Evaluation of germplasm in Solanum section Lycopersicon for tomato taste improvement
(Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey, 2018)
The genetic potential of accessions from Solanum section Lycopersicon (S. lycopersicum L., S. lycopersicum var. cerasiforme, S
pimpinellifolium L., and S. habrochaites Knaap & Spooner) for breeding tomato taste has been ...
Facing Climate Change: Biotechnology of Iconic Mediterranean Woody Crops
(Frontiers Media, 2019-04-16)
The Mediterranean basin is especially sensitive to the adverse outcomes of climate
change and especially to variations in rainfall patterns and the incidence of extremely
high temperatures. These two concurring adverse ...
Developmental Stage- and Genotype-Dependent Regulation of Specialized Metabolite Accumulation in Fruit Tissues of Different Citrus Varieties
(MDPI, 2019-03)
Flavor traits in citrus are the result of a blend of low molecular weight metabolites including sugars, acids, flavonoids and limonoids, these latter being mainly responsible for the characteristic bitter flavor in citrus. ...
The olfactive responses of Tetranychus urticae natural enemies in citrus depend on plant genotype, prey presence, and their diet specialization
(Springer, 2019-06)
Sour orange, Citrus aurantium, displays higher constitutive and earlier inducible direct defenses against the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, than Cleopatra mandarin, Citrus reshni. Moreover, herbivore-induced ...
Endophytes from wild cereals protect wheat plants from drought by alteration of physiological responses of the plants to water stress
(Wiley, 2019-01-13)
Endophytes contribute to plant performance, especially under harsh conditions. We therefore hypothesized that wild plants have retained beneficial endophytes that are less abundant or not present in related crop plants. ...
Pinus Susceptibility to Pitch Canker Triggers Specific Physiological Responses in Symptomatic Plants: An Integrated Approach
(Frontiers Media, 2019-04-24)
Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker (PPC), is an emergent
and still understudied risk that threatens Pinus forests worldwide, with potential
production and sustainability losses. In order to explore ...
Bio-ecology and integrated management of the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in the region of Valencia (Spain)
(Benaki Phytopathological Institute, 2012-01)
The invasive red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most destructive pests of palms in the world. It is widely distributed in all continents and has been reported on ...
Combined Drought and Heat Activates Protective Responses in Eucalyptus globulus That Are Not Activated When Subjected to Drought or Heat Stress Alone
(Frontiers Media, 2018-06)
Aiming to mimic a more realistic field condition and to determine convergent and
divergent responses of individual stresses in relation to their combination, we explored
physiological, biochemical, and ...
A lysimeter study under field conditions of nitrogen and phosphorus leaching in a turf grass crop amended with peat and hydrogel
(Elsevier, 2019)
olf courses represent an agricultural activity wherein grass is intensively cultivated using large quantities of fer-
tilizers. In the present study, nitrogen and phosphorus leaching was analyzed over two years in an ...
Long-lasting b-aminobutyric acid-induced resistance protects tomato fruit against Botrytis cinerea
(Wiley, 2018)
Minimizing losses to pests and diseases is essential for producing sufficient food to feed the world’s rapidly growingpopulation. The necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea triggers devastating pre- and post-harvest yield ...
