Long-Term Study of the Crop Forcing Technique on cv. Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) Vines and Suggested Irrigation Strategies to Improve Water Use Efficiency of Forced Vines
(MDPI, 2024-01-04)
Recently, the crop forcing technique (summer pruning that “forces” the vine to start a new cycle) has proven to be effective in delaying the harvest date and increasing must acidity, but also reducing ...
Relationship among Soil Biophysicochemical Properties, Agricultural Practices and Climate Factors Influencing Soil Phosphatase Activity in Agricultural Land
(MDPI, 2024-02-10)
Phosphorus (P) is a vital macronutrient crucial for crop productivity. Plants absorb P salts, mainly orthophosphate, from the soil, yet the primary P source resides in organic materials. Acid and alkaline ...
Gestational Caloric Restriction Alters Adipose Tissue Methylome and Offspring’s Metabolic Profile in a Swine Model
(MDPI, 2024-01-17)
Limited nutrient supply to the fetus results in physiologic and metabolic adaptations that have unfavorable consequences in the offspring. In a swine animal model, we aimed to study the effects of ...
Recombination in the wheat stem rust pathogen mediated by an indigenous barberry species in Spain
(Frontiers Media, 2024-01-15)
The comeback of wheat stem rust in Europe, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, and the prevalence of the alternate (sexual) host in local areas have recently regained attention as a potential ...
High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity Increases Brain Mitochondrial Complex I and Lipoxidation-Derived Protein Damage
(MDPI, 2024-01-26)
Obesity is a risk factor for highly prevalent age-related neurodegenerative diseases, the pathogenesis of whichinvolves mitochondrial dysfunction and protein oxidative damage. Lipoxidation, driven by ...
Safety and Efficacy upon Infection in Sheep with Rift Valley Fever Virus ZH548-rA2, a Triple Mutant Rescued Virus
(MDPI, 2024-01-05)
The introduction of three single nucleotide mutations into the genome of the virulent RVFV
ZH548 strain allows for the rescue of a fully attenuated virus in mice (ZH548-rA2). These mutations
are located ...
The Metallotolerance and Biosorption of As(V) and Cr(VI) by Black Fungi
(MDPI, 2024-01-05)
A collection of 34 melanized fungi isolated previously from anthropogenic contaminated sites were assessed for their tolerance to toxic concentrations of As(V) and Cr(VI) anions. Three strains of the ...
Evolutionary-Related High- and Low-Virulent Classical Swine Fever Virus Isolates Reveal Viral Determinants of Virulence
(MDPI, 2024-01-19)
Classical swine fever (CSF) has been eradicated from Western and Central Europe but
remains endemic in parts of Central and South America, Asia, and the Caribbean. CSF virus
(CSFV) has been endemic ...
Optimising sewage sludge anaerobic digestion for resource recovery in wastewater treatment plants
(Elsevier, 2024-02-08)
Recovering resources from sludge generated during wastewater treatment is both an opportunity and a challenge. Thermophilic anaerobic digestion may optimise biogas production and digested sludge properties ...
Spatiotemporal Variations in Biophysical Water Quality Parameters: An Integrated In Situ and Remote Sensing Analysis of an Urban Lake in Chile
(MDPI, 2024-01-22)
This study aims to develop and implement a methodology for retrieving bio-optical
parameters in a lagoon located in the Biobío region, South-Central Chile, by analyzing time series
of Landsat-8 OLI ...
