Functional and association studies on the pig HMGCR gene, a cholesterol-synthesis limiting enzyme
(Animal, 2009-10-23)The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. We have studied the role of the HMGCR gene in pig lipid metabolism by means of ... -
Spray Dried Animal Plasma as an Alternative to Antibiotics in Weanling Pigs
(Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2010-01-01)Piglet health at weaning is compromised due to several stress factors. Following the ban of antibiotic growth promoters new alternatives are required to control these problems. This paper reviews the ... -
The zebrafish genome encodes the largest vertebrate repertoire of functional aquaporins with dual paralogy and substrate specificities similar to mammals
(BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010-02-11)Background: Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across cell membranes. These proteins are vital for maintaining water homeostasis in living ... -
Seasonal changes of whole root system conductance by a drought-tolerant grape root system
(Journal of Experimental Botany, 2010-09-17)The role of root systems in drought tolerance is a subject of very limited information compared with above-ground responses. Adjustments to the ability of roots to supply water relative to shoot ... -
The genome of woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca)
(Nature Genetics, 2010-12-26)The woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca (2n = 2x = 14), is a versatile experimental plant system. This diminutive herbaceous perennial has a small genome (240 Mb), is amenable to genetic transformat ... -
Mediterranean clonal selections evaluated for modern hedgerow olive oil production in Spain
(California Agriculture, 2011-01-01)Traditional olive oil production is limited by its high cost, mainly due to labor expenses for harvesting and pruning. A new olive planting system based on hedgerows and harvesting machines could ... -
Comparative analysis of rosaceous genomes and the reconstruction of a putative ancestral genome for the family
(BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2011-01-12)Background: Comparative genome mapping studies in Rosaceae have been conducted until now by aligning genetic maps within the same genus, or closely related genera and using a limited number of common ... -
Cytokine profiles and phenotype regulation of antigen presenting cells by genotype-I porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus isolates
(Veterinary Research, 2011-01-18)The present study examined the immunological response of antigen presenting cells (APC) to genotype-I isolates of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection by analysing the ... -
Pathogenesis and transmissibility of highly (H7N1) and low (H7N9) pathogenic avian influenza virus infection in red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa)
(Veterinary Research, 2011-02-07)An experimental infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) and low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) was carried out in red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa) in order to ... -
Coordinated gene expression during gilthead sea bream skeletogenesis and its disruption by nutritional hypervitaminosis A
(BMC Developmental Biology, 2011-02-09)Background: Vitamin A (VA) has a key role in vertebrate morphogenesis, determining body patterning and growth through the control of cell proliferation and differentiation processes. VA regulates primary ... -
Perceived quality in fresh peaches: an approach through structural equation modeling
(Ciencia e investigacíón agraria, 2011-02-28)The quality requirements that consumers consider in their decision to purchase fresh fruit have garnered a great deal of attention from the actors in the fresh fruit productivity chain. This study ... -
Gene and QTL detection in a three-way barley cross under selection by a mixed model with kinship information using SNPs
(Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2011-03-04)Quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection is commonly performed by analysis of designed segregating populations derived from two inbred parental lines, where absence of selection, mutation and genetic ... -
California perennial grasses are physiologically distinct from both Mediterranean annual and perennial grasses
(Plant and Soil, 2011-03-05)In the Central Valley of California, native perennial grass species have been largely replaced by Eurasian annual species, while in many parts of the Mediterranean Basin native perennial grasses ... -
Identification of European species of Maja (Decapoda: Brachyura: Majidae): RFLP analyses of COI mtDNA and morphological considerations
