To sustain local wine identity in uncertain climate outcomes, the study of intra-varietal diversity is important to reflect adaptive potential cultivated varieties. Findings highlight strong phenotypic studied varieties and importance diversification enhance change resilience. This first step towards quantifying heat requirements different clones how they can provide adaptation solutions for wi...

Methodical approaches to the organization and management of reproduction processes stability were presented. A specific conceptual apparatus has been developed; it reflects functional load a number concepts and, first all, fundamental ones, such as system-wide stability, development industry production sustainability processes. The characteristic current problems that constrain sustainable indu...

DNA fingerprinting has become an important tool for diversity assessment and varietal identification in plant breeding programs. Semi- random PCR primers targeting intron-exon splice junctions (ISJ) were used to evaluate the potential of these markers in identification and classification of rice genotypes. A total of 12 ISJ primers were used for screening fourteen Egyptian rice genotypes, inclu...

Barley is the grain base for pig production in Western Canada. Its successful use depends upon appropriate supplementation. Good barley contains only 90% of recommended digestible energy (DE) for growingfinishing pigs. Barley is highly variable in DE, protein and amino acid content, being affected by varietal, agronomic and climatic factors. High fibre content is associated with reduced DE cont...

5 “Brands are largely absent among fresh produce items; however, one notable exception is the apple market in which varieties partially take the place of brands. We developed an experiment to examine how consumers respond to different varietal names for NY1 which is a new managed apple variety introduced by Cornell. We found the name is an important factor in determining consumer response and t...

A need has been identified for more advanced technology to assist harvesting in the macadamia nut industry. An accurate automated method for counting nuts as they are harvested is required to replace manual labour in varietal strain investigation. A machine vision approach of counting the nuts in real time as they are collected has been chosen. This paper presents a machine vision system that i...

Increases in demand for fruit of Morinda citrifolia in recent years have led to commercial farming of the trees. Typically as a crop makes the transition from wild-harvested to commercial orchard, there is a concurrent effort to select more desirable varieties and to improve the crop. In order to make these selections and improve the crop, researchers must know about the diversity found within ...

Monovarietal virgin olive oils (VOOs) are very effective to study relationships among sensory attributes, the compounds responsible for flavour, and factors affecting them. The stimulation of the human sensory receptors by volatile and non-volatile compounds present in monovarietal virgin olive oils gives rise to the sensory attributes that describe their peculiar delicate and fragrant flavours...

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of Plant Variety Protection (PVP) on the productive merit ⁄yield increases of US seed varieties. As an example, we use wheat varieties, which are and have been available as both protected and unprotected under PVP from both the public and private sectors. We find evidence that PVP has contributed to the genetic improvement of wheat, using va...
