The potential of alternative seed treatments to control anthracnose disease in white lupin
(Crop Protection, 2022-04-28)White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is a promising crop to meet the rising global demand for plant-based protein. The seed-borne pathogen Colletotrichum lupini, however, threatens lupin cultivation worldwide. ... -
The potential of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) of natural samples as a source of primary taxonomic information for reference libraries of diatom barcodes
(Fottea, 2018-02-27)Diatoms are used routinely to assess pollution level in rivers and lakes. Current methods are based on identification by light microscopy, which is laborious. An alternative is to identify species based ... -
The Potential of Metalloproteinase-9 Administration to Accelerate Mammary Involution and Boost the Immune System at Dry-Off
(Animals, 2021-11-30)The dry period is decisive for the milking performance of dairy cows. The promptness of mammary gland involution at dry-off affects not only the productivity in the next lactation, but also the risk ... -
The presence of Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) (Araneae: Pisauridae) in the Ebro Delta extends its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula southwards
(Limnetica, 2022)The presence of Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) (Araneae: Pisauridae) in the Ebro Delta extends its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula southwards. The rare Dolomedes plantarius has been observed ... -
The presence of wild Senegalese sole breeders improves courtship and reproductive success in cultured conspecifics
(Aquaculture, 2020-01-03)The life cycle of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) is not closed in captivity due to a reproductive dysfunction related to the lack of participation of cultured male breeders in the courtship. To ... -
The productive efficiency of organic farming: the case of grape sector in Catalonia
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2012-06-07)Knowledge about productivity and efficiency differences between conventional and organic farms has important implications for the evaluation of the economic viability of these two agricultural practices. ... -
The public health risk posed by Listeria monocytogenes in frozen fruit and vegetables including herbs, blanched during processing
(EFSA Journal, 2020-04-20)A multi‐country outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes ST6 linked to blanched frozen vegetables (bfV) took place in the EU (2015–2018). Evidence of food‐borne outbreaks shows that L. monocytogenes is the ... -
The Pupal Parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae Is Attracted to the Same Yeast Volatiles as Its Adult Host
(Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2021-07-16)There is increasing evidence that microorganisms, particularly fungi and bacteria, emit volatile compounds that mediate the foraging behaviour of insects and therefore have the potential to affect key ... -
The relationship between ethylene- and oxidative-related markers at harvest with the susceptibility of pears to develop superficial scald
(Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2020-01-28)To better understand the specific biochemical pathways involved in superficial scald susceptibility, changes in ethylene biosynthesis, antioxidant, oxidative related processes and sugar metabolism were ... -
The relationship between feed efficiency and behaviour differs between lactating Holstein and Jersey cows
(Journal of Dairy Research, 2023-08-24)In dairy production, high feed efficiency (FE) is important to reduce feed costs and negative impacts of milk production on the climate and environment, yet little is known about the relationship between ... -
