Distribution of crown hexameric procyanidin and its tetrameric and pentameric congeners in red and white wines
(2019)Nineteen red and white wines were screened for the presence of crown (oligomeric cyclic) procyanidins with 4, 5 or 6 (epi)catechin monomers by means of HPLC-HRMS/MS. For the first time, the distribution of crown procyanidins ... -
Control of the grapevine moth Lobesia botrana through genetic engineering manipulation of host-plant volatiles
(2019)The European grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana, is one of the most important pests of grape. Feeding activity by caterpillars leads to direct damage to reproductive plant tissues (flower buds and berries), and also to indirect ... -
Building Integrating Phase Change Materials: A Dynamic Hygrothermal Simulation Model for System Analysis
(2019)Phase change materials are considered a very promising technology to reduce energy consumption for space heating and cooling purposes in buildings. In this framework, this paper presents a comprehensive energy performance ... -
Ecophysiological Responses to Rainfall Variability in Grassland and Forests Along a Latitudinal Gradient in Italy
(2019)In the Mediterranean region, ecosystems are severely affected by climate variability. The Italian Peninsula is a hot spot for biodiversity thanks to its heterogeneous landscape and the Mediterranean, Continental, and Alpine ... -
Host plant-related genomic differentiation in the European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi
(2019)Elucidating the mechanisms and conditions facilitating the formation of biodiversity are central topics in evolutionary biology. A growing number of studies imply that divergent ecological selection may often play a critical ... -
