From Genetic Maps to QTL Cloning: An Overview for Durum Wheat
(MDPI, 2021-02-06)
Durum wheat is one of the most important cultivated cereal crops, providing nutrients to humans and domestic animals. Durum breeding programs prioritize the improvement of its main agronomic traits; ...
Ciguatoxin occurrence in food-web components of a Cuban Coral Reef Ecosystem: Risk-assessment implications
(MDPI, 2019-12-11)
In Cuba, ciguatera poisoning associated with fish consumption is the most commonly occurring non-bacterial seafood-borne illness. Risk management through fish market regulation has existed in Cuba for ...
Analysis of farmers’ stated risk using lotteries and their perceptions of climate change in the Northwest of Mexico
(MDPI, 2018-12-21)
Risk attitudes are relevant factors affecting production, management and investment
decisions at the farm level. They are key factors related to farmers’ attitudes towards the environment
and climate ...
Genetic Diversity and Association Mapping for Agromorphological and Grain Quality Traits of a Structured Collection of Durum Wheat Landraces Including subsp. durum, turgidum and diccocon
(Public Library of Science, 2016-11-15)
Association mapping was performed for 18 agromorphological and grain quality traits in a set of 183 Spanish landraces, including subspecies durum, turgidum and dicoccon, genotyped with 749 DArT (Diversity ...
Assessment of a novel microalgae-cork based technology for removing antibiotics, pesticides and nitrates from groundwater
(Elsevier, 2022-04-29)
Groundwater pollution has increased in recent years due to the intensification of agricultural and livestock activities. This results in a significant reduction in available freshwater resources. Here, ...
Transmission of Similar Mcr-1 Carrying Plasmids among Different Escherichia coli Lineages Isolated from Livestock and the Farmer
(MDPI, 2021-03-17)
Colistin use has mostly been stopped in human medicine, due to its toxicity. However, nowadays, it still is used as a last-resort antibiotic to treat hospital infections caused by multi-drug resistant ...
Modeling heat stress under organic dairy farming conditions in warm temperate climates within the Mediterranean basin
(Springer, 2020-08-25)
We studied the effect of heat stress on milk quality in Spanish organic dairy farms using
published milk productivity equations. We collected data from 23 weather stations and
14,424 milk test-days ...
A toxicokinetic study reflecting the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of deoxynivalenol in broiler chickens
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021-06-26)
To identify the specific biomarkers of exposure of DON in chickens, a toxicokinetic study was performed via oral or intravenous application of deoxynivalenol (DON). Doses of 0.75 and 2.25 mg DON/kg of ...
Genetic architecture and genomic predictive ability of apple quantitative traits across environments
(Oxford University Press, 2022-02-19)
Implementation of genomic tools is desirable to increase the efficiency of apple breeding. Recently, the multi-environment apple reference population (apple REFPOP) proved useful for rediscovering loci, ...
The Potential of Metalloproteinase-9 Administration to Accelerate Mammary Involution and Boost the Immune System at Dry-Off
(MDPI, 2021-11-30)
The dry period is decisive for the milking performance of dairy cows. The promptness of
mammary gland involution at dry-off affects not only the productivity in the next lactation, but also
the risk ...
