Coordinated gene expression during gilthead sea bream skeletogenesis and its disruption by nutritional hypervitaminosis A
(BMC, 2011-02-09)
Background: Vitamin A (VA) has a key role in vertebrate morphogenesis, determining body patterning and growth
through the control of cell proliferation and differentiation processes. VA regulates primary ...
Feeding Spray-Dried Porcine Plasma to Pigs Reduces African Swine Fever Virus Load in Infected Pigs and Delays Virus Transmission—Study 1
(MDPI, 2023-04-10)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential benefits of feeding spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) to pigs infected with African swine fever virus (ASFV). Two groups of twelve weaned pigs ...
Integrated QTL detection for key breeding traits in multiple peach progenies
(BMC, 2017-06-06)
Background: Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is a major temperate fruit crop with an intense breeding activity.Breeding is facilitated by knowledge of the inheritance of the key traits that are often ...
A meta-analysis of genetic and phenotypic diversity of European local pig breeds reveals genomic regions associated with breed differentiation for production traits
(BMC, 2023-12-07)
Background
Intense selection of modern pig breeds has resulted in genetic improvement of production traits while the performance of local pig breeds has remained lower. As local pig breeds have been ...
Evaluation of water-assisted UV-C light and its additive effect with peracetic acid for the inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica and murine norovirus on whole and fresh-cut strawberries during shelf-life
(Wiley, 2022-04-04)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study was to examine the inactivation of Salmonella enterica (50 ∼L; 109 CFU g−1),
Listeria monocytogenes (50 ∼L; 109 CFU g−1), and murine norovirus (MNV-1; 50 ...
Molecular Marker Technology for Crop Improvement
(MDPI, 2020-09-24)
Since the 1980s, agriculture and plant breeding have changed with the development of molecular marker technology. In recent decades, different types of molecular markers have been used for different ...
Exploring sustainable food choices factors and purchasing behavior in the sustainable development goals era in Spain
(MDPI, 2021-07-01)
The aim of the present study was (1) to investigate what consumers include within the concept of food sustainability and its link with sustainable consumption, by identifying meaningful consumer typologies ...
Emergence and spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) in Europe in 2016‐2017
(Wiley, 2018-03-14)
Circulation of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses poses a continuousthreat to animal and public health. After the 2005–2006 H5N1 and the 2014–2015H5N8 epidemics, another H5N8 is currently ...
Effects of Metamitron under Different Relative Humidity Conditions on the Fruit Abscission of Malus domestica Borkh. Cultivars
(MDPI, 2020-11-23)
Metamitron is an apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) fruit thinner that acts by reducing the photosynthetic capacity of trees. Relative humidity may influence thinning efficacy; however, the broadness of ...
Pathobiology of the highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses H7N1 and H5N8 in different chicken breeds and role of Mx 2032 G/A polymorphism in infection outcome
(BMC, 2020-09-10)
Chickens are highly susceptible to highly pathogenic avian infuenza viruses (HPAIVs). However, the severity of infec‑
tion varies depending of the viral strain and the genetic background of the host. ...
