chemical analysis; crop yield; cultivars; global positioning systems; grapes; organic matter; soil; texture; vigor; vineyards; viticulture; water potential; wines
Abstract:
... The knowledge of spatial variability is particularly important and several studies were carried out around the world, since it has been speculated that the overall grape quality is negatively affected by the vineyard heterogeneity. Based on this, a project was carried out in “LA VIARTE” (one important winery in the Friuli Colli Orientali D.O.C. area) with the aim to examine the spatial variability ...

Abstract:
...  Pansy, Viola × wittrockiana, is a popular ornamental plant. Effects of polyploidy on phenotype and four pollination methods on capsule and seed set were studied using ten octoploid (2n = 8x) and two hexadecaploid (2n = 16x) genotypes, originating from induced mutagenesis. Principal component analysis, using 19 phenotypic, phenological and physiological characteristics, revealed that he ...

Abstract:
... Throughout the world, clubroot disease is one of the most damaging diseases affecting Brassica oleracea. To develop marker-assisted selection (MAS) that could assist the incorporation of durable clubroot resistance (CR) into cultivars, previous genetic analyses have identified several CR quantitative trait loci (CR–QTL). However, the independent and cumulative effects of each CR locus against vari ...

... Conditions were optimized for transient transformation of Lilium longiflorum ‘Nellie White’ using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Bulb scale and basal meristem explants were inoculated with A. Tumefaciens strain AGL1 containing the binary vector pCAMBIA 2301 which has the uidA gene that codes for β-glucuronidase, GUS expression. Transformed bulb scales showed transient GUS expression when they had been ...

Abstract:
... Bunches with a loose cluster structure show reduced susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea and especially to sour rot. For this reason the main purpose of all measures to reduce the compactness of bunch clusters is to increase their health and to improve wine quality. Over the last decade, wine growers in South Tyrol have been commonly applying gibberellins during full flowering in order to reduce bun ...

Abstract:
... Background and Aims Acidic soils are dominated chemically by more ammonium and more available, so more potentially toxic, aluminium compared with neutral to calcareous soils, which are characterized by more nitrate and less available, so less toxic, aluminium. However, it is not known whether aluminium tolerance and nitrogen source preference are linked in plants. Methods This question was investi ...

Abstract:
... Pineapple (Ananas comosus [L.] Merrill) is one of the economically cultivated crops in Taiwan, which is grown mostly on acid soil. Aluminum (Al) is phytotoxic and sometimes inhibits root growth of crops in strongly acid soils. This study was conducted to evaluate the role in Al resistance of root‐apex cell walls of four important pineapple cultivars (Cayenne, Tainung No. 6, Tainung No. 13, and Tai ...

Abstract:
... Aluminum (Al), the third most abundant element overall, after silicon and oxygen, is found virtually in all food, air, soil and water. Under acidic conditions, Al is solubilized into [Al(H₂O)₆]³⁺, which is highly toxic to many plant species. Present paper reviewed Al toxicity and tolerance mechanism in agricultural plants with special reference to cereals and legumes. Even at micromolar concentrat ...

RESULTS: Forty‐three Chinese cultivars were tested under three environments and used to characterise kernel hardness, Puroindoline‐D1 alleles and Alveograph and Mixolab parameters. The results indicated that SKCS hardness was positively correlated with Alveogr ...
