The roses ocean and human health chair: A new way to engage the public in oceans and human health challenges
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020-07-14)
Involving and engaging stakeholders is crucial for studying and managing the complex interactions between marine ecosystems and human health and wellbeing. The Oceans and Human Health Chair was founded ...
Potential of MMP-9 based nanoparticles at optimizing the cow dry period: pulling apart the effects of MMP-9 and nanoparticles
(Scientific Reports, 2020-07-09)
The cow dry period is a non-milking interval where the mammary gland involutes and regenerates
to guarantee an optimal milk production in the subsequent lactation. Important bottlenecks such
as the ...
Monitoring crop evapotranspiration and crop coefficients over an almond and pistachio orchard throughout remote sensing
(Remote Sensing, 2018-12-10)
In California, water is a perennial concern. As competition for water resources increases due to growth in population, California’s tree nut farmers are committed to improving the efficiency of water ...

(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2018-07-25)
To understand what is driving spatial flux variability within a savanna type ecosystem in central Spain, data of
three co-located eddy covariance (EC) towers in combination with hyperspectral airborne ...
Expression QTL (eQTLs) Analyses Reveal Candidate Genes Associated With Fruit Flesh Softening Rate in Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019-12-03)
Significant differences in softening rate have been reported between melting flesh in peach and nectarine varieties. This trait seems to be controlled by several genes. We aimed to identify candidate ...
Attention sports fans! The far-reaching contributions of bud sport mutants to horticulture and plant biology
(Horticulture Research, 2018-07-15)
A bud sport is a lateral shoot, inflorescence or single flower/fruit with a visibly different phenotype from the rest of the plant. The new phenotype is often caused by a stable somatic mutation in a ...
