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 ...
Using Soil Moisture Sensors for Automated Irrigation Scheduling in a Plum Crop
(MDPI, 2019-10-02)
The growing scarcity and competition for water resources requires the urgent implementation of measures to ensure their rational use. Farmers need affordable irrigation tools that allow them to take ...
Nature’s contribution to people provided by pastoral systems across European, African, and Middle East Mediterranean countries: trends, approaches and gaps
(Springer, 2024-05-15)
Mediterranean pastoral systems are providers of a wide array of Nature’s Contribution to People (NCP). They are ‘complex
systems’ characterized by limited resources and socio-economic dynamics currently ...
Comparative Genomics Used to Predict Virulence Factors and Metabolic Genes among Monilinia Species
(MDPI, 2021-06-08)
Brown rot, caused by Monilinia spp., is among the most important diseases in stonefruits, and some pome fruits (mainly apples). This disease is responsible for significant yield losses,particularly in ...
Thorough Characterization of ETHQB3.5, a QTL Involved in Melon Fruit Climacteric Behavior and Aroma Volatile Composition
(MDPI, 2023-01-13)
The effect of the QTL involved in climacteric ripening ETHQB3.5 on the fruit VOC composition was studied using a set of Near-Isogenic Lines (NILs) containing overlapping introgressions from the Korean ...
Inheritance of esters and other volatile compounds responsible for the fruity aroma in strawberry
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-12)
Cultivated strawberry, Fragaria × ananassa, has a complex aroma due to the presence of more than 350 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, a mixture of only 19 compounds, called Key Volatile ...
Effect of the Storage Conditions and Freezing Speed on the Color and Chlorophyll Profile of Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils
(MDPI, 2023-01-03)
Premium extra virgin olive oils (PEVOO) are oils of exceptional quality and retail at high prices. The green color of recently extracted olive oils is lost during storage at room temperature, mainly ...
Phenological Study of 53 Spanish Minority Grape Varieties to Search for Adaptation of Vitiviniculture to Climate Change Conditions
(MDPI, 2022-10-22)
The main phenological stages (budburst, flowering, veraison, and ripeness) of 53 Spanish minority varieties were studied to determine their potential to help winegrowers adapt to climate change conditions. ...
Disentangling arthropod and plant resources consumed by Orius spp. in peach and alfalfa crops by metagenomic analysis
(Springer, 2022-09-08)
Agricultural intensification is affecting the biological control of insect pests, an important component for sustainable crop production. To understand the changing patterns of insect abundance within ...
Cumulative response of Tempranillo vines to the crop forcing technique and pre-forcing and post-veraison water stress in terms of yield and grape and wine quality
(Springer, 2023-03-06)
Elevated temperatures during berry ripening are detrimental to grape quality. The crop forcing technique (summer pruning that ‘forces’ the vine to start a new cycle) increases must acidity and malic ...
