Determination of the melon chloroplast and mitochondrial genome sequences reveals that the largest reported mitochondrial genome in plants contains a significant amount of DNA having a nuclear origin
(BMC, 2011-08-20)
Background: The melon belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, whose economic importance among vegetable
crops is second only to Solanaceae. The melon has a small genome size (454 Mb), which makes it ...
AKFruitYield: Modular benchmarking and video analysis software for Azure Kinect cameras for fruit size and fruit yield estimation in apple orchards
(Elsevier, 2023-10-06)
AKFruitYield is a modular software that allows orchard data from RGB-D Azure Kinect cameras to be processed for fruit size and fruit yield estimation. Specifically, two modules have been developed: i) ...
Expression QTL (eQTLs) Analyses Reveal Candidate Genes Associated With Fruit Flesh Softening Rate in Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-03)
Significant differences in softening rate have been reported between melting flesh in peach and nectarine varieties. This trait seems to be controlled by several genes. We aimed to identify candidate ...
Shape, firmness and fruit quality QTLs shared in two non-related strawberry populations
(Elsevier, 2021-07-29)
The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is an octoploid species (2n = 8x = 56), appreciated widely for its fruit. There have been very few studies on fruit quality traits, which are known to be ...
Revealing additional preference heterogeneity with an extended random parameter logit model: the case of extra virgin olive oil
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2014-07-09)
Methods that account for preference heterogeneity have received a significant amount of attention in recent literature.Most of them have focused on preference heterogeneity around the mean of the random ...
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 ...
Influence of soil type, land use, and rootstock genotype on root-associated arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities and their impact on grapevine growth and nutrition
(MDPI, 2023-11-17)
Soil characteristics, land management practices, and plant genotypes influence arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities, leading to the proliferation of AMF taxa with different growth and nutritional ...
