Genetic Structure of Modern Durum Wheat Cultivars and Mediterranean Landraces Matches with Their Agronomic Performance
(Public Library of Science, 2016-08-11)
A collection of 172 durum wheat landraces from 21 Mediterranean countries and 20 modern cultivars were phenotyped in 6 environments for 14 traits including phenology, biomass, yield and yield omponents. ...
A collection of European sweet cherry phenology data for assessing climate change
(Nature Research, 2016-12-06)
Professional and scientific networks built around the production of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) led to the collection of phenology data for a wide range of cultivars grown in experimental sites ...
Peach genetic resources: diversity, population structure and linkage disequilibrium
(BMC, 2013-09-16)
Background: Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is one of the most important model fruits in the Rosaceae family.
Native to the west of China, where peach has been domesticated for more than 4,000 years, ...
Processing, Valorization and Application of Bio-Waste Derived Compounds from Potato, Tomato, Olive and Cereals: A Review
(MDPI, 2017-08-22)
The vast and ever-growing amount of agricultural and food wastes has become a major concern throughout the whole world. Therefore, strategies for their processing and value-added reuse are needed to ...
Are geographical indication products fostering public goods? Some evidence from Europe
(MDPI, 2019-01-08)
Within the framework of multifunctional conceptualisation, the authors have investigated the level of public goods embedded in Agri-food geographical indication products. Moving from the concept of the ...
Selection for environmental variance of litter size in rabbits
(BMC, 2017-05-22)
Background
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the genetic determination of environmental variance. In the case of litter size, environmental variance can be related to the capacity ...
Development and preliminary evaluation of a 90 K Axiom® SNP array for the allo-octoploid cultivated strawberry Fragaria × ananassa
(BMC, 2015-03-07)
Background: A high-throughput genotyping platform is needed to enable marker-assisted breeding in the
allo-octoploid cultivated strawberry Fragaria × ananassa. Short-read sequences from one diploid and ...
Phenotypic and molecular selection of a superior Solanum pennellii introgression sub-line suitable for improving quality traits of cultivated tomatoes
(Frontiers Media, 2019-02-22)
The Solanum pennellii Introgression Line (IL) population can be exploited to identify favorable alleles that can improve yield and fruit quality traits in commercial tomato varieties. Over the past few ...
Management trade‐offs on ecosystem services in apple orchards across Europe: Direct and indirect effects of organic production
(Wiley, 2018-11-12)
Apple is considered the most important fruit crop in temperate areas and profitable production depends on multiple ecosystem services, including the reduction of pest damage and the provision of sufficient ...
Multilevel comparative bioinformatics to investigate evolutionary relationships and specificities in gene annotations: an example for tomato and grapevine
(BMC, 2018-11-30)
Background: “Omics” approaches may provide useful information for a deeper understanding of speciation events, diversification and function innovation. This can be achieved by investigating the molecular ...
