Correlated genetic trends for production and welfare traits in a mouse population divergently selected for birth weight environmental variability

Formoso-Rafferty, N.; Cervantes, I.; Ibáñez-Escriche, N.; Gutiérrez, J.P. (Elsevier, 2016-05-12)

The objective of this work was to study the changes that, selecting for environmental variability of birth weight (BW), could bring to other interesting traits in livestock such as: survivability at ...

Airborne Thermal Imagery to Detect the Seasonal Evolution of Crop Water Status in Peach, Nectarine and Saturn Peach Orchards

Bellvert, Joaquim; Marsal, Jordi; Girona, Joan; Gonzalez-Dugo, Victoria; Fereres, Elías; Ustin, Susan L.; Zarco-Tejada, Pablo J. (MDPI, 2016-01-05)

In the current scenario of worldwide limited water supplies, conserving water is a major concern in agricultural areas. Characterizing within-orchard spatial heterogeneity in water requirements would ...

Photoperiod sensitivity affects flowering duration in wheat

Jones, H.E.; Lukac, M.; Brak, B.; Martinez-Eixarch, M.; Alhomedhi, A.; Gooding, M.J.; Wingen, L.U.; Griffiths, S. (Cambridge University Press, 2016-06-01)

Flowering and successful pollination in wheat are key determinants of both quantity and quality of grain. Bread wheat line ‘Paragon’, introgressed with single or multiple daylength insensitivity alleles ...
