Sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) are highly appreciated fruits for their taste, color, nutritional value, and beneficial health effects. In this work, seven new cultivars of sweet cherry were investigated main quality traits nutraceutical value. The phytochemical profile three classes phenolic compounds the antioxidant activity through high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) spectrophotometric assays, respectively, compared those commonly commercialized...

The anthocyanin and tannin concentration composition of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sangiovese berries were investigated from post-veraison to harvest. Exhaustive extraction with methanol acetone was performed determine the total flavonoid concentration, while a model hydroalcoholic solution used prepare extracts representing winemaking process. aim this study improve knowledge phenolic maturity grape.The increased during ripening, but quantity extractable anthocyanins more rapidly than total....
High temperatures and the anomalous distribution of rainfall during growing season may have a negative impact on grapevine yield berry composition. In recent years, many studies focused application agronomical techniques to reduce heat waves secondary metabolites such as phenols. particular, treatments with kaolin shown positive effects reducing canopy temperatures, enhancing accumulation anthocyanins. regard above, three were evaluated: untreated control (C), (CAO), chabasite-rich...
Plant-associated microbes can shape plant phenotype, performance, and productivity. Cultivation methods influence the microbiome structure differences observed in nutritional quality of differently grown fruits might be due to variations taxonomic functional composition. Here, organic integrated pest management (IPM) cultivation on quality, aroma raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) was evaluated. Differences fruit IPM were examined by next-generation sequencing bacterial isolates characterization...
The influence of four different harvest times on the bull's eye rot 'Cripps Pink' apple caused by Neofabraea spp. was investigated in two orchards harvested at times. In addition, a control strategy based chemical treatments performed preharvest or postharvest evaluated. Regression analysis between time and disease incidence revealed high r2 values (>0.75). All fungicide significantly (P < 0.0085) reduced incidence; however, thiophanate-methyl (achieving >87% control) more effective than...
In greenhouses, where intensive systems are widely used for organic production, the differences between “conventionalized” and agroecological approaches especially evident. Among agronomic practices, green manure from service crops (ASCs) amendments represent main tools soil fertility management with respect to substitution of synthetic fertilizer ones (the input approach). Over a two-year rotation, we compared conventionalized system (SB) two systems, characterized by ASC introduction...
We analysed the spatially explicit floristic information available in herbarium of Ulisse Aldrovandi (1551–1586) to track changes surroundings Bologna across five centuries. Aldrovandi's data were compared with Flora della Provincia di by Girolamo Cocconi (1883) and Floristic Database Emilia-Romagna (1965–2021). explored potential variations native range life forms composition, habitat affinity species three floras, also contrasting between alien species. Native species, mainly terms...
Powdery mildew, caused by Golovinomyces orontii and Podosphaera xanthii, is a widespread disease that causes important losses in cucurbit production. To determine the aetiology epidemiology of powdery mildew North Italy, observations on occurrence main disease-causing fungal species were conducted during 2010, 2011 2012 growing seasons. Samples infected leaves zucchini, melon pumpkin plants, either from field or greenhouse crops, collected every 15–18 days May to September/October. identify...
Several standard techniques currently used in the reclamation and revegetation of former quarry land Italy's northern Apennine region were compared. The trial site, a 40-degree slope with clay soil, high pH little organic matter, was arranged randomized block design. assayed hydro-seeding+tillage, hydro-seeding on sod, straw mulch+tar, jute mats+tillage+hydro-seeding, mats+tillage control. Each plot enriched equal amounts chopped (120 g m−2), worm compost (140 m−2) fertilizer Biosol® m−2);...
Abstract The investigation of acid and sugar content in an array apricot cultivars progenies indicates the existence marked variability. Citric varied from 0.17 to 1.20% malic 0.21 1.51% on fresh weight. Fructose 0.27 1.60%, glucose 0.90 3.13% sucrose 1.92 6.92%. estimate heritability was high for total main sugars, reaching over 0.50%. Acids generally showed low coefficients, although those citric (0.27) (0.36) were good. With exception one progeny, all genotype/year comparisons not...
Research has shown that pomefruit orchard production can be forecast. Basic information about characteristics as tree density, fruit load and size translate into useful on production. In most cases the complete flow of this is only available after harvest. Precision horticulture integrates in order to evaluate management performed by grower, assess whether it line achieve desired targets or not. The Department Agricultural Sciences University Bologna HK-Horticultural Knowledge (HK, 2011)...
Grapevines are frequently subjected to heatwaves and limited water availability during ripening. These conditions can have consequences for the physiological health of vines. Moreover, situation is often exacerbated by intense solar radiation, resulting in reduced yield due sunburn a decline quality. In light these challenges, our study aimed develop fruit-zone cooling system designed mitigate grape damage improve microclimate within vineyard. The comprises network proximal sensors that...
The aim of the present experiment was to evaluate effectiveness soil electrical conductivity (EC) measurement as a fast tool assess mineral nitrogen (N) in orchards, order define precise N inputs that can help farmers reduce useless fertilizer application. During one vegetative season, seven orchards different species, supplied with or organic fertilization, were monitored. Nitrate concentration measured monthly by laboratory analyses, while EC and moisture recorded continuously probes....
Plant regeneration is a critical step in most vitro breeding techniques. This paper studies the effects of low-molecular-weight humic acid (HA) on morphogenesis from pear and quince leaf explants. Variable HA amounts [0 (control), 1, 5, 10, 20 mg C L–1] were added to media. A dose–response effect was observed for root shoot production; it improved at 1 L–1 considerably reduced highest amounts. was, instead, ineffective quince. The 1H HR-MAS NMR analyses calli induction phase showed more...
