Estimating multi-scale irrigation amounts using multi-resolution soil moisture data: A data-driven approach using PrISM
(Elsevier, 2023-11-22)
Irrigated agriculture is the primary driver of freshwater use and is continuously expanding. Precise knowledge of irrigation amounts is critical for optimizing water management, especially in semi-arid ...
Characterization of Japanese Plum (Prunus salicina) PsMYB10 Alleles Reveals Structural Variation and Polymorphisms Correlating With Fruit Skin Color
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-08)
The red to blue hue of plant organs is caused due to anthocyanins, which are water-soluble flavonoid pigments. The accumulation of these pigments is regulated by a complex of R2R3-MYB transcription ...
Plant Breeding and Management Strategies to Minimize the Impact of Water Scarcity and Biotic Stress in Cereal Crops under Mediterranean Conditions
(MDPI, 2021-12-29)
Wheat and rice are two main staple food crops that may suffer from yield losses due to drought episodes that are increasingly impacted by climate change, in addition to new epidemic outbreaks. Sustainable ...
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 ...
High-density genetic map and QTL analysis of soluble solid content, maturity date, and mealiness in peach using genotyping by sequencing
(Elsevier, 2019-08-08)
Peach (Prunus persica) is one of the most important temperate fruit trees in the world, based on its production and cultivated area. Consumer acceptance is the principal objective of multiple breeding ...
The Evolutionary Consequences of Transposon-Related Pericentromer Expansion in Melon
(Oxford University Press, 2018-06-23)
Abstract
Transposable elements (TEs) are a major driver of plant genome evolution. A part from being a rich source of new genes and regulatory sequences, TEs can also affect plant genome evolution ...
Genetic dissection of climacteric fruit ripening in a melon population segregating for ripening behavior
(Springer Nature, 2020-11-01)
Melon is as an alternative model to understand fruit ripening due to the coexistence of climacteric and non-climacteric varieties within the same species, allowing the study of the processes that regulate ...
Temporal response to drought stress in several Prunus rootstocks and wild species
(MDPI, 2020-09-14)
Prunus species are important crops in temperate regions. In these regions, drought periods are predicted to occur more frequently due to climate change. In this sense, to reduce the impact of climate ...
Valorization of Local Legumes and Nuts as Key Components of the Mediterranean Diet
(MDPI, 2022-11-29)
Legumes and nuts are components of high importance in the diet of many countries, mainly those in the Mediterranean region. They are also very versatile and culturally diverse foods found all over the ...
Genomic analysis of fruit size and shape traits in apple: unveiling candidate genes through GWAS analysis
(Oxford University Press, 2023-12-19)
Genomic tools facilitate the efficient selection of improved genetic materials within a breeding program. Here, we focus on two apple fruit quality traits: shape and size. We utilized data from 11 fruit ...
