Intra-specific downsizing of frugivores affects seed germination of fleshy-fruited plant species
(Elsevier, 2017-12-06)
The loss of largest-bodied individuals within species of frugivorous animals is one of the major consequences of defaunation. The gradual disappearance of large-bodied frugivores is expected to entail ...
Management trade‐offs on ecosystem services in apple orchards across Europe: Direct and indirect effects of organic production
(Wiley, 2018-11-12)
Apple is considered the most important fruit crop in temperate areas and profitable production depends on multiple ecosystem services, including the reduction of pest damage and the provision of sufficient ...
Phenotypic and molecular selection of a superior Solanum pennellii introgression sub-line suitable for improving quality traits of cultivated tomatoes
(Frontiers Media, 2019-02-22)
The Solanum pennellii Introgression Line (IL) population can be exploited to identify favorable alleles that can improve yield and fruit quality traits in commercial tomato varieties. Over the past few ...
Effects of thermal and non-thermal processing of cruciferous vegetables on glucosinolates and its derived forms
(Springer, 2018-04-16)
Brassica vegetables, which include broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts, are known for their high glucosinolate content. Glucosinolates and their derived forms namely isothiocyanates are of ...
To what extent is climate change adaptation a novel challenge for agricultural modellers?
(Elsevier, 2019-07-29)
Modelling is key to adapting agriculture to climate change (CC), facilitating evaluation of the impacts and efficacy of adaptation measures, and the design of optimal strategies. Although there are many ...
Effect of sex and RYR1 gene mutation on the muscle proteomic profile and main physiological biomarkers in pigs at slaughter
(Elsevier, 2018-03-27)
Gender and RYR1 gene mutation might have an effect on the muscle metabolic characteristics and on the animal's stress at slaughter, which could influence the process of muscle-to-meat conversion. ...
Ciguatoxin occurrence in food-web components of a Cuban Coral Reef Ecosystem: Risk-assessment implications
(MDPI, 2019-12-11)
In Cuba, ciguatera poisoning associated with fish consumption is the most commonly occurring non-bacterial seafood-borne illness. Risk management through fish market regulation has existed in Cuba for ...
Breeding programmes to improve male reproductive performance and efficiency of insemination dose production in paternal lines: feasibility and limitations
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 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 ...
Effects of insularity on insect leaf herbivory and chemical defences in a Mediterranean oak species
(Wiley, 2019-05-11)
Aim
Research on plant–herbivore interactions has shown that islands typically have low abundances and diversity of herbivores because of barriers to dispersal, isolation and reduced land area. Islands ...
Use of Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization processing in winemaking:Control of microbial populations in grape musts and effects in sensory quality
(Elsevier, 2018-10-06)
Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization (UHPH) is a fast and efficient technique that can sterilizefluid foods at lowtemperatures or even under cooling conditions. A white must (Vitis viniferaL.) was processed ...
