Unravelling the responses of different apple varieties to water constraints by continuous field thermal monitoring
(Elsevier, 2022-03-03)
This research aimed at analyzing the response of apple tree varieties subjected to soil water deficit and atmospheric drought in a field phenotyping platform located in the Mediterranean area. The main ...
Implementing the livelihood resilience framework: An indicator-based model for assessing mountain pastoral farming systems
(Elsevier, 2022-03-25)
Ongoing decreases in family farms and livestock numbers in European mountain areas are linked to
multiple interconnected challenges. The continuity of such farms concerns society at large since they ...
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing uncovers the roles of CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE 1 and REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1 in melon fruit ripening and epigenetic regulation
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04-08)
Melon (Cucumis melo) has emerged as an alternative model to tomato for studying fruit ripening due to the coexistence of climacteric and non-climacteric varieties. Previous characterization of a major ...
Productive performance and in vivo body composition across the growing and finishing period and carcass traits in pigs of four sex types
(Elsevier, 2022-07-14)
This study compares performance, body and carcass composition among castrated (CM), immunocastrated (IM) and entire males (EM), and females (FE) at 30, 70, 100 and 120 kg of body weight (total of n = ...
Assessment of marine benthic diatom communities: insights from a combined morphological–metabarcoding approach in Mediterranean shallow coastal waters
(Elsevier, 2022-01-18)
We investigated the advantages and disadvantages of light microscope (LM)-based identifications and DNA metabarcoding, based on a 312-bp rbcL marker, for examining benthic diatom communities from ...

(Springer, 2022-03-18)
The global market for seafood alternatives is witnessing an exponential growth. Nevertheless, the nutritional quality of such products is scarcely studied. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate, for the ...
An anti-SARS-CoV-2 metabolite is reduced in diabetes
(Nature Research, 2022-05-09)
A glucose-like metabolite, which is reduced in the serum of diabetic patients, inhibits the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into key cellular targets. The work led by Cheng and colleagues provides a molecular ...
Few indirect effects of baculovirus on parasitoids demonstrate high compatibility of biocontrol methods against Tuta absoluta
(Wiley, 2022-12-08)
BACKGROUND
Combining different biocontrol agents, particularly micro- and macroorganisms, can contribute to new and sustainable pest control approaches. Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) ...
Characterization and cross-protection of experimental infections with SeCoV and two PEDV variants
(Wiley, 2022-08-02)
The aim of this study was to characterize the infection of weaned pigs with swine enteric coronavirus (SeCoV) -a chimeric virus most likely originated from a recombination event between porcine epidemic ...
Long-term incorporation of Selenium and Zinc in microalgae Isochrysis galbana and Nannochloropsis oculata and its effects on rotifer
(Wiley, 2022-03-16)
Rotifers are widely used in hatcheries to feed small-sized aquatic larvae although one of their disadvantages is the lack of zinc and selenium 5- and 30-fold lower than in copepods, respectively. To ...
