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 ...
Assessment of a novel microalgae-cork based technology for removing antibiotics, pesticides and nitrates from groundwater
(Elsevier, 2022-04-29)
Groundwater pollution has increased in recent years due to the intensification of agricultural and livestock activities. This results in a significant reduction in available freshwater resources. Here, ...
Genome-enabled predictions for fruit weight and quality from repeated records in European peach progenies
(BMC, 2017-06-06)
Background: Highly polygenic traits such as fruit weight, sugar content and acidity strongly influence the
agroeconomic value of peach varieties. Genomic Selection (GS) can accelerate peach yield and ...
Chemical markers to distinguish the homoand heterozygous bitter genotype in sweet almond kernels
(MDPI, 2020-06-05)
Bitterness in almonds is controlled by a single gene (Sk dominant for sweet kernel, sk recessive for bitter kernel) and the proportions of the offspring genotypes (SkSk, Sksk, sksk) depend on the ...
Woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann ecology and its relationship with climatic variables and natural enemies in Mediterranean areas
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-10-22)
A multilateral approach that includes both biotic and climatic data was developed to detect the main variables that affect the ecology and population dynamics of woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Soil porosity changes in orchards with subsurface irrigation: quantification and interpretation
(Sociedad Geológica Mexicana, 2018-11-07)
In order to assess the irrigation efficiency under
water-limiting conditions, four different treatments of subsurface irrigation of peach trees in a
semi-arid Mediterranean climate near Lleida ...
