SOSTINNOVI - Device for detecting grapes phenolic ripeness by smartphone

Are the grapes ripe? Real time analysis in the vineyard

The grape ripening degree at harvest is one of the main factors influencing the quality of wine. The parameters most frequently used to monitor the ripening degree of grapes are sugar content, pH, acidity, and phenolic composition. The latter is...

Development of molecular markers associated with desirable agronomic traits for assisted selection of new processing tomato genotypes

The evolution of agriculture passes through the DNA

Development of a 24 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) markers set for the parallel analyses of multiple of molecular markers associated with earliness and resistance to low temperatures in tomato. SNP-based markers are based on single DNA base...
