Resynthesis: Marker-Based Partial Reconstruction of Elite Genotypes in Clonally-Reproducing Plant Species
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-07)
We propose a method for marker-based selection of cultivars of clonally-reproducing plant species which keeps the basic genetic architecture of a top-performing cultivar (usually a partly heterozygous ...
Gut barrier-microbiota imbalances in early life lead to higher sensitivity to inflammation in a murine model of C-section delivery
(BMC, 2023-07-03)
Background Most interactions between the host and its microbiota occur at the gut barrier, and primary colonizers
are essential in the gut barrier maturation in the early life. The mother–ofspring ...
Genomic diversity, linkage disequilibrium and selection signatures in European local pig breeds assessed with a high density SNP chip
(Nature Research, 2019-09-19)
Genetic characterization of local breeds is essential to preserve their genomic variability, to advance conservation policies and to contribute to their promotion and sustainability. Genomic diversity ...
Systemic CD4 cytotoxic T cells improve protection against PRRSV-1 transplacental infection
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01-17)
Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the major swine pathogens causing reproductive failure in sows. Although modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines are available, ...
Environmental heterogeneity and variations in the velocity of bluetongue virus spread in six European epidemics
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)
Several epidemics caused by different bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes occurred in European ruminants since the early 2000. Studies on the spatial distribution of these vector-borne infections and the ...
Mating behaviour and gamete release in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata, Linnaeus 1758) held in captivity
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2015-02-11)
The present study aimed to describe the reproductive behaviour of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) in captivity. Twenty-four mature gilthead seabream, divided in two tanks, were utilized for the present ...
The control of intestinal inflammation: A major objective in the research of probiotic strains as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry
(MDPI, 2020-01-21)
The reduction of antimicrobial resistance is a major challenge for the scientific community. In a few decades, infections by resistant bacteria are forecasted to be the main cause of death in the world. ...
Decision-making processes on sustainable packaging options in the European food sector
(Elsevier, 2023-11-28)
Food packaging improves shelf life and allows longer transportation distances in global food supply chains, but it is also responsible for huge volumes of waste. The transition to sustainable packaging ...
Evaluation of potential biomarkers to determine adequate colostrum provision in male dairy-beef calves upon arrival at the rearing facility beyond 14 days of age
(Elsevier, 2022-11-21)
Colostrum consumption is crucial for passive immunization and development of the newborn calf. However, the incidence on failed transfer of passive immunity in male calves destined to dairy-beef production ...
Are the agronomic performance and grain quality characteristics of bread wheat Mediterranean landraces related to the climate prevalent in their area of origin?
(Elsevier, 2022-04-15)
This study analyses the relationship between the climate of the countries where wheat landraces are specifically adapted, and their agronomic and grain quality characteristics. Regions with similar ...
