The woody nature of grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) has hindered the development efficient gene editing strategies to improve this species. lack highly transfer techniques, which, furthermore, are applied in multicellular explants such as somatic embryos, additional technical handicaps vine. inclusion geminivirus-based replicons regular T-DNA vectors can enhance expression clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) elements, thus...
Gray mold is the primary postharvest disease of 'Hayward' kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) in Chile, with a prevalence 33.1% 2016 and 7.1% 2017. develops during storage, which characterized by soft, light to brown watery decay that caused Botrytis cinerea B. prunorum. However, there no information on role prunorum development storage Chile. For this purpose, asymptomatic flowers receptacles were collected throughout fruit harvest from five orchards over two seasons Central Valley...
Stem end rot (SER) caused by Botrytis cinerea is the primary postharvest disease in Chilean kiwifruit industry. Relationships between occurrence of SER ‘Hayward’ and temporal dynamics earlier B. colonization floral parts (petals, sepals, receptacles, styles) was studied five orchards over two consecutive seasons Chile. Weather conditions first season favored infection with roughly constant up to about 120 days after full bloom, but then increased until harvest. In second season, throughout....
During the last two seasons, an unusual fruit rot was observed in four orchards of sweet Japanese plum (
