A regionalised life cycle assessment model to globally assess the environmental implications of soil salinization in irrigated agriculture
(American Chemical Society, 2020-02-21)
We present a global, locally resolved life cycle assessment (LCA) model to assess the potential effects on soil quality due to the accumulation of water-soluble salts in the agricultural soil profile, ...
Water UV-C treatment alone or in combination with peracetic acid: A technology to maintain safety and quality of strawberries
(Elsevier, 2020-09-11)
Disinfection of fruits is one of the most important steps since they are going to be eaten fresh-or minimally-processed. This step affects quality, safety, and shelf-life of the product. Despite being ...
Expression of genes related to long-chain (C18–22) and very long-chain (>C24) fatty acid biosynthesis in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) larvae: investigating early ontogeny and nutritional regulation
(Elsevier, 2020-01-11)
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) have been extensively studied in aquaculture due to their importance for survival and development in teleosts. However, very long-chain polyunsaturated ...
Evaluation and sensitivity analysis of diatom DNA metabarcoding for WFD bioassessment of Mediterranean rivers
(Elsevier, 2020-04-04)
Our study of 164 diatom samples from Catalonia (NE Spain) is the first to evaluate the applicability of DNA metabarcoding, based on high throughput sequencing (HTS) using a 312-bp rbcL marker, for ...
Molecular phenomics of a high-calorie diet-induced porcine model of prepubertal obesity
(Elsevier, 2020-04-24)
As obesity incidence is alarmingly rising among young individuals, we aimed to characterize an experimental model of this situation, considering the similarity between human and porcine physiology. For ...
Short communication: Recombinant mammary serum amyloid A3 as a potential strategy for preventing intramammary infections in dairy cows at dryoff
(American Dairy Science Association, 2020-02-11)
Mammary serum amyloid A3 (M-SAA3) has shown potential in stimulating innate immunity during intramammary infections, at calving and at dryoff. In this study, we produced recombinant caprine M-SAA3 to ...
The relationship between ethylene- and oxidative-related markers at harvest with the susceptibility of pears to develop superficial scald
(Elsevier, 2020-01-28)
To better understand the specific biochemical pathways involved in superficial scald susceptibility, changes in ethylene biosynthesis, antioxidant, oxidative related processes and sugar metabolism were ...
Aggregation-prone peptides modulate activity of bovine interferon gamma released from naturally occurring protein nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2020-02-03)
Efficient protocols for the production of recombinant proteins are indispensable for the development of the biopharmaceutical sector. Accumulation of recombinant proteins in naturally-occurring protein ...
Addressing the analytical challenges for the detection of ciguatoxins using an electrochemical biosensor
(American Chemical Society, 2020-03-05)
The importance of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in seafood safety and their emerging occurrence in locations far away from tropical areas highlight the need for simple and low-cost methods for the sensitive and ...
Thinning flat peaches with ethephon and its effect on endogenous ethylene production and fruit quality
(Elsevier, 2020-12-06)
Peach orchards are usually hand-thinned at around 40–60 days after bloom, but this practice is labor-intensive and costly. Ethylene plays a key role in peach fruitlet abscission and foliar applications ...
