Most agricultural traits are controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs); however, there are few studies on QTL mapping of horticultural traits in pepper (Capsicum spp.) due to the lack of high-density molecular maps and the sequence information. In this study, an ultra-high-density map and 120 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between C. annuum'Perennial' and C. annuum'Demp...

A study examining correlations between fruit trees physiological and visual properties collected by remote sensing technology started at Budapest University of Economic Sciences and Public Administration, Faculty of Horticultural Science, together with Kyoto University and Wakayama Research Center of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Fruit Tree Experiment Station (Japan). Experimental plant ...

One of the issues concerning the replacement of natural gas by green gas is the seasonal pattern of the gas demand. When constant production is assumed, this may limit the injected quantity of green gas into a gas grid to the level of the minimum gas demand in summer. A procedure was proposed to increase the gas demand coverage in a geographical region, i.e., the extent to which natural gas dem...
