Pectin methyl esterases and rhamnogalacturonan hydrolases: weapons for successful Monilinia laxa infection in stone fruit?
(Wiley, 2019-05-16)
The secretion of cell wall‐degrading enzymes is one of the mechanisms used by necrotrophic fungi to colonize host tissues. However, information about virulence factors of Monilinia spp., the causal ...
Efficacy of Modified Atmospheres on Trogoderma granarium (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) and Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Oxford University Press, 2019-07-09)
We investigated the efficacy of two types of modified atmospheres (MA) against adults of the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts, and the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, under ...
Potential of pulse‐derived proteins for developing novel vegan edible foams and emulsions
(Wiley, 2019-07-10)
Chefs around the world strive to go beyond ordinary and garnish dishes with edible foams and
emulsions, generally made using proteins derived from soy or animal sources. However, the

Horticultural performance of ‘Marinada’ and ‘Vairo’ almond cultivars grown on a genetically diverse set of rootstocks
(Elsevier, 2019-06-14)
Evolution of almond planted area and production has been mainly due to the arrival of new cultivars and rootstocks that have contributed to improve agronomic characters such as yield, precocity and ...
On the accuracy of factory-calibrated low-cost soil water content sensors
(MDPI, 2019-07-13)
Soil water content (SWC) monitoring is often used to optimize agricultural irrigation.
Commonly, capacitance sensors are used for this task. However, the factory calibrations have been
often criticized ...
Investigation of chronic and persistent classical swine fever infections under field conditions and their impact on vaccine efficacy
(BMC, 2019-07-15)
Background: Recent studies have hypothesized that circulation of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) variants when the immunity induced by the vaccine is not sterilizing might favour viral persistence. ...
Development of a dairy fouling model to assess the efficacy of cleaning procedures using alkaline and enzymatic products
(Elsevier, 2019-02-19)
Dairy fouling is defined as the accumulation of thermally insulating materials or deposits from process fluids which are especially formed on heat transfer surfaces. The selection of suitable cleaning ...
Changes in the rumen and colon microbiota and effects of live yeast dietary supplementation during the transition from the dry period to lactation of dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2019-05-02)
The first objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics and their potential association with animal performance of the microbiota in both the rumen and colon of dairy cows as they move from a ...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the oxidation of washed muscle with added chicken hemoglobin
(Elsevier, 2019-04-19)
The role of chicken hemoglobin in lipid oxidation of washed chicken muscle exposed to high hydrostatic pressure (0, 200, 400 and 600 MPa) was examined. The observed decrease in redness was higher with ...
"One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish”: How ethical beliefs influence consumer perceptions of “blue” aquaculture products?
