Field Resistance to Verticillium Wilt in Selected Olive Cultivars Grown in Two Naturally Infested Soils
(The American Phytopathological Society, 2013)
The resistance of 11 olive cultivars to Verticillium dahliae was assessed in two experimental field trials. One-year-old rooted olive cuttings from the World Olive Germplasm Bank (IFAPA research center, Córdoba, Spain) ...
Looking for variable molecular markers in the chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus: first comparison across genes
(Frontiers, 2018)
The quick spread of the chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus in Europe constitutes an outstanding
example of recent human-aided biological invasion with dramatic economic losses. We screened for
the first time a set ...
Variability and selection of verticillium wilt resistant genotypes in cultivated olive and in the Olea genus
(2015)
Developing verticillium wilt resistant genotypes is currently a major objective in olive breeding. In this study, 6017 genotypes derived from 48 crosses obtained by open pollination and crosses between olive cultivars, ...
Effective inoculation methods to screen for resistance to Verticillium wilt in olive
(2013)
Effective inoculation methods to screen for Verticillium wilt resistance are essential for the development of olive cultivars resistant to this devastating disease. Three inoculation methods, pot immmersion, bare-root ...
Enhancing Integrated Pest Management in GM Cotton Systems Using Host Plant Resistance
(Frontiers, 2016)
Cotton has lost many ancestral defensive traits against key invertebrate pests. This is suggested by the levels of resistance to some pests found in wild cotton genotypes as well as in cultivated landraces and is a result ...
Occurrence and variability of sexual polyembryony in olive cultivars
(Elsevier, 2014)
The occurrence of spontaneous sexual polyembryony is described and characterized for cultivated olive (Olea europaea L.). We screened seeds from 24 olive cultivars and found significant differences in the frequency of ...
Climate Trends Impact on the Snowfall Regime in Mediterranean Mountain Areas: Future Scenario Assessment in Sierra Nevada (Spain)
(MDPI, 2018)
Snow constitutes a key component of the water cycle, which is directly affected by changes
in climate. Mountainous regions, especially those located in semiarid environments, are highly
vulnerable to shifts from snowfall ...
Quantifying Snow Cover Distribution in Semiarid Regions Combining Satellite and Terrestrial Imagery
(MDPI, 2017)
Mediterranean mountainous regions constitute a climate change hotspot where snow plays
a crucial role in water resources. The characteristic snow-patched distribution over these areas makes
spatial resolution the limiting ...
Comparison between Snow Albedo Obtained from Landsat TM, ETM+ Imagery and the SPOT VEGETATION Albedo Product in a Mediterranean Mountainous Site
(MDPI, 2016)
Albedo plays an important role in snow evolution modeling quantifying the amount of solar
radiation absorbed and reflected by the snowpack, especially in mid-latitude regions with semiarid
conditions. Satellite remote ...
Irrigation decision support based on leaf relative water content determination in olive grove using near infrared spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2019)
The relative water content (RWC) provides a measurement of the water deficit of the leaf and may indicate a degree of stress, endured under conditions of drought and high temperatures. Its measurement is therefore essential ...
