Management-dependent effects of pollinator functional diversity on apple pollination services: A response–effect trait approach
(Wiley, 2021-09-08)
1. Functional traits mediate the response of communities to disturbances (response traits) and their contribution to ecosystem functions (effect traits). To predict how anthropogenic disturbances influence ...
A consensus map for quality traits in durum wheat based on genome-wide association studies and detection of ortho-meta QTL across cereal species
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-30)
The present work focused on the identification of durum wheat QTL hotspots from a collection of genome-wide association studies, for quality traits, such as grain protein content and composition, yellow ...
Performance of an Expert Sensory Panel and Instrumental Measures for Assessing Eating Fruit Quality Attributes in a Pear Breeding Programme
(MDPI, 2023-03-27)
Breeding programmes count on stable trained panels that support breeding evaluation
selections. This work aimed to evaluate the performance of a small expert panel in the join IRTA-PFR
breeding programme ...
Cytoplasmic male sterility as a biological confinement tool for maize coexistence: optimization of pollinator spatial arrangement
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2017-04-25)
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) allows efficient biological confinement of transgenes if pollen-mediated gene flow has to be reduced or eliminated. For introduction of CMS maize in agricultural practice, ...
Direct and indirect effects of planning density, nitrogenous fertilizer and host plant resistance on rice herbivores and their natural enemies
(MDPI, 2022-11-30)
In rice ecosystems, seeding densities can be adjusted to compensate for lower nitrogen levels that reduce GHG emissions, or to increase farm profitability. However, density-induced changes to plant ...
Development of added-value culinary ingredients from fish waste: Fish bones and fish scales
(Elsevier, 2022-12-23)
Around 10% of the global fish catch (>90 million tonnes) is currently discarded, while by-products in fisheries account for up to 70% of the whole fish weight. From these, fish bones and scales represent ...
Metamitron and Shade Effects on Leaf Physiology and Thinning Efficacy of Malus × domestica Borkh
(MDPI, 2020-12-07)
Thinning strategies, namely shade or photosynthetic inhibitors, rely on the reduction of carbon supply to the fruit below the demand, causing fruit abscission. In order to clarify the subject, seven ...
Variation in Susceptibility to Downy Mildew Infection in Spanish Minority Vine Varieties
(MDPI, 2023-07-13)
Downy mildew is one of the most destructive diseases affecting grapevines (Vitis vinifera
L.). Caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola (Berk. and Curt.) Berl. and de Toni, it can appear
anywhere ...
Differential response to calcium-labelled (44Ca) uptake and allocation in two peach rootstocks in relation to transpiration under in vitro conditions
(Elsevier, 2023-11-28)
Calcium-labelled (44Ca) uptake and transport under in vitro GreenTray® temporary immersion bioreactor conditions have been studied related to aeration conditions. For this aim, Rootpac®-20 (RP-20) and ...
Cytochrome c Deficiency Differentially Affects the In Vivo Mitochondrial Electron Partitioning and Primary Metabolism Depending on the Photoperiod
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)
Plant respiration provides metabolic flexibility under changing environmental conditions by modulating the activity of the nonphosphorylating alternative pathways from the mitochondrial electron transport ...
