Abstract Water saving under drought stress is assured by stomatal closure driven active (ABA-mediated) and/or passive (hydraulic-mediated) mechanisms. There currently no comprehensive model nor any general consensus about the actual contribution and relative importance of each above factors in modulating planta . In present study, we assessed (hydraulic) vs (ABA mediated) mechanisms V. vinifera plants facing stress. Leaf gas exchange decreased progressively to zero during embolism-induced...
Knowledge of tree size is great importance for the precision management a hazelnut orchard. In fact, it has been shown that site-specific crop allows best possible and efficiency use inputs. Generally, measurements parameters are carried out using manual techniques time-consuming, labor-intensive not very precise. The aim this study was to propose, evaluate validate simple innovative procedure images acquired by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) canopy characterization in intensive considered...
Current understanding of physiological mechanisms governing stomatal behavior under water stress conditions is still incomplete and controversial. It has been proposed that coordination kinetics with xylem vulnerability to cavitation [vulnerability curve (VC)] leads different levels isohydry/anisohydry in plant species/cultivars. In this study, hypothesis tested Vitis vinifera cultivars displaying contrasting drought stress. The cv Montepulciano (MP, near-isohydric) Sangiovese (SG,...
Olive fruits of three different cultivars (Moraiolo, Dolce di Andria, and Nocellara Etnea) were monitored during ripening up to harvest, specific total phenols measured by HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography). On the same olive samples (n = 450), spectral detections performed using a portable NIR (Near Infrared)-AOTF (Acousto Optically Tunable Filter) device in diffuse reflectance mode (1100-2300 nm). Prediction models developed for main phenolic compounds (e.g., oleuropein,...
Adventitious root formation in plant cuttings is influenced by many endogenous and environmental factors. Leaf photosynthesis during rooting of leafy hard to species can contribute supply carbohydrates the intensive metabolic processes related adventious formation. Light intensity artificially kept low decrease potential cutting desiccation, but be limiting for photosynthetic activity. Furthermore, collected from different part shoot have a ability fuel adventitious stem. The aim this work...
Abstract BACKGROUND In the present study a metabolomics‐based approach was used to discriminate among different hazelnut cultivars and trace their geographical origins. Ultra‐high‐pressure liquid chromatography coupled quadrupole‐time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC‐ESI/QTOF‐MS) profile phenolic sterolic compounds. RESULTS Compounds were identified against an in‐house database using accurate monoisotopic isotopic patterns. The screening designed discern 15 origins of six from four main...
In 2006 and 2009, trials were carried out in the Apulia region Southern Italy to evalu-ate possibility of mechanizing olive harvesting groves old very large trees. The trees belonged cultivars ‘Cellina di Nardò’ ‘Ogliarola Salentina’. They 60-100 years 7-9 m tall with a canopy volume 140-360 m3. first half November 2006, mechanical beater mounted on tractor plus hand-held pneumatic combs, yield was close 90% total olives present canopy, working productivity around 60 kg harvested h-1...
In Brazil due to the establishment of new orchards, olive seedling production is growing strongly, while use biostimulants in agriculture has been gaining attention their benefits root formation and nutrient absorption. This study evaluated for promoting growth 3-month-old rooted seedlings pots assess nursery quality seedlings. Rooted cuttings Arbequina, Maria da Fé, Ascolano 315 cultivars were treated with Azospirillum brasilense (Az) humic substances (HS), alone combination. Growth...
Malate is accumulated in grape pericarp until the start of ripening and then it dissimilated. One aim this study was to determine if potential contribution stored malate substrate requirements metabolism dependent on cultivar. Two Vitis vinifera L. cultivars which different amounts had periods a length were compared. The over whole period around 20 % cv. Sagrantino 29 Pinot Noir. higher Noir because contained more shorter period. A second evaluate gluconeogenesis amount sugar pericarp. If...
The demand for nuts has prompted the need to identify additional zones hazelnut cultivation in Italy. There is great interest Abruzzo Region, central–eastern part of country. relationships between climate and environmental requirements were analyzed, taking into account geography region, as well change. study was conducted by using weather data from 34 stations 1980 2019. chilling species are mostly met, except on southern coast. Hot spring summer caused an increase growing degree day all...
In this study, the effects of climate change on irrigation water requirement hazelnut trees were investigated in Central Italy. The meteorological variables considered precipitation, temperature, chilling units, and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) hydrological reference evapotranspiration (ET0) based soil balance. Climate data collected from eight stations for period 1974–2021, ET0 was estimated by Hargreaves Samani equation. SPI index calculated a four-month time scale corresponding...
Knowledge of crop water requirements is important in supporting irrigation management. Evapotranspiration (ET) commonly measured with a variety instruments and field procedures, but it also typically computed or modeled using the FAO56 FAO66 methods. The adoption this approach requires assessment coefficients. Some data are available for own-rooted hazelnut trees, no have been reported young grafted trees. There need to update nut–tree coefficients, especially considering modern cultivars...
