AGR-222 Subtropical and Mediterranean fruit culture

Among the lines of the group, the first one corresponds to the physiology of flowering and fruiting in Mediterranean and subtropical fruit trees. Secondly, the cultivation of fruit trees under shelter. Biovector management in the pollination of horticultural species and fruit trees. The fourth is artificial pollination. Also, the stimulation of fruit ripening and earliness and, finally, controlled deficit irrigation in fruit trees.

The services offered start with the determination of pollination and fertilization levels of flowers, pollen viability and ovule longevity. On the other hand, the analysis of attractiveness for pollination biovectors (nectar, pollen and volatiles).

They also include artificial and biovector pollination in horticultural and fruit species. Another service corresponds to the determination of cell number and size in fruit and response to thinning and other cultivation techniques. Likewise, the monitoring of ripening in grapevines and the determination of optimum dates for harvesting. Finally, varietal identification by microsatellite analysis and in vitro cultivation.
