Fine-root turnover rates of European forests revisited: an analysis of data from sequential coring and ingrowth cores
(Springer, 2012-07-08)
Background and Aims Forest trees directly contribute to
carbon cycling in forest soils through the turnover of their
fine roots. In this study we aimed to calculate root turnover rates of common ...
Hazelnut production and prospects in Spain
(International Journal of Anatolia Agricultural Engineering Sciences, 2019-12-25)
For many years, Spain was the fourth largest hazelnut producer worldwide, after Turkey, Italy and the USA. However, Spanish production currently occupies the tenth place with 10,500 t in 2017, due to ...
Acrylamide and 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Synthetic Sugar Cane Syrup: Mitigation by Additives
(MDPI, 2023-04-04)
The ability of additives to reduce the formation of acrylamide in simulated sugar cane
syrups was investigated. Organic acids, B vitamins, and inorganic salts were added individually
and in combination ...
Long-term Performance of ‘Delicious’ Apple Trees Grafted on Geneva® Rootstocks and Trained to Four High-density Systems under New York State Climatic Conditions
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2020-08-21)
We conducted a large (0.8 ha) field experiment of system × rootstock, using Super Chief Delicious apple as cultivar at Yonder farm in Hudson, NY, between 2007 and 2017. In this study, we compared six ...
Woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann ecology and its relationship with climatic variables and natural enemies in Mediterranean areas
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-10-22)
A multilateral approach that includes both biotic and climatic data was developed to detect the main variables that affect the ecology and population dynamics of woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum ...
Mediterranean Green Roof Simulation in Caldes de Montbui (Barcelona): Thermal and Hydrological Performance Test of Frankenia laevis L., Dymondia margaretae Compton and Iris lutescens Lam
(MDPI, 2018-12-05)
Green roofs provide a number of environmental advantages like increasing urban
biodiversity, reducing pollution, easing burdens on drainage systems, and lowering energy costs

The European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) of the genus Corylus is a major species of interest for nutritional use, and its nuts are widely used worldwide in the chocolate, confectionery, and bakery ...
Chemical markers to distinguish the homoand heterozygous bitter genotype in sweet almond kernels
(MDPI, 2020-06-05)
Bitterness in almonds is controlled by a single gene (Sk dominant for sweet kernel, sk recessive for bitter kernel) and the proportions of the offspring genotypes (SkSk, Sksk, sksk) depend on the ...
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 ...
GC-MS/LC-MS and transcriptome analyses revealed the metabolisms of fatty acid and flavonoid in olive fruits (Olea europaea L.)
(Elsevier, 2022-03-09)
Olive (Olea europaea L.) is an economical fruit tree for the usage of oil extraction and table olives. It is favored by consumers because of abundant unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoids, but little ...
