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 ...
A first insight into peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] SNP variability
(Springer, 2012-06-10)
Three factors may have reduced the diversity at
both individual gene and whole genome levels in cultivated
peach: its self-compatible mating system, the narrow genetic
basis of most commercial ...
Diverging cell wall strategies for drought adaptation in two maize inbreds with contrasting lodging resistance
(Wiley, 2024-02-05)
The plant cell wall is a plastic structure of variable composition that constitutes the first line of defence against environmental challenges. Lodging and drought are two stressful conditions that ...
A parasitoid wasp allied with an entomopathogenic virus to control Tuta absoluta
(Elsevier, 2024-02-09)
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a major threat to worldwide tomato production, and sustainable management methods are needed. Betabaculovirus phoperculellae (PhopGV) and the ...
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-04-17)
A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight
contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. ...
Seasonal changes of whole root system conductance by a drought-tolerant grape root system
(Oxford University Press, 2010-09-17)
The role of root systems in drought tolerance is a subject of very limited information compared with above-ground
responses. Adjustments to the ability of roots to supply water relative to shoot ...
Mediterranean clonal selections evaluated for modern hedgerow olive oil production in Spain
(University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, 2011-01-01)
Traditional olive oil production is
limited by its high cost, mainly due
to labor expenses for harvesting and
pruning. A new olive planting system
based on hedgerows and harvesting
machines could ...
The genome of woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca)
(Nature Research, 2010-12-26)
The woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca (2n = 2x = 14), is a versatile experimental plant system. This diminutive herbaceous
perennial has a small genome (240 Mb), is amenable to genetic transformat ...
Analysis of expressed sequence tags generated from full-length enriched cDNA libraries of melon
(BMC, 2011-05-20)
Background: Melon (Cucumis melo), an economically important vegetable crop, belongs to the Cucurbitaceae
family which includes several other important crops such as watermelon, cucumber, and pumpkin. ...
Comparative analysis of rosaceous genomes and the reconstruction of a putative ancestral genome for the family
(BMC, 2011-01-12)
Background: Comparative genome mapping studies in Rosaceae have been conducted until now by aligning
genetic maps within the same genus, or closely related genera and using a limited number of common ...
