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 ...

Acetylation of α-tubulin on Lys⁴⁰ is thought to be a modification that regulates the dynamic instability of microtubules, but little is known about the occurrence of α-tubulin acetylation in plants. Here we report on a growth stage-dependent change in levels of α-tubulin acetylation and the organ distribution of acetylated α-tubulin in Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Widespread occurrence of α-tubuli ...
