Control of Woolly Apple Aphid ( <i>Eriosoma lanigerum</i> ) by Augmenting Earwigs ( <i>Forficula auricularia</i> ) in the Canopy of Apple Trees Open
Woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), is a damaging pest of apple ( Malus domestica F.) found in most regions of the world where apples grow. The control of this aphid is becoming increasingly difficult due to changes in pesti…
A Whole Plant Analysis of Chloride and Sodium Exclusion Using a Range of Grapevine Rootstock Genotypes Open
Background and Aims. Salt exclusion is an important attribute for wine grapes since many countries have limits to the concentration of sodium (Na+) and/or chloride (Cl−) tolerated in wine. The aim was to investigate whole plant capacity fo…
Development of new wine‐, dried‐ and tablegrape scions and rootstocks for Australian viticulture: past, present and future Open
This review highlights the contributions of CSIRO to the development of new scions and rootstocks for the Australian winegrape, driedgrape and tablegrape industries. Initially, CSIRO played a pivotal role in the selection of high-yielding …
Rootstock type influences salt exclusion response of grafted Shiraz under salt treatment at elevated root zone temperature Open
Background and Aims The temperature of the upper soil zone lags but strongly correlates with prevailing air temperature. The effect of root zone (RZ) temperature on shoot salt exclusion is poorly understood. The aim was to gain a better un…
Investigating the effects of elevated temperature on salinity tolerance traits in grapevine rootstocks using high‐throughput phenotyping Open
Background and Aims Predicted impacts of climate change—increased temperature, decreased rainfall, and reduced water availability—are expected to increase irrigation-related salinity in Australia's major wine regions. Breeding of new abiot…
Grapevine salt tolerance Open
Salinity, which is predominantly an issue for agricultural systems in arid and semi-arid regions, has the potential to impair grape production and wine quality, and its impact on the grape and wine industries is predicted to increase with …
Biosynthesis and regulation of flavonoids in buckwheat Open
Buckwheat contains an abundance of antioxidants such as polyphenols and is considered a functional food. Among polyphenols, flavonoids have multiple functions in various aspects of plant growth and in flower and leaf colors. Flavonoids hav…
The <span>MYB</span>5‐driven <span>MBW</span> complex recruits a <span>WRKY</span> factor to enhance the expression of targets involved in vacuolar hyper‐acidification and trafficking in grapevine Open
Summary The accumulation of secondary metabolites and the regulation of tissue acidity contribute to the important traits of grape berry and influence plant performance in response to abiotic and biotic factors. In several plant species a …
Grape berry flavonoids: a review of their biochemical responses to high and extreme high temperatures Open
Climate change scenarios predict an increase in average temperatures and in the frequency, intensity, and length of extreme temperature events in many wine regions around the world. In already warm and hot regions, such changes may comprom…
A new buckwheat dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR), with a unique substrate binding structure, has altered substrate specificity Open
We isolated two buckwheat cDNA clones of DFR genes. FeDFR2 has unique structural and functional features that differ from those of previously reported DFRs in other plants. The 3D model suggested that not only the amino acid at the third p…
Functional differences in transport properties of natural <span>HKT</span>1;1 variants influence shoot Na<sup>+</sup> exclusion in grapevine rootstocks Open
Summary Under salinity, Vitis spp. rootstocks can mediate salt (NaCl) exclusion from grafted V. vinifera scions enabling higher grapevine yields and production of superior wines with lower salt content. Until now, the genetic and mechanist…
Genotyping by Sequencing in Almond: SNP Discovery, Linkage Mapping, and Marker Design Open
In crop plant genetics, linkage maps provide the basis for the mapping of loci that affect important traits and for the selection of markers to be applied in crop improvement. In outcrossing species such as almond (Prunus dulcis Mill. D. A…
HPLC analysis of anthocyanins and flavonols and expressions of different copies of <i>F3´5´H</i> in grapevine transgenic lines Open
Transgenic lines of grapevine containing silencing constructs of F3´5´H based on ihpRNA mechanism were studied for their flavonoids and for the expression of F3´5´H gene copies. 83-89 % of transgenic lines showed various degrees of silenci…
Additional file 6: Table S4. of Identification of two novel powdery mildew resistance loci, Ren6 and Ren7, from the wild Chinese grape species Vitis piasezkii Open
QTLs detected in interval mapping (IM), multiple QTL mapping (MQM) in the base mapping population using different disease evaluation assays. The IM analysis was also carried out with genotypes possessing either Ren6 (IM without Ren7) or Re…
