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...

Low nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) is a serious issue for cotton production and environmental sustainability in arid climates. A pot study was conducted to evaluate the effect of K nutrition on NUE performance low- high-K-efficiency cultivars under two moisture regimes. Treatments included soil levels—i.e., normal irrigation, 100% available water content (AWC); reduced 50% AWC—three levels nitro...

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...

While the difficulties of defining meat quality are highlighted, the importance of measuring quality attributes is recognised, However, it is suggested that emphasis be given during the immediate future to the current research programmes aimed at the design and evaluation of carcase classification and information services. Should the pilot runs of the services demonstrate that the likely costs ...

Sweet potato varies in physicochemical properties as a result of inherent varietal makeup and agroecological zones where they are grown. Although pasting profiles sweet flour can be used to determine their end-use food processing, information on systematic evaluation popular varieties Kenya Uganda is limited. Four orange-fleshed from four common were evaluated for the flours. Results indicated ...

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 ...
