The kiwifruit (Actinidia sp.) vine root system: Responses to vine manipulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The root system is a significant component of whole-plant biomass in kiwifruit vines and is likely to be a considerable carbohydrate sink. Seasonal trends in root growth were investigated to infer seasonal fluctuations in root carbohydrate demand.

Pruning management in a high-density olive orchard [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The effect of different pruning strategies and times on olive vegetative-reproductive behavior was studied in a 5-year-old high-density orchard (1250 trees ha-1, cultivar ‘Ascolana tenera’).

Girdling and summer pruning in apple increase soil respiration

open access: yesScientia Horticulturae, 2011
Abstract The root system of plants derives all its energy from photosynthate translocated from the canopy to the root system. Canopy manipulations that alter either the rate of canopy photosynthesis or the translocation of photosynthate are expected to alter dry matter partitioning to the root system.

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry

Bulletin No. 140 - The Summer Pruning of a Young Bearing Apple Orchard [PDF]

open access: yes, 1915
The majority of horticultural writers seem to favor the summer pruning of apple trees. The practice, and the arguments made in its favor vary widely and in some instances seem almost contradictory.

Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

Environmental drivers influencing the ambrosia beetle community: The primary role of geographic and climatic drivers in chestnut‐growing areas

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ethanol‐baited traps were placed in cultivated chestnut orchards (a) and mixed environments with assorted tree composition (b), over a 2‐year monitoring period in two valleys (NW Italy). A total of 118,286 ambrosia beetles was collected, representing six species.

Postharvest and Preharvest Summer Pruning of ‘Firebrite’ Nectarine Trees

open access: yesHortScience, 1989
Abstract The effect of postharvest and preharvest summer pruning techniques on photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD) and yield characteristics were studied in mature ‘Firebrite’ nectarine [ Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] trees.

The histone deacetylase inhibitor, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, restores blood–brain barrier integrity in a human stem cell‐based model of ischaemic stroke

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Ischaemic stroke is characterised by acute cerebrovascular occlusion and blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown. Our results indicated that the histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) ameliorated the loss of BBB integrity, changed the morphology of brain endothelial cells, increased the level of basement membrane and ...
