The Lineage-Specific Evolution of Aquaporin Gene Clusters Facilitated Tetrapod Terrestrial Adaptation
(PLoS ONE, 2014-11-26)A major physiological barrier for aquatic organisms adapting to terrestrial life is dessication in the aerial environment. This barrier was nevertheless overcome by the Devonian ancestors of extant ... -
The main drivers of methane emissions differ in the growing and flooded fallow seasons in Mediterranean rice fields
(Plant and Soil, 2021-01-09)Purpose To assess 1) the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions –GHG- and global warming potential (methane – CH4- and nitrous oxide) from rice fields in the growing and fallow seasons, and 2) the ... -
The Metallotolerance and Biosorption of As(V) and Cr(VI) by Black Fungi
(Journal of Fungi, 2024-01-05)A collection of 34 melanized fungi isolated previously from anthropogenic contaminated sites were assessed for their tolerance to toxic concentrations of As(V) and Cr(VI) anions. Three strains of the ... -
The multi-site PeachRefPop collection: a true cultural heritage and international scientific tool for fruit trees
(Plant Physiology, 2020-07-29)Plants have evolved a range of adaptive mechanisms that adjust their development and physiology to variable external conditions, particularly in perennial species subjected to long-term interplay with ... -
The new emerging ovine pestivirus can infect pigs and confers strong protection against classical swine fever virus
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2021-04-25)Several emerging pestiviruses have been reported lately, some of which have proved to cause disease. Recently, a new ovine pestivirus (OVPV), isolated from aborted lambs, with high genetic identity to ... -
The nutritional quality of wholegrain and multigrain breads is not necessarily better than white breads: the case of gluten-free and gluten-containing breads
(International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, 2022-06-13)Despite the importance of breads through the history, the wide range of options might lead to a choice dilemma from health-conscious consumers when purchasing bread. In this study, commercial white, ... -
The onset of piscivory in a freshwater fish species: analysis of behavioural and physiological traits
(Journal of Fish Biology, 2020-03-12)The onset of piscivory in fish, resulting in a shift from zooplankton or invertebrate to fish prey, was studied on pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) larvae displaying and not displaying piscivorous behaviour ... -
The ontogeny of greater amberjack digestive and antioxidant defence systems under different rearing conditions: A histological and enzymatic approach
(Aquaculture Nutrition, 2020-09-23)An overall synchronization of morphological and physiological ontogenetic events of the digestive and antioxidant defence systems occurred in greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) larvae reared under ... -
The Optimal Valine to Lysine Ratio for Performance Parameters in Weaned Piglets
(Animals, 2021-04-27)The optimal digestible (d) Valine (Val) to d Lysine (Lys) ratio (dVal:dLys) in weaned piglets was determined using two different regression models. A total of 200 piglets were allotted to five feeding ... -
The origin of human pathogenicity and biological interactions in Chaetothyriales
(Fungal Diversity, 2023-03-01)Fungi in the order Chaetothyriales are renowned for their ability to cause human infections. Nevertheless, they are not regarded as primary pathogens, but rather as opportunists with a natural habitat ... -
The pH sensitivity of Aqp0 channels in tetraploid and diploid teleosts
(FASEB Journal, 2015-02-09)Water homeostasis and the structural integrity of the vertebrate lens is partially mediated by AQP0 channels. Emerging evidence indicates that external pH may be involved in channel gating. Here we ... -
The PHH-1V HIPRA vaccine: a new tool in the vaccination strategy against COVID-19
