An emerging role of epigenetics and antifreeze proteins to engineer cold resilient plants Cold stress adversely affects plant growth, development, and yield. Also, the spatial and geographical distribution of plant species is influenced by low temperatures. Cold stress includes chilling and/or freezing temperatures, which trigger entirely different plant responses. Freezing tolerance is acquired via […]
Daily consumption of pistachios – a rich dietary source of gamma-tocopherol – may help reduce the risk of lung and other cancers, according to research presented at the American Association for Cancer Research’s Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference, held from Dec. Hernandez, a registered dietician from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, and […]
Key tools to maximize pistachio production in ‘trickier’ saline soil The expansion of California pistachio acreage into “trickier” soils means a higher level of management to maximize nut production. There are areas on the West Side of the San Joaquin Valley where planted pistachio trees are presenting challenges to growers and managers, says Daniele Zaccaria, […]
The revolutionary AMEC® molecule arrives to Chile AMECSYSTEM® technology works with AMEC®, a novel molecule developed by Codiagro after working for many years with carboxylic acids, that is now available in Chile through AMecological. AMEC® is the result of several years of research with carboxylic acids and the joint work between Codiagro and the Department […]
Pruning For Structural Strength, Tree Health, Fruit Production And Size: There are many ways to train and prune fruit trees – no single method is right for all situations and needs. One important consideration is tree size. Many people prefer small trees because they are easier to manage and harvest and more fruit types can […]
