assisted breeding utilizes genomic and phenotypic information ...
Mapping Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus Resistance in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) by Using BSA-seq Analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-03)
Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) causes severe yield losses in cucurbit crops across Mediterranean countries. The control of this virus is based on cultural practices to prevent the presence of its ...
Global loss of climatically suitable areas for durum wheat growth in the future
(IOP Publishing, 2021-10-19)
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is a minor cereal crop of key importance for making pasta, couscous, burghul, puddings, bread and many other traditional foods, due to its physical and chemical ...
Different Metabolic Roles for Alternative Oxidase in Leaves of Palustrine and Terrestrial Species
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-04)
The alternative oxidase pathway (AOP) is associated with excess energy dissipation
in leaves of terrestrial plants. To address whether this association is less important
in palustrine plants, we ...
Syntenic relationships between cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and melon (C. melo L.) chromosomes as revealed by comparative genetic mapping
(BMC, 2011-08-05)
Background: Cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. (2n = 2 × = 14) and melon, C. melo L. (2n = 2 × = 24) are two
important vegetable species in the genus Cucumis (family Cucurbitaceae). Both species have an Asian ...

(MDPI, 2023-05-31)
In this review, a selection of studies was carried out that evaluated the influence of organic
agronomic practices on the cultivation of pomegranate; specifically, the influence of these practices ...
Long-term agronomical performance and iron chlorosis susceptibility of several Prunus rootstocks grown under loamy and calcareous soil conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-11-29)
The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic performance (vigor, yield, yield efficiency, number of root suckers), fruit quality (fruit weight, fruit size, flesh firmness, soluble solids ...
Development of brown rot epidemics in Spanish peach orchards
(Springer, 2022-04-07)
A new approach to modelling epidemics of
brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. in Ebro Valley
peach orchards has been developed. This compartmental model was subdivided according to the phenological
stages ...
