Modern approaches for breeding high quality apples with durable resistance to scab, powdery mildew and fire blight [PDF]
, 2008 New methods to allow for more precise selection of tree and fruit characters in breeding programmes were developed in recent years. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is common practice in the ACW apple breeding programme at Wädenswil.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Researchers develop advanced tools to study grapevine traits like berry quality and stress resilience. A 200K SNP array and high‐throughput phenotyping enable the identification of loci linked to berry shape, sugar content, acidity, and cold tolerance. Functional validation of genes such as NAC08 reveals roles in cold tolerance.

Effect of Rapid or slow release nitrogen supply and cover crop/weed management on crop yield, pest incidence and fruit quality in intensive organic apple production [PDF]
, 2007 Apple is the commercially most important top fruit crop grown in the European Union. In spring 2001 one-year-old trees of the apple variety ‘Ingrid Marie’ were established in an organic production system with 3.0 m between the tree rows.

Increasing risks of apple tree frost damage under climate change
Climatic Change, 2019 Anthropogenic climate change is affecting agriculture and crop production. The responses of horticultural and agricultural systems to changing climatic conditions can be non-linear and at times counter-intuitive.

Zoborg: On‐Demand Climbing Control for Cyborg Beetles
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A novel on‐demand climbing protocol enables Zoborg (a cyborg beetle from the living Zophobas morio) to seamlessly transition from horizontal floors to vertical walls. Multiple unrestrained mechanosensors allow wall sensing while electrical stimulation of the elytron initiates climbing. Leveraging the agile locomotion and exceptional adaptability of the

Into the woods : exposing children to outdoor classrooms [PDF]
, 2012 An evidence-based design concept of a 1.75 acre outdoor learning environment at Apple Tree YMCA Child Development Center located in Muncie, Indiana, was developed by recognizing principles used in European forest kindergartens, identifying contextual ...

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract We present an adjusted bid price mechanism that incorporates economic multiplier effects in public food procurement decision making. Under Input–Output model assumptions, the algorithm estimates enhanced tax revenues to state governments through multiplier effects associated with in‐state supplier purchasing.

Effects of restricting movement between root and canopy populations of woolly apple aphid.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Movement of insect pests between spatially subdivided populations can allow them to recolonize areas where local extinction has occurred, increasing pest persistence. Populations of woolly apple aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum [Hausmann]; Hemiptera: Aphididae),
