Setting a baseline for global urban virome surveillance in sewage
(Nature Research, 2020-08-13)
The rapid development of megacities, and their growing connectedness across the world is becoming a distinct driver for emerging disease outbreaks. Early detection of unusual disease emergence and spread ...
Differential distribution of the wlaN and cgtB genes, Associated with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, in Campylobacter jejuni isolates from humans, broiler chickens, and wild birds
(MDPI, 2020-02-26)
Campylobacter jejuni causes campylobacteriosis, a bacterial gastroenteritis with high
incidence worldwide. Moreover, C. jejuni infection can trigger the polyneuropathic disorder
denominated Guillain-Barré ...
Integral procedure to predict bitter pit in ‘Golden Smoothee’ apples based on calcium content and symptom induction
(Elsevier, 2020-11-01)
Bitter pit has been described as one of the most important physiological disorders of apple fruit whose symptoms appear late in the season and during storage and which can cause high economic losses. ...
Effect of packaging chickpeas with CO2 modified atmospheres on mortality of Callosobruchus chinensis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
(Elsevier, 2021-10-19)
High CO2 modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is a sustainable alternative for pest control in stored products. The effectiveness of this method varies depending on the CO2 concentration used, insect ...
Modeling of sodium nitrite and water transport in pork meat
(Elsevier, 2019-01-21)
Four models were used to simulate nitrite uptake and water loss during pork meat curing with sodium nitrite: three empirical ones (the Azuara, the Peleg and the Zugarramurdi and Lupin) and one theoretical ...
Grifola frondosa (Maitake) Extract Reduces Fat Accumulation and Improves Health Span in C. elegans through the DAF-16/FOXO and SKN-1/NRF2 Signalling Pathways
(MDPI, 2021-11-07)
In recent years, food ingredients rich in bioactive compounds have emerged as candidates to prevent excess adiposity and other metabolic complications characteristic of obesity, such as low-grade ...
Phytoene synthase 1 (Psy-1) and lipoxygenase 1 (Lpx-1) Genes Influence on Semolina Yellowness in Wheat Mediterranean Germplasm
(MDPI, 2020-06-30)
Phytoene synthase 1 (Psy1) and lipoxygenase 1 (Lpx-1) are key genes involved in the synthesis and catalysis of carotenoid pigments in durum wheat, regulating the increase and decrease in these compounds, ...
A method for using monthly average temperatures in phenology models for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)
(International Viticulture and Enology Society (IVES), 2022-11-21)
In recent years, there have been increasing efforts to link phenology models with seasonal climate predictions in so-called Decision Support Systems (DSS) to tailor crop management strategies. However, ...
Ecohydrological turnover in overstocked Aleppo pine plantations: Does the effect of thinning, in relation to water, persist at the mid-term?
(Elsevier, 2020-11-18)
In Mediterranean pine plantations forest dieback and tree mortality are not only related to increased drought, but also to a lack of management, which intensifies inter-tree competition for available ...
Discovery of a kleptoplastic 'dinotom' dinoflagellate and the unique nuclear dynamics of converting kleptoplastids to permanent plastids
(Nature Research, 2019-07-19)
A monophyletic group of dinoflagellates, called ‘dinotoms’, are known to possess evolutionarily intermediate plastids derived from diatoms. The diatoms maintain their nuclei, mitochondria, and the ...
