(Biological Control, 2024-02-16)New strategies are urgently needed to control Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), one of the most destructive pests of tomato crops. Originating from South America, it is spreading rapidly ... -
Insight into the truffle brûlé: tripartite interactions between the black truffle (Tuber melanosporum), holm oak (Quercus ilex) and arbuscular mycorrhizal plants
(Plant and Soil, 2019-11-30)Tuber melanosporum is an ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus from Mediterranean transitional ecosystems where ECM trees start to dominate among arbuscular-mycorrhizal (AM) shrubs and herbs (companion plants). ... -
Insights into olive fruit surface functions: A comparison of cuticular composition, water permeability, and surface topography in nine cultivars during maturation
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019-11-19)Olive (Olea europaea L.) growing has outstanding economic relevance in Spain, the main olive oil producer and exporter in the world. Fruit skin properties are very relevant for fruit and oil quality, ... -
Instrumental texture analysis on the surface of dry-cured ham to define the end of the process
(Meat Science, 2020-10-06)The end of the elaboration process of dry-cured ham is currently decided by product weight loss and/or by an expert who carries out an evaluation of the tactile texture on the surface. The objective of ... -
Intact tails as a welfare indicator in finishing pigs? Scoring of tail lesions and defining intact tails in undocked pigs at the abattoir
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020-07-16)Tail biting lesions are a potential measure of on-farm animal welfare, as a large range of stressors increase the risk for tail biting outbreaks. Further, tail biting is a major challenge, as lesions ... -
Integral procedure to predict bitter pit in ‘Golden Smoothee’ apples based on calcium content and symptom induction
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2020-11-01)Bitter pit has been described as one of the most important physiological disorders of apple fruit whose symptoms appear late in the season and during storage and which can cause high economic losses. ... -
Integrated pest management of Tuta absoluta: practical implementations across different world regions
(Journal of Pest Science, 2021-10-31)The South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), has invaded most Afro-Eurasian countries, and is threatening worldwide tomato production. Various strategies have ... -
Integrated QTL detection for key breeding traits in multiple peach progenies
(BMC Genomics, 2017-06-06)Background: Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is a major temperate fruit crop with an intense breeding activity.Breeding is facilitated by knowledge of the inheritance of the key traits that are often ... -
Integrating genome-wide co-association and gene expression to identify putative regulators and predictors of feed efficiency in pigs
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019-09-02)Background: Feed efciency (FE) has a major impact on the economic sustainability of pig production. We used a systems‑based approach that integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) co‑association ... -
Integrating spatiotemporal hydrological connectivity into conservation planning to protect temporary rivers
(Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2024-03-25)1. Temporary rivers (TRs) have been largely overlooked in conservation assessments. Because TRs are such dynamic ecosystems, spatial and temporal aspects of their hydrology and ecology need to be taken ... -
