Genetic Dissection of the Seminal Root System Architecture in Mediterranean Durum Wheat Landraces by Genome-Wide Association Study
(MDPI, 2019-07-09)
Roots are crucial for adaptation to drought stress. However, phenotyping root systems
is a difficult and time-consuming task due to the special feature of the traits in the process of being
analyzed. ...
A Rift Valley fever virus Gn ectodomain-based DNA vaccine induces a partial protection not improved by APC targeting
(Nature Research, 2018-04-20)
Rift Valley fever virus, a phlebovirus endemic in Africa, causes serious diseases in ruminants and humans. Due to the high probability of new outbreaks and spread to other continents where competent ...
Spray Dried Animal Plasma as an Alternative to Antibiotics in Weanling Pigs
(Asian-Australasian Association of Animal Production Societies, 2010-01-01)
Piglet health at weaning is compromised due to several stress factors. Following the ban of antibiotic growth promoters
new alternatives are required to control these problems. This paper reviews the ...
Taurine supplementation in high-soy diets affects fillet quality of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
(Elsevier, 2019-11-01)
This study evaluated the effects of taurine supplementation to diets containing a high dietary inclusion of soybean meal and soy protein concentrate on growth performance and fillet quality of juvenile ...
Disentangling omnivory of heteropteran and coccinellid predators present in peach and alfalfa crops by metabarcoding analysis
(Elsevier, 2024-05-31)
Ecosystems management is essential for the biological control of arthropod pests in agriculture. For this, it is necessary to know which arthropod and plant resources are the most used by the generalist ...
Biogas Upgrading and Ammonia Recovery from Livestock Manure Digestates in a Combined Electromethanogenic Biocathode—Hydrophobic Membrane System
(MDPI, 2021-01-19)
Anaerobic digestion process can be improved in combination with bioelectrochemical systems in order to recover energy and resources from digestates. An electromethanogenic microbial electrolysis cell ...
Preserving habitat quality at local and landscape scales increases wild bee diversity in intensive farming systems
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-02-13)
Biological diversity is influenced by many environmental factors, which can act either at a local scale (e.g. quality and quantity of feeding and nesting resources, habitat type) or at a landscape scale ...
Herbivore control in connected seascapes: habitat determines when population regulation occurs in the life history of a key herbivore
(Wiley, 2018-02-08)
Herbivore outbreaks often trigger catastrophic overgrazing events in marine macrophyte ecosystems. The sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, the dominant herbivore of shallow Mediterranean seascapes, is ...
Comparative transcriptional profiling analysis of developing melon (Cucumis melo L.) fruit from climacteric and non-climacteric varieties
(BMC, 2015-06-09)
Background: In climacteric fruit-bearing species, the onset of fruit ripening is marked by a transient rise in
respiration rate and autocatalytic ethylene production, followed by rapid deterioration ...
Effects of water pollution and river fragmentation on population genetic structure of invasive mosquitofish
(Elsevier, 2018-05-22)
We analyzed variation at the GPI-2 locus and eleven microsatellite loci of eastern mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki populations introduced to the Ebro River (Spain), sampling above and below a dam (Flix ...
