Soil compaction is a great problem since it affects crop growth and yield. The causes of soil compaction are the management practices in agricultural production. A common practice is to implement subsoiling at a few centimeters below the hardpan. Management practices, field traffic, and variations of the soil?s physical and chemical properties throughout the field cause variations in the soil compaction degree and depth. Subsoiling at certain depths can cause excessive energy consumption at a high cost. Therefore, agricultural tillage equipment could be improved by varying the tillage depth. Soil strength is the main indicator that depends on several soil …

Identification And Validation Of Microsatellite Markers In Strawberry Tree(Arbutus Unedo L.), Pedro Fazenda, Ricardo Pereira, Maria Fonseca, Jorge Carlier, José Leitão
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.), an evergreen shrub/small tree of the family Ericaceae, is a main constituent of the Mediterranean basin flora; although it is also found in southwestern France, Macaronesia, and Ireland. The small fruits are edible but mostly used for preparation of preserves and jams, and for liquors such as the Portuguese traditional "aguardente de medronho". Traditionally cultivated by small farmers, often in consociation with Quercus sp., strawberry tree is presently emerging as a new important fruit crop cultivated in large orchards by modern export-oriented enterprises. This change of paradigm requires a growing role of plant breeding, upstream …
Diversity Of Avocado (Persea Americana Mill.) Cultivars From Antioquia (Northeastcolombia) And Comparison With A Worldwide Germplasm Collection, Gloria Patricia Cañas-Gutiérrez, Librada Alcaraz, Jose Ignacio Hormaza, Rafael Eduardo Arango- Isaza, Clara Inés Saldamando-Benjumea
Diversity Of Avocado (Persea Americana Mill.) Cultivars From Antioquia (Northeastcolombia) And Comparison With A Worldwide Germplasm Collection, Gloria Patricia Cañas-Gutiérrez, Librada Alcaraz, Jose Ignacio Hormaza, Rafael Eduardo Arango- Isaza, Clara Inés Saldamando-Benjumea
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In this study, the genetic diversity of 90 avocado (Persea americana Mill) cultivars from Antioquia (Colombia) was compared to 67 germplasm collection accessions using 14 microsatellites. An average of 4.32 ± 2.0 alleles per locus was found, as observed in previous studies. The expected and observed heterozygosity ranges were 0.384-0.724 and 0.393-0.686, respectively. The Antioquian avocados were genetically structured according to an analysis of molecular variance test (fixation index (FST) = 0.054, P < 0.00001). An unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrogram with FST paired data produced 2 clusters: one composed by Antioquian avocados and the other by the germplasm collection. Another UPGMA dendrogram with individual Nei-Li distances and additional STRUCTURE analysis separated the Antioquian avocados into 3 clusters (K = 3). Combining samples from the Colombian and germplasm collections produced K = 2. Genetic differentiations between the Antioquian and worldwide avocado germplasm collection could be due to crosses within the Antioquian avocados having been enhanced by insect pollinators, whereas avocados stored in the germplasm collection were constituted by cultivars with known genetic origins. Findings from this study demonstrated that criollo avocado genetics are unique in Antioquia, since the species has been naturally crossed in the field and its closest accession is from Guatemala. Nevertheless, it is important to continue genotyping this species in other locations in Colombia from Sylvester and cultivar populations of this crop to determine its origin.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A series of novel halogenated 3-hydroxyflavones (3HFs) were prepared by reacting halogenated hydroxyacetophenones with the appropriate aromatic aldehyde. Glycosylation of 3HFs with acetobromoglucose and deprotection of the acetyl protective groups afforded the desired 3-$O$-flavonoids glycosides in satisfactory yields. All the prepared compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activity against HCT-116, MCF-7, and OVCAR-3 human cancer cell lines. The 3HFs exhibited higher cytotoxic activities compared with the glycosylated flavonoids. Overall, the structure-activity relationship study showed that the introduction of glycoside moiety at the C-3 OH position does not improve the bioactivity.
