Methyl jasmonate fumigation enhances crop yield and delays physiochemical quality changes by modulating the secondary metabolism in green bell pepper

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), of the ‘Lamuyo’ type, is a highly valued vegetable owing to its excellent organoleptic and nutritional properties. However, these properties are subject to deterioration during postharvest storage, which in turn limits the shelf‐life of the pepper fruit.

Morpho‐physiological and agronomic responses of wheat varieties under artificial shade in agroforestry systems

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Solar radiation is a primary constraint in silvoarable agroforestry, with yield losses near the trees well documented in temperate climates. However, genetic variability for shade tolerance remains largely unexplored. This 2‐year field trial investigated the impact of artificial shading – using nets that reduced photosynthetically ...

Influence of continuous and pulsed light on the yield and phytochemical composition of Capsicum annuum L. cv. ‘Padrón’

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) is of considerable socio‐economic importance and is among the most widely cultivated vegetables worldwide, occupying more than 20 000 km2. Light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), applied in continuous or pulsed modes, can increase yield and improve the phytochemical composition in indoor production systems ...

Effect of foliar sodium selenite fertilization on oxidative stress and productivity in Olea europaea L., biofortification and quality of extra virgin olive oil

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fertilization of plants with selenium (Se) can enhance their resistance to abiotic stresses and improve human health and nutrition. However, Se fertilization in olive trees remains underexplored. This study evaluated the effect of foliar sodium selenite fertilization on leaf Se content, oxidative stress, olive tree productivity ...
