(Journal of Economic Entomology, 2018-07-24) Protecció Vegetal Sostenible
Pyralid moths, such as Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) or Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), are among the pests of most concern in mills and food industries worldwide. One option for ...
Steaming and sous-vide: Effects on antioxidant activity, vitamin C, and total phenolic content of Brassica vegetables
(International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science, 2018-05-29) Postcollita
The present study evaluated the effect of thermal processing on the colour, antioxidant activity, vitamin C content, and total phenols of six Brassica vegetables. The landrace Grelo was the best source ...
Exploratory metagenomic analyses of periweaning failure-to-thrive syndrome-affected pigs
(Veterinary Record, 2018-11-09) Sanitat Animal
Modern pig farming is characterised by the emergence of several syndromes whose aetiology is unclear or has a multifactorial origin, including periweaning failure-to-thrive syndrome (PFTS). In fact, its ...
Bacterial inclusion bodies are industrially exploitable amyloids
(FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2018-10-24) Producció de Remugants
Understanding the structure, functionalities and biology of functional amyloids is an issue of emerging interest. Inclusion bodies, namely protein clusters formed in recombinant bacteria during protein ...

Acclimation strategies in gilts to control Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection
(Veterinary Microbiology, 2018-04-04) Sanitat Animal
This paper discusses what can be expected with regard to efficacy of antibacterial vaccines used in swine, based on the present knowledge of pathogen–host interactions. First, vaccination against bacteria ...
Breeding strategies for identifying superior peach genotypes resistant to brown rot
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2018-11-01) Postcollita
A sustainable approach to control the incidence of brown rot in pre- and post-harvest management is to select genotypes with high contents of antioxidant compounds and tolerance to Monilinia laxa (Aderh. ...
Nitrate- and nitric oxide-induced plant growth in pea seedlings is linked to antioxidative metabolism and the ABA/GA balance
(Journal of Plant Physiology, 2018-08-16) Postcollita
This study looks at the effects of potassium nitrate (KNO3) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide (NO)-donor, on the development, antioxidant defences and on the abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin ...
