Influence of Regulated Deficit Irrigation on Arbequina’s Crop Yield and EVOOs Quality and Sensory Profile
(MDPI, 2022-12-22)
Regulated deficit irrigation in super-high-density (SHD) olive orchards is a well-known strategy to save water and control plant vigor, without decreasing fruit or oil yield. As there is controversial ...
Genetic architecture and genomic predictive ability of apple quantitative traits across environments
(Oxford University Press, 2022-02-19)
Implementation of genomic tools is desirable to increase the efficiency of apple breeding. Recently, the multi-environment apple reference population (apple REFPOP) proved useful for rediscovering loci, ...
Modulating climacteric intensity in melon through QTL stacking
(Oxford University Press, 2022-06-03)
Fruit ripening is one of the main processes affecting fruit quality and shelf life. In melon there are both climacteric and non-climacteric genotypes, making it a suitable species to study fruit ripening. ...
Climate service driven adaptation may alleviate the impacts of climate change in agriculture
(Nature, 2022-11-12)
Building a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector requires the development and implementation of tailored climate change adaptation strategies. By focusing on durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. ...
Survey of Oomycetes Associated with Root and Crown Rot of Almond in Spain and Pathogenicity of Phytophthora niederhauserii and Phytopythium vexans to ‘Garnem’ Rootstock
(MDPI, 2022-02-18)
From 2018 to 2020, surveys of oomycetes associated with root and crown rot of almond
(Prunus dulcis) were conducted on diseased young almond trees in commercial orchards and nurseries
in six provinces ...
Barberry plays an active role as an alternate host of Puccinia graminis in Spain
(Wiley, 2022-02-17)
Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis, is a destructive group of diseases. The pathogen uses Berberis species as alternate hosts to complete its life cycle. B. vulgaris and the endemic species B. ...
The Lack of Alternative Oxidase 1a Restricts in vivo Respiratory Activity and Stress-Related Metabolism for Leaf Osmoprotection and Redox Balancing Under Sudden Acute Water and Salt Stress in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Frontiers Media, 2022-05-17)
In plants salt and water stress result in an induction of respiration and accumulation of stress-related metabolites (SRMs) with osmoregulation and osmoprotection functions that benefit photosynthesis. ...
Pathogenic potential of the surviving Salmonella Enteritidis on strawberries after disinfection treatments based on ultraviolet-C light and peracetic acid
(Elsevier, 2022-01-10)
Fresh fruits, especially strawberries, are usually consumed raw without any step to ensure their food safety. Salmonella enterica is one of the most important etiologic agents for foodborne diseases ...
The Effects of the Cultivar and Environment on the Phenolic Contents of Hazelnut Kernels
(MDPI, 2022-11-11)
Different climatic conditions are known to affect the synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites. Therefore, the phenolic contents in new growing areas could affect the quality and flavor of hazelnuts. ...
Chromosome-level genome assemblies of four wild peach species provide insights into genome evolution and genetic basis of stress resistance
(BMC, 2022-06-13)
Background: Peach (Prunus persica) is an economically important stone fruit crop in Rosaceae and widely cultivated in temperate and subtropical regions, emerging as an excellent material to study the ...
