Vitis vinifera; cultivars; culture filtrates; defense mechanisms; genes; leaves; models; pathogenesis-related proteins; wood
Abstract:
... Wood diseases like Esca are among the most damaging afflictions in grapevine. The defense mechanisms in this plant–pathogen interaction are not well understood. As some grapevine cultivars have been observed to be less susceptible to Esca than others, understanding the factors involved in this potentially stronger defense response can be of great interest. To lift part of this veil, we elicited Vi ...

Festuca arundinacea; Lolium multiflorum; Lolium perenne; cultivars; germination; models; regression analysis; seeds; temperature
Abstract:
... The thermal time model is widely used to describe the relationship between germination and temperature. However, the model breaks the germination curve into two parts and ignores the possibility that germination rate is constant at optimal temperatures. The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between temperature and germination rate within the context that optimum temperatu ...

Abstract:
... Titratable acidity and pH are important chemical traits for the organoleptic quality of banana since they are related to the perception of sourness and sweetness. Banana fruit has the particularity of having separate growth and ripening stages, during which pulp acidity changes. A modeling approach was used to understand the mechanisms involved in changes in acidity during pulp growth and post har ...

Abstract:
... Eucommia ulmoides Oliver is one of the few woody plants producing trans-polyisoprene (TPI or Eucommia rubber). Eucommia fruits contain average 12–17% of TPI, much higher than in leaf or bark. However, commercialization of TPI production from Eucommia fruits is confronted with two major problems: the low yield and high cost of fruit harvest. To develop an economically viable solution to those two p ...

Fruit thinning can be used to relieve this water stress in peach. In this paper, the ability of an existing fruit tree model (QualiTree) for describing the effects of water stress and fruit thinning on peach fruit and vegetati ...

... Nuclear ribosomal DNAs were explored to establish genetic relationships among Ficus carica cultivars and elucidate its molecular evolution. Results suggest the occurrence of haplotypic and nucleotide diversity. The neighbour-joining dendrograms show a continuous diversity that characterize local resources. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that the ITS2 spacer is seating to a larger number of ...

Abstract:
... Within-boll yield components are the most basic contributors to lint and seed yield of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), which is a major source of natural fiber and edible oil throughout the world. Little information is available on genetic effects and heterosis of these traits in cotton. Three cotton cultivars and six breeding lines differing in within-boll yield components were used for this stud ...

Abstract:
... Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an attractive model to study the genetic basis of adventitious organ formation capacity, since there is considerable natural genetic variation among wild relatives. Using a set of 46 introgression lines (ILs), each containing a small chromosomal segment of Solanum pennellii LA716 introgressed and mapped into the tomato cultivar M82, we characterized a high shoot ...

Abstract:
... Extensive livestock production is a basic socio-economic feature of rainfed Mediterranean agriculture that is threatened by overgrazing and desertification of natural grasslands and by climate change. The cultivation of improved, drought-tolerant perennial forages can alleviate these constraints. This study aimed to support breeders in choosing target species and plant types, and agronomists in se ...
