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, ...
Is it possible to store spotted wolffish (Anarhichas minor) sperm by refrigeration?
(Springer, 2020-06-02)
Spotted wolffish Anarhichas minor reproduction in captivity is dependent on in vitro fertilization. However, it is often challenging to acquire sufficient fresh sperm to fertilize the eggs that are ...
Testing of umbilical cords by real time PCR is suitable for assessing vertical transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus under field conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
The objective of this study was to test the suitability of umbilical cord (UC) sampling and ear vein swabbing (EVS) as alternatives to jugular vein bleeding (JVB) for the assessment of vertical transmission ...
A compendium of genetic regulatory effects across pig tissues
(Nature Research, 2024-01-04)
The Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) project has been established to develop a public resource of genetic regulatory variants in livestock, which is essential for linking genetic ...
Modeling soil accretion and carbon accumulation in deltaic rice fields
(Elsevier, 2023-07-17)
Rice cultivation is popular in low-lying areas such as deltas, but climate change threatens the viability of the crop. In recent decades, the resilience of deltas to sea level rise (SLR) has been ...
New insights in the Spanish gene pool of olive (Olea europaea L.) preserved ex situ and in situ based on high-throughput molecular markers
(Frontiers Media, 2024-01-05)
In Spain, several local studies have highlighted the likely presence of
unknown olive cultivars distinct from the approximately 260 ones
previously described in the literature. Furthermore, recent ...
Lack of thinning effects over inter-annual changes in soil fungal community and diversity in a Mediterranean pine forest
(Elsevier, 2018-05-17)
Predicted changes in global climate might negatively affect the soil microbiome and associated ecosystem processes in Mediterranean forests. Forest treatments, such as forest thinning, have been suggested ...
Prey preference in a kleptoplastic dinoflagellate is linked to photosynthetic performance
(Springer Nature, 2023-06-30)
Dinoflagellates of the family Kryptoperidiniaceae, known as “dinotoms”, possess diatom-derived endosymbionts and contain individuals at three successive evolutionary stages: a transiently maintained ...
Effect of L-Hyp supplementation on collagen muscle histology, gene expression, growth performance, body composition and fillet texture on big size European sea bass (Dicentrarchux labrax)
(Elsevier, 2021-07-09)
Hydroxyproline (L-Hyp) is amply present in fishmeal but limited in plant-protein sources. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementation with dietary L-Hyp on the distribution of ...
The use of red lentil flour in bakery products: How do particle size and substitution level affect rheological properties of wheat bread dough?
(Elsevier, 2020-09-29)
Inclusion of pulses flour in bread formulation has important nutritional effects but its successful implementation is challenging and requires a good understanding of the effect of flour functionality, ...
