Triterpene Content in Flesh and Peel of Apples Grown on Different Rootstocks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-05)Advancements in rootstock breeding and selection have revolutionized the manner in which apples are grown throughout the world. Fruit tree breeding has typically focused on key horticultural characteristics. Even though ... -
Apple Fruit Growth and Quality Depend on the Position in Tree Canopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-12)Modern apple orchard systems should guarantee homogeneity of fruit internal and external qualities and fruit maturity parameters. However, when orchards reach productive age, a variation of these parameters takes place and ... -
Environmental Impact of Feeding with Infant Formula in Comparison with Breastfeeding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-24)Young children have unique nutritional requirements, and breastfeeding is the best option to support healthy growth and development. Concerns have been raised around the increasing use of milk-based infant formulas in ... -
Opportunities for mitigating soil compaction in Europe—Case studies from the SoilCare project using soil-improving cropping systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-02)Soil compaction (SC) is a major threat for agriculture in Europe that affects many ecosystem functions, such as water and air circulation in soils, root growth, and crop production. Our objective was to present the results ... -
Does Shoot Age Influence Biological and Chemical Properties in Black Currant (Ribes nigrum L.) Cultivars?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-24)The aim of this study was to examine the influence of shoot age on the biological and chemical properties of 13 black currant cultivars with different origins and ripening times. Phenological observations together with ... -
Effect of temperature and photoperiod preconditioning on flowering and yield performance of three everbearing strawberry cultivars
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-06)Environmental control of flowering in everbearing strawberry is well known, while the optimal commercial raising conditions for high and continuous yield remains unsettled. We exposed freshly rooted plants of cultivars ... -
Possibility of Vegetable Soybean Cultivation in North Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-07-01)The interest in cultivation of vegetable soybeans, also known as edamame, in the North Europe region has increased during the last years due to their high nutritional value and excellent taste properties. During the last ... -
Characterization of environmental effects on flowering and plant architecture in an everbearing strawberry F1-hybrid by meristem dissection and gene expression analysis. Horticulturae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-07-22)Floral transition in the cultivated everbearing strawberry is a hot topic because these genotypes flower perpetually and are difficult to maintain in a non-flowering state. However, it has rarely been studied using ... -
Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Activity in Apples of the ‘Galaval’ Cultivar Grown on 17 Different Rootstocks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-28)Apple cultivars are one of the main factors setting the composition of bioactive compounds in apples and the quality of the fruit. However, research has been providing increasing amounts of data on the influence of rootstocks ... -
Use of Copper-Based Fungicides in Organic Agriculture in Twelve European Countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-10)The reduction of copper-based plant-protection products with the final aim of phasing out has a high priority in European policy, as well as in organic agriculture. Our survey aims at providing an overview of the current ... -
Associations among nutrient concentration, silage fermentation products, in vivo organic matter digestibility, rumen fermentation and in vitro methane yield in 78 grass silages
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-23)Grass-clover silage constitutes a large part of ruminant diets in Northern and Western Europe, but the impact of silage quality on methane (CH4) production is largely unknown. This study was conducted to identify the quality ... -
Changes in daylength and temperature from April until August for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) reared in sea cages, increase growth, and may cause consumption of antioxidants, onset of cataracts and increased oxidation of fillet astaxanthin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-29)The hypothesis of the present study was that increased growth in spring, stimulated by increasing temperature and daylength, leads to oxidative stress in Atlantic salmon with accumulation of oxidation products in the tissues ... -
Growth analysis of the everbearing strawberry 'Delizzimo' under controlled temperature and photoperiod conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-23)Background There is limited information on the effect of environment on vegetative growth in everbearing (EB) strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) and its comparison with the situation in seasonal flowering types. Methods ... -
Enrichment of the protein content of the macroalgae Saccharina latissima and Palmaria palmata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-30)The large brown seaweeds (kelps) are potential sources of protein for animal feed. They have lower protein contents than most red and green algae, but due to potential for large-scale production, they may represent a ... -
