Evapotranspiration estimates derived using thermal-based satellite remote sensing and data fusion for irrigation management in California vineyards
(Springer Verlag, 2018-10-10)
Irrigation in the Central Valley of California is essential for successful wine grape production. With reductions in water availability in much of California due to drought and competing water-use ...
Light signals generated by vegetation shade facilitate acclimation to low light in shade-avoider plants
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2021-05-07)
When growing in search for light, plants can experience continuous or occasional shading by other plants. Plant proximity causes a decrease in the ratio of R to far-red light (low R:FR) due to the ...
Balance between resilient fruit surface microbial community and population of Monilinia spp. after biopesticide field applications of Penicillium frequentans
(Elsevier, 2020-07-18)
The microbial variability on the host plant surface must be maintained because population diversity and quantity are essential to avoid disease development. It would be necessary to examine the patterns ...
Monitoring resistance of Cydia pomonella (L.) Spanish field populations to new chemical insecticides and the mechanisms involved
(Wiley, 2017-11-16)
BACKGROUND
Widespread resistance of Cydia pomonella to organophosphates was demonstrated in populations from the Spanish Ebro Valley area which showed high levels of enzymatic detoxification. To determine ...
Determination of the Baseline Susceptibility of European Populations of Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to Chlorantraniliprole and the Role of Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenases
(Oxford University Press, 2018-02-09)
The codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is the key pest on pome fruit and walnut orchards worldwide. Its resistance to available insecticides has been widely reported. ...
Effect of Ultrasound Pre-Treatment on the Physical, Microbiological, and Antioxidant Properties of Calçots
(Springer, 2018-12-03)
The effect of ultrasound (US) treatment (40 kHz, 250 W) for 0, 10, 25 and 45 min on the physical and microbiological quality, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total phenolic content (TPC) of ...
Biochemical and genetic implications of the slow ripening phenotype in peach fruit
(Elsevier, 2019-09-14)
The peach [Prunus persica L. (Batsch)] slow ripening (SR) trait is a mutation preventing the normal fruit ripening process. It is determined by a single Mendelian gene (Sr/sr) located on linkage group ...
An insect’s energy bar: the potential role of plant guttation on biological control
(Elsevier, 2023-11-07)
Plant guttation is an exudation fluid composed of xylem and phloem sap secreted at the margins of leaves of many agricultural crops. Although plant guttation is a widespread phenomenon, its effect on ...
Genome encode analyses reveal the basis of convergent evolution of fleshy fruit ripening
(Nature Research, 2018-09-24)
Fleshy fruits using ethylene to regulate ripening have developed multiple times in the history of angiosperms, presenting a clear case of convergent evolution whose molecular basis remains largely ...
Long-term effects of rootstock and tree type on the economic profitability of ‘Gala’, ‘Fuji’ and ‘Honeycrisp’ orchards performance
(Elsevier, 2023-05-10)
Planting a new orchard requires a complex management strategy that involves many factors including cultivar,
rootstock, planting density, training system, tree type, climate, and economic conditions ...
