Expression QTL (eQTLs) Analyses Reveal Candidate Genes Associated With Fruit Flesh Softening Rate in Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-03)
Significant differences in softening rate have been reported between melting flesh in peach and nectarine varieties. This trait seems to be controlled by several genes. We aimed to identify candidate ...
Differential irrigation scheduling by an automated algorithm of water balance tuned by capacitance-type soil moisture sensors
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-11-07)
Automated software tools are required to undertake the routine tasks and decision-making involved in scheduling irrigation. A key issue in this topic is how to integrate sensors in the scheduling approach. ...
Sequencing of Tuta absoluta genome to develop SNP genotyping assays for species identification
(Springer Verlag, 2019-04-11)
Tuta absoluta is one of the most devastating pests of fresh market and processing tomatoes. Native to South America, its detection was confined to that continent until 2006 when it was identified in ...
Biochemical and genetic implications of the slow ripening phenotype in peach fruit
(Elsevier, 2019-09-14)
The peach [Prunus persica L. (Batsch)] slow ripening (SR) trait is a mutation preventing the normal fruit ripening process. It is determined by a single Mendelian gene (Sr/sr) located on linkage group ...
Influence of pulsed electric fields processing on the bioaccessible and non-bioaccessible fractions of apple phenolic compounds
(Elsevier, 2019-05-30)
Pulsed electric fields (PEF) are known to influence the chemical and microstructural factors governing apple phenolic compounds fate upon digestion. However, the effect of PEF on fruit phenolic compounds ...
Detection of isothermally amplified ostreid herpesvirus 1 DNA in Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) using a miniaturised electrochemical biosensor
(Elsevier, 2019-09-02)
Given the threat that ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) poses to shellfish aquaculture, the need for rapid, user-friendly and cost-effective methods to detect this marine pathogen and minimise its impact ...
Using 19% of alfalfa hay in beef feedlot finishing diets did not modify meat quality but increased feed intake and ADG
(Oxford University Press, 2019-02-06)
To evaluate the effects of including extra alfalfa hay in high concentrate diets fed to beef heifers on intake, average daily gain (ADG), gain to feed ratio (G:F), and carcass and meat quality, we used ...
Age-Related Serum Biochemical Reference Intervals Established for Unweaned Calves and Piglets in the Post-weaning Period
(Frontiers Media, 2019-04-24)
The purpose of the present study is to establish the influence of age on serum biochemistry reference intervals (RIs) for unweaned calves and recently-weaned piglets using large number of animals sampled ...
Hydropeaking effects on movement patterns of brown trout (Salmo trutta L.)
(Wiley, 2019-04-23)
Radiotelemetry was used to investigate seasonal movement and home range of brown trout Salmo trutta (size range 188–420 mm fork length, N = 30) in two reaches of the Noguera Pallaresa River (Ebro Basin, ...
Serological and molecular surveys of influenza A viruses in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic wild birds
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-12-03)
To evaluate how avian influenza virus (AIV) circulates among the avifauna of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands, we surveyed 14 species of birds from Marion, Livingston and Gough islands. A competitive ...
