Modeling the airborne inoculum of Polystigma amygdalinum to optimize fungicide programs against almond red leaf blotch
(American Phytopathological Society, 2023-09-27)
Red leaf blotch (RLB) of almond, caused by the ascomycete Polystigma amygdalinum, is a severe foliar disease endemic in the Mediterranean Basin and Middle East regions. Airborne ascospores of P. amygdalinum ...
Resistance of the citrus rootstock forner-alcaide 5 to Tylenchulus semipenetrans in replant situations
(Elsevier, 2023-02-09)
The resistance of the citrus rootstock Forner-Alcaide 5 to Tylenchulus semipenetrans was assessed in comparison to the susceptible Carrizo citrange (S) in two replant situations. Changes in soil and ...
Regulation of climacteric fruit ripening in melon: recent advances and future challenges
(Oxford University Press ;Society for Experimental Biology, 2023-07-03)
Fruit ripening is a complex and highly regulated process where tomato and strawberry have been the model species classically used for studying climacteric and non-climacteric fleshy fruit ripening types, ...
Removing non-crop flowers within orchards promotes the decline of pollinators, not their conservation: A comment on McDougall et al. (2021)
(Wiley, 2023-05-17)
1. Abundant and diverse floral resources are needed for the preservation of pollinator populations and the services they provide to human societies. However, pollinators are negatively affected by several ...
Interannual dynamics of Tuber melanosporum and fungal communities in productive black truffle orchards amended with truffle nests
(Oxford University, 2023-07-22)
Truffle growers devote great efforts to improve black truffle productivity, developing agronomic practices such as ‘truffle nests’ (peat amendments that are supplemented with truffle spore inoculum). ...
Dispersal of the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor in storage warehouses
(Elsevier, 2023-12-21)
Habrobracon hebetor is an ectoparasitoid that attacks the last-instar larvae of moth pests, such as Ephestia kuehniella, an important pest of grain and flour in storage facilities and in bakeries. To ...
Adventitious regeneration from haploid melon (Cucumis melo L.) leaves as an approach to increase the frequency of diploid plants
(Springer, 2023-02-16)
An efficient process of adventitious regeneration from haploid plant leaves to increase the proportion of diploid plants of six elite melon lines ‘Védrantais’ French cultivar, ‘Piel de Sapo’ Spanish ...
Residual correlation and ensemble modelling to improve crop and grassland models
(Elsevier, 2023-01-13)
Multi-model ensembles are becoming increasingly accepted for the estimation of agricultural carbon-nitrogen fluxes, productivity and sustainability. There is mounting evidence that with some site-specific ...
Promoting a circular economy by developing new gastronomic products from brassica non-edible leaves
(Wiley, 2023-12-15)
This study aims to apply circular economy principles by reintroducing discarded Brassica leaves into the value chain as innovative products. Non-edible leaves of three Brassica varieties were used to ...
Cultivar differences in the hormonal crosstalk regulating apple fruit development and ripening: relationship with flavour components and postharvest susceptibility to Penicillium expansum
(Elsevier, 2023-08-17)
The hormonal interplay during the on-tree development and ripening of three apple cultivars with known differences in their postharvest ripening patterns was studied, at the biochemical and targeted ...
