Raw RNA reads (100 bp paired end reads) were independently trimmed, quality filtered and had their adaptors removed using Trimmomatic v0.36 [61]. The trimming process involved removing the Truseq adaptor sequences and the first 15 base pairs of each read sequence. Regions of low quality calling...
Among these grape genomic regions, 19.1% have one orthologous region in kiwifruit, 20.5% have two, 23% have three, 19.3% have four, 11% have five, 4.4% have six, 2.2% have seven and a few (<1%) have eight, nine and ten. This pattern is similar to that of Arabidopsis31, whose ...
There is growing evidence that kiwifruit have beneficial effects on digestive health and general wellbeing, a potentially important characteristic in the light of the increasing proportion of the elderly population in ageing societies that experience impaired bowel function, changes in gastrointestinal functi...
Many armoured scale (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) are polyphagous and the various plants growing near orchards are potential hosts for scale which can invade adjacent kiwifruit, Actinidia deliciosa, vines. Scale insects were collected from sprayed and unsprayed vines, scale-free potted kiwifruit plants ...
(Fig.1a–c, e), which could be clearly distinguished from other regions of the callus (Fig.1d). PT and PT–SH could be easily detached from the explant (Fig.1c). SEM observations revealed that the PT are covered with more or less closely attached cells and a membranous layer (Fig....
Under severe climate change, a large decrease in land use area is projected for the Hawke’s Bay, which is the main apple-growing area of New Zealand. This is partially offset by increases in the South Island regions of Canterbury and Otago. The net effect is a projected decline of 300 ...
Class 1 “Hayward” kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosavar.deliciosa) grown and packed by the Jade Quality growing orchard in Northeast Victoria, Australia (390 Whorouly Bowmans Road Australia, Bowmans Forest, VIC 3735, Australia); Class 1 “Zesy002” marketed as “Zespri®SunGold” kiwifruit (Actin...
The model outputs not only highlight regions with optimal growing conditions for a certain crop, but also delineate and rank other regions with lesser suitability. The scores for the individual suitability criteria can then help to identify which measures, or management practices, would be required ...
