Labeling of Monilinia fructicola with GFP and Its Validation for Studies on Host-Pathogen Interactions in Stone and Pome Fruit
(MDPI, 2019-12-11)
To compare in vivo the infection process of Monilinia fructicola on nectarines and apples
using confocal microscopy it is necessary to transform a pathogenic strain with a construct expressing
a ...
Exploring sources of resistance to brown rot in an interspecific almond × peach population
(Wiley, 2019-02-19)
BACKGROUND: Monilinia spp. are responsible for brown rot, one of the most significant stone fruit diseases. Planting resistant cultivars seems a promising alternative, although most commercial cultivars ...
Characterization of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strains in vaccinated and non-vaccinated pigs from Spanish slaughterhouses
(Elsevier, 2019-02-20)
This study aimed to describe Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) genetic variability in vaccinated (V) and non-vaccinated (NV) slaughtered pigs showing cranio-ventral pulmonary consolidation ...
Evaluation of chemical fruit thinning efficiency using Brevis® (Metamitron) on apple trees (‘Gala’) under Spanish conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-11-15)
Thinning is an important technique in apple growing which is used to reduce the number of fruits per plant and achieve commercial fruit size and quality. The objective of this work was to evaluate the ...
Usefulness of Eurasian Magpies (Pica pica) for West Nile virus Surveillance in Non-Endemic and Endemic Situations
(MDPI, 2019-08-05)
In September 2017, passive surveillance allowed the detection of West Nile virus (WNV)
lineage 2 for the first time in northern Spain in a northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis). However,
a cross ...
Discovery and annotation of novel microRNAs in the porcine genome by using a semi-supervised transductive learning approach
(Elsevier, 2019-12-06)
Despite the broad variety of available microRNA (miRNA) prediction tools, their application to the discovery and annotation of novel miRNA genes in domestic species is still limited. In this study we ...
A comprehensive genome variation map of melon identifies multiple domestication events and loci influencing agronomic traits
(Nature Research, 2019-11-01)
Melon is an economically important fruit crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years; however, the genetic basis and
history of its domestication still remain largely unknown. Here we report ...
Insights into olive fruit surface functions: A comparison of cuticular composition, water permeability, and surface topography in nine cultivars during maturation
(Frontiers Media, 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, ...
Predictive score and probability of CTX-like toxicity in fish samples from the official control of ciguatera in the Canary Islands
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)
This research identifies factors associated with the contamination by ciguatoxins (CTXs) in a population of fish and proposes a predictive score of the presence of CTX-like toxicity in amberjack samples ...
Shelf‐life extension of multi‐vegetables smoothies by high pressure processing compared with thermal treatment. Part II: Retention of selected nutrients and sensory quality
(Wiley, 2019-10-01)
Consumers are increasingly demanding food products based on minimally processed fruit and vegetables (Part I), which are associated with “fresh‐like” qualities and convenience. Smoothies may well fit ...
