The volume is a comprehensive resource for researchers, scholars, and enthusiasts in the field of pomegranate research. It delves into various aspects of the pomegranate crop, providing an extensive coverage of its botany, taxonomy, germplasm conservation and utilization, genome, and functional genomics. The work provides a detailed understanding of the pomegranate's genetic makeup and its potential applications. The research presented in the book focuses on the identification and analysis of key genes and gene families of pomegranates, and sheds light on their functions and contributions to the plant's growth and development. By uncovering these genetic insights, researchers can further exp...
Abiotic stress represents the main constraint for agriculture, affecting plant growth and productivity worldwide. Yield losses in agriculture will be potentiated in the future by global warming, increasing contamination, and reduced availability of fertile land. The challenge for agriculture of the present and future is that of increasing the food supply for a continuously growing human population under environmental conditions that are deteriorating in many areas of the world. Minimizing the effects of diverse types of abiotic stresses represents a matter of general concern. Research on all topics related to abiotic stress tolerance, from understanding the stress response mechanisms of plan...

Il volume raccoglie gli interventi che hanno animato il convegno dedicato al sinologo e diplomatico Giuliano Bertuccioli, tenutosi nel maggio del 2022 presso il Dipartimento Istituto Italiano di Studi Orientali di Sapienza Università di Roma, intitolato “Giuliano Bertuccioli: una vita tra diplomazia e sinologia”. Il simposio ha riunito varie persone che, per diverse ragioni, hanno conosciuto e lavorato con Giuliano Bertuccioli. Da qui è nata la divisione tematica del volume – ‘diplomatico’ e ‘sinologo’ – che rappresenta le due anime e le due vite di Bertuccioli: una dedicata alla carriera diplomatica, dal primo avventuroso viaggio in Cina nel 1946 agli incarichi a Tokyo, Se...
This Special Issue of Horticulturae presents ten studies on pomegranate, covering genetics, physiology, disease resistance, postharvest treatment, and cultivar phenotyping. These studies provide insights to advance breeding, quality enhancement, and cultivation practices, addressing the rising interest in this fruit. Genetics is a key focus, with research being conducted on the anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) gene family for pigmentation, R2R3-MYB transcription factors affecting flavonoid biosynthesis, and expansin genes influencing fruit texture. Together, these findings support breeding for improved nutritional and esthetic traits. Additionally, studies on the UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) an...
The most comprehensive and authoritative representation in English of the remarkable Shen Congwen canon, ranging from the polished stories that made him a serious contender for the Nobel literary prize in the 1980s to lesser known, extravagant experimental pieces.
