Physiological processes modulate acute and chronic responses to dietary protein/energy ratio fluctuations in individuals and families of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) selected for variable growth rates
(Elsevier, 2020-01-31)
A range of phenotypes differing in growth rate were designed in the Manila clam by combining separate breeding families with size segregation within each family to constitute fast and slow growing groups. ...
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, ...
Sequencing of Tuta absoluta genome to develop SNP genotyping assays for species identification
