Genome-wide association mapping of frost tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Background: Frost tolerance is a key trait with economic and agronomic importance in barley because it is a major
component of winter hardiness, and therefore limits the geographical distribution of the crop and the ...
QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly
valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of
crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity
Array Technology"-based barley map has been
developed in the ...
Ecological restoration across the Mediterranean Basin as viewed by practitioners
Restoration efforts in the Mediterranean Basin have been changing from a silvicultural to an ecological restoration
approach. Yet, to what extent the projects are guided by ecological restoration principles remains ...
Do faba bean (Vicia faba L.) accessions from environments with contrasting seasonal moisture availabilities differ in stomatal characteristics and related traits?
Drought is a major constraint to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production, and there are many mechanisms by which leaves can regulate water loss. Our primary objective was to test if the origin of the faba bean accessions, ...
Effect of flushing frequency on emitter clogging in microirrigation with effluents
Flushing is an important maintenance task that removes accumulated particles in microirrigation
laterals that can help to reduce clogging problems. The effect of three dripline flushing frequency
treatments (no flushing, ...
Preliminary planning for reclaimed water reuse for agricultural irrigation in the province of Girona, Catalonia (Spain)
The province of Girona (Catalonia, Spain) is not an area where there is a structural defi cit of
water. There are certain problems and restrictions connected with climatic conditions and with
special seasonal factors related ...
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight
contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. From 1930 to
2000, ...
Effectiveness of sand media filters for removing turbidity and recovering dissolved oxygen from a reclaimed effluent used for micro-irrigation
Sand media filters are among the most common filters used in micro-irrigation systems, especially for
filtering waters with large amounts of organic contaminants like reclaimed effluents. An experiment was
conducted for ...
New mathematical model for computing head loss across sand media filter for microirrigation systems
Dimensional analysis was used to develop a
new mathematical model that can describe head loss across
sand filters for microirrigation using parameters that are
easy to estimate. The developed model was compared with
others ...
