Rooting big and deep rapidly: the ecological roots of pine species distribution in southern Europe
(Trees - Structure and Function, 2018-10-09)Root properties can influence plant drought resistance, and consequently plant species distribution. Root structure strongly varies across biomes partly as a result of phylogeny. However, whether the ... -
Rootstock affects quality and phytochemical composition of 'Big Top' nectarine fruits grown under hot climatic conditions
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2019-06-22)This study aimed to evaluate the stability of ‘Big Top’ nectarine fruit quality (fruit weight, fruit mineral elements and fruit phytochemical composition such as soluble solids content, titratable ... -
ROS-scavenging-associated transcriptional and biochemical shifts during nectarine fruit development and ripening
(Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2021-12-24)ROS are known as toxic by-products but also as important signaling molecules playing a key role in fruit development and ripening. To counteract the negative effects of ROS, plants and fruit own multiple ... -
Rules of thumb to obtain, isolate, and preserve porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2022-07-16)One of the most used biospecimens in immunology are peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). PBMC are particularly useful when evaluating immunity through responses of circulating B- and T-cells, ... -
Ruminant pestiviruses in North Africa
(Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2020-09-23)Ruminant pestiviruses are widely distributed worldwide, causing congenital disease and massive economic losses. Although ruminant production is an important economic sector in North Africa, the knowledge ... -
Rural veterinarian's perception and practices in terms of biosecurity across three European countries
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2017-09-21)The implementation of biosecurity measures in the animal health and production context is quite broad and aims at limiting the risk of introduction and spread of diseases. Veterinarians play a major ... -
Safe food for infants: An EU-China project to enhance the control of safety risks raised by microbial and chemical hazards all along the infant food chains
(Global Pediatrics, 2022-05-02)The EU-project SAFFI targets food for EU's 15 million and China's 45 million children under the age of three. It aims at developing an integrated approach to enhance the identification, assessment, ... -
Safety and Efficacy upon Infection in Sheep with Rift Valley Fever Virus ZH548-rA2, a Triple Mutant Rescued Virus
(Viruses, 2024-01-05)The introduction of three single nucleotide mutations into the genome of the virulent RVFV ZH548 strain allows for the rescue of a fully attenuated virus in mice (ZH548-rA2). These mutations are located ... -
