OENO OneSunburn on grapes has emerged as an economic concern in recent decades. The phenomenon can be attributed to climatic changes, characterised by elevated air temperatures and intense solar radiation, leading to increased crop failures as well as quality ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is managed to balance the ratio of leaf area (source) to fruit mass (sink). Over cropping in the grapevine may reveal itself as spontaneous fruit abortion, delayed ripening, or as alternate bearing.

Optimum Sample Size for Determining Disease Severity and Defoliation Associated with Septoria Leaf Spot of Blueberry [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2006 In a 3-year field study, Premier rabbiteye blueberry plants were sampled at three hierarchical levels (leaf, shoot, and bush) to assess severity of Septoria leaf spot (caused by Septoria al-bopunctata) and incidence of defoliation. A positive linear relationship (R 2 = 0.977, P < 0.0001, n = 2127) was observed between the number of spots per leaf ...

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia
JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We evaluated habitat characteristics of spring migration routes and stopover sites for adult female elk (Cervus canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the San Juan Mountains (2021–2022) and found species‐specific differences in vegetation structure, terrain, and proximity to land cover types relative to ...

Pre- and post-windstorm leaf area index of Carpinus betulus trees in an urban forest patch
İstanbul Üniversitesi Orman Fakültesi Dergisi, 2016 Natural disturbances are rather rare for the urban forests compared to the anthropogenic ones. However, forcible natural impact may be substantially destructive such as severe storms.

From mainland to islands: the evolution of resistance and tolerance to herbivory in long‐lived oaks
Oikos, EarlyView.Island biogeography theory predicts that island plants should exhibit reduced defences compared with their mainland relatives due to relaxed herbivory pressure. However, growing empirical evidence challenges this prediction, revealing substantial variation among systems, plant lineages and defence types.

Wind speed, sun exposure and water status alter sunburn susceptibility of grape berries
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 In the context of climate change, yield and quality losses from sunburn necrosis are challenging grape growers around the world. In a previous review, we identified the role of wind speed, duration of heat exposure, drought stress and adaptation as major
