Tipburn Resilience in Lettuce (Lactuca spp.) - The Importance of Germplasm Resources and Production System-Specific Assays.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of the science of food and agriculture"
DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.12523
Abstract: BACKGROUND Tipburn is a physiological disorder of lettuce (Lactuca spp.) that causes discolouration and collapse of leaf margins, leading to unsaleable crops in both protected (glasshouse, hydroponic) and outdoor production systems. The occurrence of tipburn… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00705-018-3858-y
Abstract: Double-stranded RNAs purified from cultivated (Lactuca sativa) or wild (L. serriola) lettuce from southwest France were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. For both samples, BLAST annotation revealed contigs with homology to Betaflexiviridae family members. The full… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10327-018-0816-1
Abstract: Iturin A and surfactin are antimicrobial cyclic lipopeptides secreted by antagonistic Bacillus strains, and both elicit defence gene expression in host plants. We previously showed that a soil amendment with either of the purified lipopeptides… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10725-025-01291-w
Abstract: Volatile organic compounds of plant origin can be used to develop biostimulants and plant-growth regulators. While screening volatile compounds from several plant species, safranal (2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexa-1,3-diene-1-carbaldehyde), an apocarotenoid produced by saffron (Crocus sativus L.), effectively enhanced… read more here.
