Floricultural supply chain network design and control: industry needs and modelling challenges

The floricultural sector is facing market developments that have forced a redesign of the European logistics network. Via workshops and interviews with key stakeholders the main developments and industry needs are identified. These are then summarised in three central themes that require further investigation, i.e. decision problems (e.g. network design and control), context factors (e.g. deman...

The Importance of Mucus Production in Slugs’ Reaction to Molluscicides and the Impact of Molluscicides on the Mucus Producing System

In Deroceras reticulatum, mucus cell ultrastructure and the histochemistry of the epidermis and the digestive tract epithelia were shown to be influenced by carbamate and metaldehyde, two molluscicides used as both contact and oral toxins. After carbamate poisoning mucus production is increased and the chemical composition of the slime is modified. Ultrastructural damage is less intense than af...

Molecular Genetic Characterization of New Floricultural Germplasm

Understanding the genetics of floricultural germplasm represents a valueadded component of managing collections. Molecular approaches collectively represent a potential goldmine of important information that can be applied to programs of genetic improvement. In fact, they can be applied to almost every component of a unified germplasm program. The use of molecular markers for genetic diversity ...
