The storage of green coffee (Coffea arabica): decrease of viability and changes of potential aroma precursors.

abstract：:Production of grain legumes is severely reduced in salt-affected soils because their ability to form and maintain nitrogen-fixing nodules is impaired by both salinity and sodicity (alkalinity). Genotypes of chickpea, Cicer arietinum, with high nodulation capacity under stress were identified by field screening in a so...
