Root exudation of phloridzin by apple seedlings (Malus x domestica Borkh.) with symptoms of apple replant disease

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2012
This study investigates the occurrence of the flavonoid phloridzin (phloretin-2'-O-β-D-glucoside) in root exudates of apple seedlings showing growth reduction related to apple replant disease (ARD).

Série Felix

Agropecuária Catarinense
Por ser uma espécie alógama e portadora de autoincompatibilidade gametofítica, a macieira (Malus x domestica Borkh.), via de regra, só frutifica satisfatoriamente na presença de outro cultivar usado como polinizador.

A Branched SNF1‐Related Protein Kinase 2 Signalling Cascade Controls ABA‐Induced Ethylene Production and Regulates Both Fruit Ripening and Reproductive Growth

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2657-2672, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Control of fruit ripening, quality and yield is of major scientific, nutritional and commercial importance. The burst of ethylene (ET) production at the initiation of ripening is the most critical event controlling climacteric (CL) fruit ripening, yet little is known about how it is initiated.

Exploring phenotypic diversity and stability of key traits for apple breeding in northeastern Spanish germplasm

Frontiers in Plant Science
Malus x domestica Borkh is a key temperate fruit crop globally, but climate change and market demands highlight the need to broaden its narrow genetic base.

Fruit and Leaf Response to Different Source–Sink Ratios in Apple, at the Scale of the Fruit-Bearing Branch

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Apple fruit growth is the result of several factors: inherent demand (relative sink strength) of the fruit (defined by the demands for cell division and expansion growth, etc.), carbon assimilation by the source leaves (source strength), and the ...

Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

First whole genome sequence of a diploid crop wild relative of the Andean tuber “oca”: Annotation and comparative genomic analysis of Oxalis oulophora

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Oxalis oulophora, a diploid species closely related to the octoploid Andean tuber crop oca (Oxalis tuberosa), was selected for whole‐genome sequencing to aid in understanding the origins of polyploidy and domestication in oca and its relatives (crop wild relatives).

Variability in apple fruit quality across management systems and latitudinal climate gradients

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 212-230, January 2026.
As the world transitions to more sustainable agricultural practices to combat environmental damage, it is important to investigate how different management systems shape the quality and nutrition of our crops. We analyzed apples from paired organic and conventional sites across the western United States.

Assessing essential oils from Macaronesia: a study on their efficacy against phytopathogenic and obligate biotrophic fungi

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 421-432, January 2026.
Essential oils (EOs) extracted from eight culinary herbs and spices were evaluated via direct‐contact bioassays, both in vitro and in vivo, against three species of phytopathogenic fungi and one obligatory biotrophic fungus. Phenylpropanoid‐rich EOs presented the strongest antifungal activity in both bioassays with the phytopathogenic and the obligate ...
