cmv1 is a gate for Cucumber mosaic virus transport from bundle sheath cells to phloem in melon
(Molecular Plant Pathology, 2015-12-09)Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) has the broadest host range among plant viruses, causing enormous losses in agriculture. In melon, strains of subgroup II are unable to establish a systemic infection in the ... -
Airborne Thermal Imagery to Detect the Seasonal Evolution of Crop Water Status in Peach, Nectarine and Saturn Peach Orchards
(Remote Sensing, 2016-01-05)In the current scenario of worldwide limited water supplies, conserving water is a major concern in agricultural areas. Characterizing within-orchard spatial heterogeneity in water requirements would ... -
Crossbreeding effects on rabbit reproduction from four maternal lines of rabbits
(Animal, 2016-01-07)Litter size is essential for an efficient production of rabbit meat. A diallel cross between four maternal lines was carried out and the analysis of the components of litter size has been already done. ... -
Predation by Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) on Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera: Aphididae): Influence of prey age/size and predator’s intraspecific interactions
(European Journal of Entomology, 2016-01-08)Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) is an important predator of pests of horticultural crops and here its ability as a predator of Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is addressed for the ... -
Consistent habitat segregation between sexes in the spider crabs Maja brachydactyla and Maja squinado(Brachyura), as revealed by stable isotopes
(Scientia Marina, 2016-01-20)Differences in the resource use patterns of males and females of the spider crab species Maja brachydactylaBalss, 1922 and M. squinado (Herbst, 1788) from several geographic areas (three ... -
Changes in durum wheat root and aerial biomass caused by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation
(Plant and Soil, 2016-01-27)Aims This study aimed to quantify the changes in root and aerial biomass of durum wheat brought about by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation. Methods A ... -
Meta‐analysis approach to the effects of live prey on the growth of Octopus vulgaris paralarvae under culture conditions
(Reviews in Aquaculture, 2016-02-14)The common octopus (Octopus vulgaris, Cuvier 1797) is a promising species for aquaculture diversification, but the massive mortality during the first life stage is the main bottleneck for its commercial ... -
