Durum wheat in the Mediterranean Rim: historical evolution and genetic resources
(Springer, 2020-03-11)
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) van Slageren) is an important crop in the Mediterranean Rim, and it is deeply rooted in the history and tradition of this region. Recently, several ...
From Genetic Maps to QTL Cloning: An Overview for Durum Wheat
(MDPI, 2021-02-06)
Durum wheat is one of the most important cultivated cereal crops, providing nutrients to humans and domestic animals. Durum breeding programs prioritize the improvement of its main agronomic traits; ...
Improving in-season wheat yield prediction using remote sensing and additional agronomic traits as predictors
(Frontiers Media, 2023-04-03)
The development of accurate grain yield (GY) multivariate models using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) assessments obtained from aerial vehicles and additional agronomic traits is a promising ...
Climate service driven adaptation may alleviate the impacts of climate change in agriculture
(Nature, 2022-11-12)
Building a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector requires the development and implementation of tailored climate change adaptation strategies. By focusing on durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. ...
Negative impacts of dominance on bee communities: Does the influence of invasive honey bees differ from native bees?
(Wiley, 2021-09-01)
Invasive species can reach high abundances and dominate native environments. One of the most impressive examples of ecological invasions is the spread of the African subspecies of the honey bee throughout ...
Sustainability Assessment after Twenty Years of Sewage Sludge Application on Calcareous Soil Following N or P Criterion
(MDPI, 2024-03-11)
Sewage sludge is a valuable source of nutrients when applied to the soil. Research on its agricultural use has been focused on chemical parameters to prevent heavy metal buildup. However, soil quality ...
Pasta-Making Quality QTLome From Mediterranean Durum Wheat Landraces
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018-10-16)
In order to identify genome regions related to pasta-making quality traits, association
mapping (AM) was performed in a set of 165 durum wheat landraces from 21
Mediterranean countries. The collection ...
Changes in durum wheat root and aerial biomass caused by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation
(Springer, 2016-01-27)
Aims This study aimed to quantify the changes in root and aerial biomass of durum wheat brought about by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation. Methods A ...
Intra-specific downsizing of frugivores affects seed germination of fleshy-fruited plant species
(Elsevier, 2017-12-06)
The loss of largest-bodied individuals within species of frugivorous animals is one of the major consequences of defaunation. The gradual disappearance of large-bodied frugivores is expected to entail ...
Effect of post-harvest practices on greenhouse gas emissions in rice paddies: flooding regime and straw management
(Springer, 2022-03-22)
Aims
To assess 1) the effect of the combination of flooding (winter flooding vs. non-winter flooding; WFL vs NWF) and timing of straw incorporation (early vs late straw incorporation; ESI vs LSI) in ...
