Biopreservation of fresh-cut pear using Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and effect on quality and volatile compounds
(Elsevier, 2017-09-18)
In recent years, the consumption of minimally processed fruit has increased. However, unfortunately,
these products could be an appropriate vehicle for the transmission of foodborne pathogens. In ...
A deletion affecting an LRR-RLK gene co-segregates with the fruit flat shape trait in peach
(Nature Research, 2017-07-27)
In peach, the fat phenotype is caused by a partially dominant allele in heterozygosis (Ss), fruits from
homozygous trees (SS) abort a few weeks after fruit setting. Previous research has identifed a ...
Effects of enhanced hydrological connectivity on Mediterranean salt marsh fish assemblages with emphasis on the endangered Spanish toothcarp (Aphanius iberus)
(PeerJ, 2017-02-28)
The hydrological connectivity between the salt marsh and the sea was partially restored in a Mediterranean wetland containing isolated ponds resulting from former salt extraction and aquaculture activities. ...
Malignant infarction of the middle cerebral artery in a porcine model. A pilot study
(Public Library of Science, 2017-02-24)
Background and purpose. Interspecies variability and poor clinical translation from rodent studies indicate that large gyrencephalic animal stroke models are urgently needed. We present a proof-of-principle ...
Integration of liver gene co-expression networks and eGWAs analyses highlighted candidate regulators implicated in lipid metabolism in pigs
(Nature Research, 2017-04-19)
In the present study, liver co-expression networks and expression Genome Wide Association Study
(eGWAS) were performed to identify DNA variants and molecular pathways implicated in the functional
regulatory ...
Schmallenberg virus detection in Culicoides biting midges in Spain: First laboratory evidence for highly efficient infection of Culicoides of the Obsoletus complex and Culicoides imicola
(Wiley, 2017-05-04)
Since Schmallenberg disease was discovered in 2011, the disease rapidly spread across Europe. Culicoides biting midges have been implicated as putative Schmallenberg vectors in Europe. The detection of ...
Vitamin A Affects Flatfish Development in a Thyroid Hormone Signaling and Metamorphic Stage Dependent Manner
(Frontiers Media, 2017-06-30)
Vitamin A (VA) and retinoid derivatives are known morphogens controlling vertebrate development. Despite the research effort conducted during the last decade, the precise mechanism of how VA induces ...
Consequences of supplying methyl donors during pregnancy on the methylome of the offspring from lactating and non-lactating dairy cattle
(Public Library of Science, 2017-12-11)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of methyl donor supplementation of pregnant animals in the presence or absence of a concomitant lactation on the methylome of the offspring. ...
Consumer acceptance of minced meat patties from boars in four European countries
(Elsevier, 2017-11-28)
A consumer study was performed in four EU countries to further clarify the acceptability of meat with boar taint. In Denmark, France, Italy and Poland, a total of 476 female consumers evaluated 8 meat ...
Nutrient supply affects the mRNA expression profile of the porcine skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2017-08-10)
Background: The genetic basis of muscle fat deposition in pigs is not well known. So far, we have only identified a limited number of genes involved in the absorption, transport, storage and catabolism ...
