Infection risk of Monilinia fructicola on stone fruit during cold storage and immersion in the dump tank
(Elsevier, 2019-06-28)
Monilinia spp. is the main pathogen responsible for postharvest losses of stone fruit. Several studies have examined the conditions for Monilinia spp. infection in the field, but very limited information ...
Salmonella control in poultry flocks and its public health impact
(EFSA Journal, 2019-02-19)
An increase in confirmed human salmonellosis cases in the EU after 2014 triggered investigation of contributory factors and control options in poultry production. Reconsideration of the five current ...
Linking stress coping styles with brain mRNA abundance of selected transcripts for Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) juveniles
(Elsevier, 2019-11-01)
In fish, proactive and reactive individual stress copying styles (SCS) have been used to resolve variation in molecular expression data. Stress coping styles have been previously described in several ...
Development of a modified plug-flow anaerobic digester for biogas production from animal manures
(MDPI, 2019-07-08)
Traditional plug-flow anaerobic reactors (PFRs) are characterized by lacking a mixing system and operating at high total solid concentrations, which limits their applicability for several kinds of ...
Using forced regrowth to manipulate Chardonnay grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) development to evaluate phenological stage responses to temperature
(Elsevier, 2019-12-06)
Time and environmental conditions, such as temperature and photoperiod, are the main drivers governing grapevine development over the growing season. The most obvious growth periods in grapevines are ...
Post-Harvest Regulated Deficit Irrigation in Chardonnay Did Not Reduce Yield but at Long-Term, It Could Affect Berry Composition
(MDPI, 2019-06-20)
Future increases in temperatures are expected to advance grapevine phenology and
shift ripening to warmer months, leaving a longer post-harvest period with warmer temperatures.
Accumulation of ...
Effect of N dose, fertilisation duration and application of a nitrification inhibitor on GHG emissions from a peach orchard
(Elsevier, 2019-08-23)
Despite only occupying 5% of the worldwide arable area, fruit tree crops are of vital economic importance in many regions. Intensive cropping practices can lead to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In ...
Detection of homozygous genotypes for a putatively lethal recessive mutation in the porcine argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) gene
(Wiley, 2019-11-15)
The sequencing of the pig genome revealed the existence of homozygous individuals for a nonsense mutation in the argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) gene (rs81212146, c.944T>A, L315X). Paradoxically, ...
Comparative analysis of the fecal microbiota from different species of domesticated and wild suids
(Nature Research, 2019-09-20)
Most of the microorganisms living in a symbiotic relationship in different animal body sites (microbiota) reside in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Several studies have shown that the microbiota is ...
A rapid cleaning method for diatoms
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-18)
We describe here a protocol for cleaning diatoms when time is short and the amount of
sample is very limited. Essentially, the method consists of drying material onto coverslips and
cleaning it directly ...
