Correlated genetic trends for production and welfare traits in a mouse population divergently selected for birth weight environmental variability
(Elsevier, 2016-05-12)
The objective of this work was to study the changes that, selecting for environmental variability of birth weight (BW), could bring to other interesting traits in livestock such as: survivability at ...
MAGGnet: An international network to foster mitigation of agricultural greenhouse gases
(Taylor and Francis, 2016-05-31)
Research networks provide a framework for review, synthesis and systematic testing of theories by multiple scientists across international borders critical for addressing global-scale issues. In 2012, ...
Photoperiod sensitivity affects flowering duration in wheat
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-06-01)
Flowering and successful pollination in wheat are key determinants of both quantity and quality of grain. Bread wheat line ‘Paragon’, introgressed with single or multiple daylength insensitivity alleles ...
Treatment of swine manure: case studies in European’s N-surplus areas
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2016-09)
In this study, eight different manure treatment plants were monitored. The plants were four on-farm and four centralized treatment plants, all of them at full-scale level. Assessment includes a total ...
Towards a standardization of biomethane potential tests
(IWA Publishing, 2016-09-19)
Production of biogas from different organic materials is a most interesting source of renewable energy.
The biomethane potential (BMP) of these materials has to be determined to get insight in ...
Characterization of stress coping style in Senegalese sole (Soleasenegalensis) juveniles and breeders for aquaculture
(The Royal Society, 2016-11-01)
The aim of this work was to characterize stress coping styles of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) juveniles and breeders and to select an operational behavioural screening test (OBST) that can be ...
Genome-Wide Association Study Singles Out SCD and LEPR as the Two Main Loci Influencing Intramuscular Fat Content and Fatty Acid Composition in Duroc Pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2016-03-29)
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and fatty acid composition affect the organoleptic quality and nutritional value of pork. A genome-wide association study was performed on 138 Duroc pigs genotyped with ...
Physiological Basis and Transcriptional Profiling of Three Salt-Tolerant Mutant Lines of Rice
(Frontiers Media, 2016-09-28)
Salinity is a complex trait that affects growth and productivity in many crops, including rice. Mutation induction, a useful tool to generate salt tolerant plants, enables the analysis of plants with ...
Genetic Structure of Modern Durum Wheat Cultivars and Mediterranean Landraces Matches with Their Agronomic Performance
(Public Library of Science, 2016-08-11)
A collection of 172 durum wheat landraces from 21 Mediterranean countries and 20 modern cultivars were phenotyped in 6 environments for 14 traits including phenology, biomass, yield and yield omponents. ...
A collection of European sweet cherry phenology data for assessing climate change
(Nature Research, 2016-12-06)
Professional and scientific networks built around the production of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) led to the collection of phenology data for a wide range of cultivars grown in experimental sites ...
