Interplay between hormones and assimilates during pear development and ripening and its relationship with the fruit postharvest behaviour
(Elsevier, 2019-11-21)
The ability of European pears (Pyrus communis L.) to ripen immediately after harvest is cultivar-dependent and relies on a range of physiological and biochemical events occurring during fruit growth and ...
Ethylene and abscisic acid play a key role in modulating apple ripening after harvest and after cold-storage
(Elsevier, 2022-03-19)
An autocatalytic burst in ethylene production generally accompanies ripening of detached apple fruit. However, if apples are left to ripen attached to the tree, some cultivars, will not experience this ...
Bee and non-bee pollinator importance for local food security
(Elsevier, 2022-12-08)
Pollinators are critical for food security; however, their contribution to the pollination of locally important crops is still unclear, especially for non-bee pollinators. We reviewed the diversity, ...
Exploring sources of resistance to brown rot in an interspecific almond × peach population
(Wiley, 2019-02-19)
BACKGROUND: Monilinia spp. are responsible for brown rot, one of the most significant stone fruit diseases. Planting resistant cultivars seems a promising alternative, although most commercial cultivars ...
Promoting a circular economy by developing new gastronomic products from brassica non-edible leaves
(Wiley, 2023-12-15)
This study aims to apply circular economy principles by reintroducing discarded Brassica leaves into the value chain as innovative products. Non-edible leaves of three Brassica varieties were used to ...
A comprehensive genome variation map of melon identifies multiple domestication events and loci influencing agronomic traits
(Nature Research, 2019-11-01)
Melon is an economically important fruit crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years; however, the genetic basis and
history of its domestication still remain largely unknown. Here we report ...
Ferulic acid application to control growth Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica on fresh-cut apples and melon, and its effect in quality parameters
(Elsevier, 2022-01-13)
Listeria monocytogenes can grow under conditions at which fresh-cut fruit are stored, whereas Salmonella spp. has been associated with a number of outbreaks related to such products. It is therefore ...
Residual correlation and ensemble modelling to improve crop and grassland models
(Elsevier, 2023-01-13)
Multi-model ensembles are becoming increasingly accepted for the estimation of agricultural carbon-nitrogen fluxes, productivity and sustainability. There is mounting evidence that with some site-specific ...
Evaluation of postharvest calcium treatment and biopreservation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on the quality of fresh-cut ‘Conference’ pears
(Wiley, 2018-03-25)
BACKGROUND
Biological preservation with probiotic bacteria has arisen as an alternative to control the growth of foodborne pathogens on food. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of ...
Cross-incompatibility in the cultivated almond (Prunus dulcis): Updating, revision and correction
(Elsevier, 2018-10-24)
Most almond cultivars are self-incompatible, and so to obtain a yield they need to be pollinated with cross-compatible cultivars. For an efficient use of these cultivars in growing and breeding, over ...
