Zinc Biofortification in Vitis vinifera: Implications for Quality and Wine Prod...
Daccak, Diana; Lidon, Fernando C.; Luís, Inês Carmo; Marques, Ana Coelho; Coelho, Ana Rita F.; Pessoa, Cláudia Campos; Caleiro, João; Ramalho, José C.Nowadays, there is a growing concern about micronutrient deficits in food products, with agronomic biofortification being considered a mitigation strategy. In this context, as Zn is essential for growth and maintenance of human health, a workflow for the biofortification of grapes from the Vitis vinifera variety Fernão Pires, which contains this nutrient, was carried out considering the soil properties of the v...
Calcium biofortification of Rocha pears, tissues accumulation and physicochemic...
Pessoa, Cláudia Campos; Lidon, Fernando C.; Coelho, Ana Rita; Caleiro, João; Marques, Ana Coelho; Luís, Inês Carmo; Kullberg, José CarlosLow dietary intake of Ca in humans has been epidemiologically linked to various diseases, which can have serious health consequences over time. Accordingly, the development of an agronomic itinerary for Ca biofortification of Rocha pears and the assessment of physicochemical deviations prompted this study. Two orchards with contrasting soil and water characteristics were selected, characterized through orthopho...
Can foliar pulverization with CaCl2 and Ca(NO3)2 trigger Ca enrichment in Solan...
Coelho, Ana Rita F.; Lidon, Fernando C.; Pessoa, Cláudia Campos; Marques, Ana Coelho; Luís, Inês Carmo; Caleiro, João; Simões, Manuela; Kullberg, JoséThis study aimed to assess the efficiency of Ca enrichment in tubers of three genotypes of Solanum tuberosum L., through foliar spraying with CaCl2 and Ca(NO3)2 solutions. In this context, soil heterogeneity of three potato-growing fields, as well as the implications of Ca accumulation among tissues and some quality parameters were assessed. Three potato varieties (Agria, Picasso and Rossi) were grown in three ...
