(Meat Science, 2013-05-20)There are increasing concerns of society towards the consumption of animal products which have been produced and transformed in a sustainable manner. This trend influences consumer purchasing decision ... -
Evaluation of potential nirs to predict pastures nutritive value
(Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2013-05-22)This paper describes the capability of near infra-reflectance (NIRS) to predict the nutritional quality of pastures from southern Chile (39°-40°S). A Fourier transformed near-infrared (FT-NIR) method ... -
A Rapid Transcriptome Response Is Associated with Desiccation Resistance in Aerially-Exposed Killifish Embryos
(PLoS ONE, 2013-05-31)Delayed hatching is a form of dormancy evolved in some amphibian and fish embryos to cope with environmental conditions transiently hostile to the survival of hatchlings or larvae. While diapause and ... -
Selection of Internal Control Genes for Real-Time Quantitative PCR in Ovary and Uterus of Sows across Pregnancy
(PLoS ONE, 2013-06-13)Background: Reproductive traits play a key role in pig production in order to reduce costs and increase economic returns. Among others, gene expression analyses represent a useful approach to study ... -
Transcriptional Characterization of Porcine Leptin and Leptin Receptor Genes
(PLoS ONE, 2013-06-18)The leptin (LEP) and its receptor (LEPR) regulate food intake and energy balance through hypothalamic signaling. However, the LEP-LEPR axis seems to be more complex and its expression regulation has not ... -
Breeding programmes to improve male reproductive performance and efficiency of insemination dose production in paternal lines: feasibility and limitations
(World Rabbit Science, 2013-06-26)This paper reviews the current genetic knowledge on issues related with the efficient use of bucks in artificial insemination (AI). Differences between lines have been found to be relevant in semen ... -
Plant Growth Stimulation and Root Colonization Potential of In Vivo versus In Vitro Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Inocula
(HortScience, 2013-07)Inoculum of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, with growing use in horticulture, is produced mainly in two technically different cultivation systems: in vivo culture in symbiosis with living host plants ... -
Effect of different fertilization strategies on nitrogen balance in an outdoor potted crop of Osteospermum ecklonis (DC.) Norl. ‘Purple Red’ under Mediterranean climate conditions
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2013-07-15)Fertilization management and meteorological conditions can affect leachate composition and the balance of nitrogen (N) added during the cultivation of ornamentals. The main objectives of this study ... -
Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Dietary-Induced Pseudo-Albinism during Post-Embryonic Development of Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858)
(PLoS ONE, 2013-07-16)The appearance of the pseudo-albino phenotype was investigated in developing Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis, Kaup 1858) larvae at morphological and molecular levels. In order to induce the development ... -
Effect of production system before the finishing period on carcass, meat and fat qualities of beef
(Animal, 2013-08-01)Twenty Gascon young bulls that had been reared either in intensive conditions (INT) (n = 10) with early weaning at 3 to 4 months, or in a traditional extensive (EXT) system (n = 10) with weaning at 7 ... -
Peach genetic resources: diversity, population structure and linkage disequilibrium
(BMC Genetics, 2013-09-16)Background: Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is one of the most important model fruits in the Rosaceae family. Native to the west of China, where peach has been domesticated for more than 4,000 years, ... -
Variability-specific differential gene expression across reproductive stages in sows
(Animal, 2013-10-11)Differential gene expression analyses typically focus on departures across mathematical expectations (i.e. mean) from two or more groups of microarrays, without considering alternative patterns of ... -
A Roadmap for Hazard Monitoring and Risk Assessment of Marine Biotoxins on the Basis of Chemical and Biological Test Systems
(ALTEX - Alternatives to Animal Experimentation, 2013-11-01)Aquatic food accounts for over 40% of global animal food products, and the potential contamination with toxins of algal origin – marine biotoxins – poses a health threat for consumers. The gold standards ... -
Direct and reverse pollen-mediated gene flow between GM rice and red rice weed
