A project to identify and map scab and powdery mildew resistance genes in apple
Apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) and powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha) are the two most important fungal pathogens in apple orchards. To control these pathogens, a lot of plant protection treatments are applied per season in commercial fruit ...

Combining Ability and Hybrid Breeding in Tunisian Melon (Cucumis melo L.) for Fruit Traits [PDF]
A half-diallel cross study of seven melon inbred lines was carried out. The seven parents and their 21 F1 hybrids were evaluated for precocity of maturity, average weight per fruit, and fruit quality (fruit size, rind thickness, and soluble solids).

Gene transfer as an important approach to resistance breeding in apple
, 2006 Apple trees were genetically engineered to increase resistance to diseases such as fire blight, apple scab and powdery mildew. To increase resistance to fire blight, genes coding for antibacterial proteins have previously been used, such as attacin E ...

Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines why German farmers show limited adoption of commodity futures contracts despite substantial price volatility, applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand the cognitive processes driving participation decisions in futures markets. Survey data from 303 German farmers collected in 2024 were analyzed using Partial
