Automatic Irrigation Scheduling on a Hedgerow Olive Orchard Using an Algorithm of Water Balance Readjusted with Soil Moisture Sensors
(MDPI, 2020-04-29)
Recent technological advances have made possible automated irrigation scheduling using decision-support tools. These tools help farmers to make better decisions in the management of their irrigation ...
A deletion affecting an LRR-RLK gene co-segregates with the fruit flat shape trait in peach
(Nature Research, 2017-07-27)
In peach, the fat phenotype is caused by a partially dominant allele in heterozygosis (Ss), fruits from
homozygous trees (SS) abort a few weeks after fruit setting. Previous research has identifed a ...
New insights into flowering date in Prunus: fine mapping of a major QTL in sweet cherry
(Oxford University Press, 2022-02-19)
Flowering date is an important trait in Prunus fruit species, especially for their adaptation in a global warming context. Numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been identified and a major one ...
Soil quality, properties, and functions in life cycle assessment: an evaluation of models
(Elsevier, 2016-06-10)
Soils provide essential ecosystem services for supporting both human and ecosystem needs and has been under pressures resulting from the intensification and expansion of human activities. In the last ...
Management-dependent effects of pollinator functional diversity on apple pollination services: A response–effect trait approach
(Wiley, 2021-09-08)
1. Functional traits mediate the response of communities to disturbances (response traits) and their contribution to ecosystem functions (effect traits). To predict how anthropogenic disturbances influence ...
Performance of an Expert Sensory Panel and Instrumental Measures for Assessing Eating Fruit Quality Attributes in a Pear Breeding Programme
(MDPI, 2023-03-27)
Breeding programmes count on stable trained panels that support breeding evaluation
selections. This work aimed to evaluate the performance of a small expert panel in the join IRTA-PFR
breeding programme ...
High-throughput methods to identify male Cannabis sativa using various genotyping methods
(BMC, 2022-11-02)
Background
Cannabis sativa is a primarily dioecious angiosperm that exhibits sexual developmental plasticity. Developmental genes for staminate male flowers have yet to be elucidated; however, there ...
Brevis thinning efficacy at different fruit size and fluorescence on ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ apples
(Elsevier, 2019-07-26)
Brevis thinning efficacy depends on climatic and cultivar conditions. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of one application of Brevis in ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ apple applied at different ...
MAGNA and BLANQ Series: Two Yellow-fleshed and Three White-fleshed Nectarines
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2021-08-20)
The continuous release of new nectarine [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] cultivars by breeders from around the world, together with consistent improvements in orchard management strategies by growers, ...
Decreased levels of Thioredoxin o1 influences stomatal development and aperture but not Photosynthesis under non-stress and saline conditions
(MDPI, 2021-01-21)
Salinity has a negative impact on plant growth, with photosynthesis being downregulated partially due to osmotic effect and enhanced cellular oxidation. Redox signaling contributes to the plant response ...
