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 ... -
The genetic variation landscape of African swine fever virus reveals frequent positive selection and adaptive flexibility
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2021-03-09)African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a lethal disease agent that causes high mortality in swine population and devastating loss in swine industries. The development of efficacious vaccines has been ... -
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 grape remote sensing atmospheric profile and evapotranspiration experiment
(Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2018-10-09)Particularly in light of California’s recent multiyear drought, there is a critical need for accurate and timely evapotranspiration (ET) and crop stress information to ensure long-term sustainability ... -
The growth promoting and immunomodulatory effects of a medicinal plant leaf extract obtained from Salvia officinalis and Lippia citriodora in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
(Aquaculture, 2020-03-29)In the present study, we evaluated the effects of a medicinal plant leaf extract (MPLE; 10%, ursolic acid, 3% other triterpenic compounds; 2% verbascoside and < 1% polyphenols) obtained from Lippia ... -
The gut microbiota of Cystidicola farionis parasitizing the swim bladder of the nosed charr morph Salvelinus malma complex in Lake Kronotskoe (Kamchatka, Russia)
(Journal of Nematology, 2021-12-15)Using the approach of sequencing the V3–V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, we have analyzed the bacterial diversity associated with the gut and “body” (other parts of nematode after dissection: cuticle, ... -
The haplotype-resolved T2T reference genome highlights structural variation underlying agronomic traits of melon
(Horticulture Research, 2023-09-04)Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important vegetable crop that has an extensive history of cultivation. However, the genome of wild and semi-wild melon types that can be used for the analysis of agronomic ... -
The high-quality draft genome of peach (Prunus persica) identifies unique patterns of genetic diversity, domestication and genome evolution
(Nature Genetics, 2013-03-24)Rosaceae is the most important fruit-producing clade, and its key commercially relevant genera (Fragaria, Rosa, Rubus and Prunus) show broadly diverse growth habits, fruit types and compact diploid g ... -
The Identification of Runs of Homozygosity Gives a Focus on the Genetic Diversity and Adaptation of the “Charolais de Cuba” Cattle
(Animals, 2020-11-27)Inbreeding and effective population size (Ne) are fundamental indicators for the management and conservation of genetic diversity in populations. Genomic inbreeding gives accurate estimates of inbreeding, ... -
The immune response does not prevent homologous Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus reinfection five months after the initial challenge
