Thinning flat peaches with ethephon and its effect on endogenous ethylene production and fruit quality
(Elsevier, 2020-12-06)
Peach orchards are usually hand-thinned at around 40–60 days after bloom, but this practice is labor-intensive and costly. Ethylene plays a key role in peach fruitlet abscission and foliar applications ...
The relationship between ethylene- and oxidative-related markers at harvest with the susceptibility of pears to develop superficial scald
(Elsevier, 2020-01-28)
To better understand the specific biochemical pathways involved in superficial scald susceptibility, changes in ethylene biosynthesis, antioxidant, oxidative related processes and sugar metabolism were ...
Aggregation-prone peptides modulate activity of bovine interferon gamma released from naturally occurring protein nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2020-02-03)
Efficient protocols for the production of recombinant proteins are indispensable for the development of the biopharmaceutical sector. Accumulation of recombinant proteins in naturally-occurring protein ...
Effects of exogenous glucoamylase enzymes alone or in combination with a neutral protease on apparent total tract digestibility and feces D-Lactate in crossbred angus bulls fed a ration rich in rolled corn
(MDPI, 2020-06-23)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two glucoamylases (GA) and the
combination of one GA with a neutral protease on apparent total tract digestibility in beef bulls fed a
total mixed ...
Impact of Postharvest Handling on Preharvest Latent Infections Caused by Monilinia spp. in Nectarines
(MDPI, 2020-11-04)
Latent infections caused by Monilinia spp. in nectarines cause great economic losses since they are not detected and rejected at harvest and can appear at any time post-harvest, even at the consumer’s ...
Exploring the relationship between stress coping styles and sex, origin and reproductive success, in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) breeders in captivity
(Elsevier, 2020-03-13)
Individual animals commonly adopt different stress coping styles that have been shown to impact reproductive success and differ between sexes (female/male) and origin (wild/hatchery). Hatchery reared ...
Evaluating the potential role of tryptophan in calf milk replacers to facilitate weaning
(Elsevier, 2020-05-29)
Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that participates in the control of the affective state of an animal. We hypothesized that Trp supplementation could help dairy calves to cope ...
Prediction of the total and standardized ileal digestible amino acid contents from the chemical composition of soybean meals of different origin in broilers
(Poultry Science Association, 2020-07-04)
The objective of this experiment was to determine total amino acid (TAA) content, standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein, and standardized ileal amino acid digestibility in 9 sources ...
Beyond scientific contribution: Assessment of the societal impact of research and innovation to build a sustainable agri-food sector
(Elsevier, 2020-03-26)
Due to the climate change and increased attention toward environmental management issues, the agri-food sector has been extensively relying on research, development, and innovation (RDi) to transform ...
Evaluation and sensitivity analysis of diatom DNA metabarcoding for WFD bioassessment of Mediterranean rivers
(Elsevier, 2020-04-04)
Our study of 164 diatom samples from Catalonia (NE Spain) is the first to evaluate the applicability of DNA metabarcoding, based on high throughput sequencing (HTS) using a 312-bp rbcL marker, for ...
