(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 ... -
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 ... -
High moisture extrusion of pea protein isolate to mimic chicken texture: Instrumental and sensory insights
(Food Hydrocolloids, 2024-04-25)High moisture extrusion processing (HMEP) is gaining attention in the plant-based food industry to obtain meat-like textures from different vegetal protein sources. The aim of this study was to evaluate ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of alternative methods of tunnel composting (submitted by the European Composting Network) II
(EFSA Journal, 2024-04-26)Two alternative methods for producing compost in a tunnel, from certain category (Cat.) 3 animal by-products (ABP) and other non-ABP material, were assessed. The first method proposed a minimum temperature ... -
Elucidating the Onset of Cross-Protective Immunity after Intranasal Vaccination with the Attenuated African Swine Fever Vaccine Candidate BA71ΔCD2
(Vaccines, 2024-05-09)African swine fever (ASF) is a deadly disease of swine currently causing a worldwide pandemic, leading to severe economic consequences for the porcine industry. The control of disease spread is hampered ... -
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 ... -
The Gamma concept approach as a tool to predict fresh produce supporting or not the growth of L. monocytogenes
(Food Microbiology, 2024-04-27)Challenge tests are commonly employed to evaluate the growth behavior of L. monocytogenes in food matrices; they are known for being expensive and time-consuming. An alternative could be the use of ... -
