Nectar and flower traits of different onion male sterile lines related to pollination efficiency and seed yield of F1 hybrids
(Entomological Society of America, 2013-06)Honey bees are the main pollinators of onion crops for seed production, but owing to low attractiveness of flowers, pollination is often inadequate. Pollination problems result in low seed yields. This problem is accentuated ... -
New insight into how thigmomorphogenesis affects Epipremnum aureum plant development
(2018-09)Climbing Epipremnum aureum plants develop larger leaves than unsupported, hanging plants. This effect may be regarded, in part, as a thigmomorphogenic response, but gravimorphogenetic effect may also be involved, since ... -
Nitric oxide and abscisic acid regulate osmoprotective and antioxidative mechanisms related to water stress tolerance of grapevines
(Wiley, 2021-03)Background and Aims: Exogenously applied nitric oxide (NO) and abscisic acid (ABA) are known to improve the tolerance of plants to abiotic stress. The effects of NO and ABA applications on physiological and metabolic ... -
Nutritional quality of orange tomatoes for fresh consumption and processing products
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2017)In Argentina, commercial tomatoes for fresh consumption as well for processed products traditionally have red fruits. Although other fruit colors (yellow, purple) are present in the “cherry” types, orange tomatoes for ... -
Onion Cultivars Released by La Consulta Experiment Station, INTA, Argentina
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2000-12)The onion crop is of great importance in Argentina and, with garlic (Allium sativum L.), is the main fresh vegetable exported. The principal market for Argentine onions is Brazil, with significant exports to Europe and the ... -
Onion Hybrid Seed Production: Relation with Nectar Composition and Flower Traits
(2018-05)Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the main vegetable crops. Pollinators are required for onion seed production, being honeybees the most used. Around the world, two types of onion varieties are grown: open pollinated (OP) ... -
Organosulfur and phenolic content of garlic (Allium sativum L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.) and its relationship with antioxidant activity
(2016)Garlic and onion have a role in decreasing risks of chronic diseases due to their antioxidant activity. These biological effects have been attributed in part to organosulfur and flavonoid compounds present in Allium. The ... -
A physiological indicator to estimate allicin content in garlic during storage
(2013-08)The aim of the present work was to evaluate the application of a physiological indicator as marker of allicin content during postharvest storage at different temperatures. Sureño INTA garlic cultivar was stored at room ... -
Pseudomonas fluorescens and Azospirillum brasilense Increase Yield and Fruit Quality of Tomato Under Field Conditions
(Springer, 2020-09)Crop inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a sustainable alternative to diminish the excessive use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture. However, there is little information about PGPR inoculation ... -
Quality evaluation and discrimination of flavouring process of garlic-flavoured vegetable oils
(2017)In this study, the effects of two garlic-flavouring processes on quality parameters and the organosulphur compound profile were investigated. The results showed that the addition of fresh garlic increased acidity ... -
Rendimiento y calidad de semillas en cultivo de zanahoria implantado con mini raíces o cepellón = Yield and quality of seeds in carrot crop implanted with miniroots or speedling
(Asociación Argentina de Horticultura, 2017)En la producción de semilla de zanahoria con el método semilla – semilla, la implantación del cultivo por trasplante se puede hacer con miniraíces o cepellones. El objetivo del ensayo fue comparar la implantación del cultivo ... -
Reproductive biology of the native forage grass Trichloris crinita (Poaceae, Chloridoideae)
(2017-05)Trichloris crinita is a perennial forage grass species native to arid regions of the American continent. Due to its extensive area of distribution, good forage quality and resistance to drought and grazing, this species ... -
Role of ABA and Gibberellin A3 on gene expression pattern of sugar transporters and invertases in Vitis vinifera cv. Malbec during berry ripening
(2018-03)Sugars are key constituents that affect quality of grape berries, and consequently the grape metabolic profile relevant to wine’s industry. However, enzymes and transporter genes expression involved in sugar transport at ... -
San Juan county horticulture profile
(ASAHO, 2020-02-27)La Provincia de San Juan se ubica en el centro oeste del territorio argentino. Con relieve de cadenas montañosas solo el 2,36% de la superficie (oasis irrigados) es apta para agricultura. Por su clima desértico, (precipitaciones ... -
Short‐term hybridisation activates Tnt1 and Tto1 Copia retrotransposons in wild tuber‐bearing Solanum species
(2015-07)Interspecific hybridisation in tuber‐bearing species of Solanum is a common phenomenon and represents an important source of variability, crucial for adaptation and speciation of potato species. In this regard, the effects ... -
