Cultivar differences in the hormonal crosstalk regulating apple fruit development and ripening: relationship with flavour components and postharvest susceptibility to Penicillium expansum
(Elsevier, 2023-08-17)
The hormonal interplay during the on-tree development and ripening of three apple cultivars with known differences in their postharvest ripening patterns was studied, at the biochemical and targeted ...
Interannual dynamics of Tuber melanosporum and fungal communities in productive black truffle orchards amended with truffle nests
(Oxford University, 2023-07-22)
Truffle growers devote great efforts to improve black truffle productivity, developing agronomic practices such as ‘truffle nests’ (peat amendments that are supplemented with truffle spore inoculum). ...
Dispersal of the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor in storage warehouses
(Elsevier, 2023-12-21)
Habrobracon hebetor is an ectoparasitoid that attacks the last-instar larvae of moth pests, such as Ephestia kuehniella, an important pest of grain and flour in storage facilities and in bakeries. To ...
Use of wood and cork in biofilters for the simultaneous removal of nitrates and pesticides from groundwater
(Elsevier, 2022-12-07)
About 13% and 7% of monitored groundwater stations in Europe exceed the permitted levels of nitrates (50 mg NO3− L−1) or pesticides (0.1 μg L−1), respectively. Although slow sand filtration can remove ...
Biocontrol efficacy of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01 against post-harvest pathogens of fruits
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-09-01)
This work aimed to broaden the spectrum biocontrol activity of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01. Inhibition of postharvest pathogens, viz., Alternaria alternata, Penicillium italicum, P. digitatum, ...

Nutrient addition increases insect herbivory in Nothofagus antarctica on North-Patagonian forests
(Elsevier, 2024-02-28)
The change in nutrient availability in the soil can affect key functions of forest ecosystems, such as insect herbivory. Although insect herbivory is particularly relevant because it can impact on the ...
A hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based coating inhibits ethylene-dependent quality changes and reduces superficial scald incidence and blue mould severity during postharvest handling of two apple varieties
(Elsevier, 2023-10-12)
The search of new alternatives to substitute postharvest treatments based on synthetic chemicals has gained attention on recent years due to social pressure and stricter legislative policies. Consequently, ...
Defining key parameters and predictive markers of ‘Early Bigi’ cherry consumer satisfaction by means of differential storage scenarios
(Elsevier, 2022-09-28)
To induce differences in sensorial characteristics, ‘Early Bigi’ cherries were exposed to various storage scenarios, including modified atmosphere packaging, 1-methylcyclopropene and methyl jasmonate ...
