Fruit Morphology and Ripening-Related QTLs in a Newly Developed Introgression Line Collection of the Elite Varieties ‘Védrantais’ and ‘Piel de Sapo’
(MDPI, 2022-11-15)
Melon is an economically important crop with widely diverse fruit morphology and ripening characteristics. Its diploid sequenced genome and multiple genomic tools make this species suitable to study the ...
Impact of Diets Including Agro-Industrial By-Products on the Fatty Acid and Sterol Profiles of Larvae Biomass from Ephestia kuehniella, Tenebrio molitor and Hermetia illucens
(MDPI, 2021-07-26)
Rearing insects on agro-industrial by-products is a sustainable strategy for the circular economy while producing valuable products for feed and foods. In this context, this study investigated the impact ...
Climate impact and adaptation to heat and drought stress of regional and global wheat production
(IOP Publishing, 2021-05-12)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most widely grown food crop in the world threatened by future climate change. In this study, we simulated climate change impacts and adaptation strategies for wheat ...
Sequencing of Tuta absoluta genome to develop SNP genotyping assays for species identification
(Springer Verlag, 2019-04-11)
Tuta absoluta is one of the most devastating pests of fresh market and processing tomatoes. Native to South America, its detection was confined to that continent until 2006 when it was identified in ...
Aromatic, Sensory, and Fatty Acid Profiles of Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oils Produced Using Different Malaxation Conditions
(MDPI, 2022-10-30)
The demand for high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is growing due to its unique characteristics. The aroma and flavor of EVOO depend on its content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), whose ...
Scrutinising the relationship between major physiological and compositional changes during ‘Merrill O’Henry’ peach growth with brown rot susceptibility
(SAGE Publications, 2020-09-22)
In the present work, the major physiological and compositional changes occurring during 'Merrill O'Henry' peach growth and its relationship with susceptibility to three strains of Monilinia spp. at 49, ...
High-density multi-population consensus genetic linkage map for peach
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11-21)
Highly saturated genetic linkage maps are extremely helpful to breeders and are an essential prerequisite for many biological applications such as the identification of marker-trait associations, mapping ...
Determination of spray drift and buffer zones in 3D crops using the ISO standard and new LiDAR methodologies
(Elsevier, 2020-01-15)
Spray drift generated in the application of plant protection products in tree crops (3D crops) is a major source of environmental contamination, with repercussions for human health and the environment. ...
Dissecting the old Mediterranean durum wheat genetic architecture for phenology, biomass and yield formation by association mapping and QTL meta-analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05-25)
Association mapping was used to identify genome regions affecting yield formation, crop phenology and crop biomass in a collection of 172 durum wheat landraces representative of the genetic diversity ...
Automatic Fruit Morphology Phenome and Genetic Analysis: An Application in the Octoploid Strawberry
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-05-12)
Automatizing phenotype measurement will decisively contribute to increase plant breeding efficiency. Among phenotypes, morphological traits are relevant in many fruit breeding programs, as appearance ...
