Describing variability in pig genes involved in coronavirus infections for a One Health perspective in conservation of animal genetic resources
(Scientific Reports, 2021-02-09)Coronaviruses silently circulate in human and animal populations, causing mild to severe diseases. Therefore, livestock are important components of a “One Health” perspective aimed to control these viral ... -
Detection of Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa single cells using recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a sandwich hybridization assay
(Journal of Applied Phycology, 2021-04-10)Dinoflagellates of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are known to produce several bioactive compounds including the potent neurotoxic ciguatoxins (CTXs) which are able to accumulate in fish and through ... -
Weaning strategies affect larval performance in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus)
(Aquaculture, 2021-03-24)A 30-day study was carried out to determine the influence of different weaning strategies (WS) on growth and survival rates, stress resistance, digestive enzyme activities and whole body fatty acid ... -
A multiplier peroxiporin signal transduction pathway powers piscine spermatozoa
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), 2021-03-09)The primary task of a spermatozoon is to deliver its nuclear payload to the egg to form the next-generation zygote. With polyandry repeatedly evolving in the animal kingdom, however, sperm competition ... -
Can Insectary Plants Enhance the Presence of Natural Enemies of the Green Peach Aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in Mediterranean Peach Orchards?
(Journal of Economic Entomology, 2021-01-22)Conservation biological control could be an alternative to insecticides for the management of the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer). To develop sustainable strategies for M. persicae control in peach orchards ... -
An Endeavor to Find Starter Feed Alternatives and Techniques for Zebrafish First-Feeding Larvae: The Effects on Viability, Morphometric Traits, Digestive Enzymes, and Expression of Growth-Related Genes
(Zebrafish, 2021-02-12)Low and variable growth and survival rates (SR) of 6–10 days postfertilization zebrafish larvae are a problem. This problem seems to be linked to starter feed characteristics. This study is an attempt ... -
Genetic origin and climate determine fruit quality and antioxidant traits on apple (Malus x domestica Borkh)
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2021-04-10)Apples are highly appreciated in terms of flavor, nutritional and health-promoting compounds and are associated with a reduced risk to develop age-related and chronic diseases. In this study, 155 ... -
Rhizosphere microorganisms enhance in vitro root and plantlet development of Pyrus and Prunus rootstocks
(Planta, 2021-03-14)The rooting of fruit tree rootstocks is the most challenging step of the in vitro propagation process. The use of rhizosphere microorganisms to promote in vitro rooting and plant growth as an alternative ... -
Accelerometry of Seabream in a Sea-Cage: Is Acceleration a Good Proxy for Activity?
(Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021-02-22)Activity assessment of individual fish in a sea-cage could provide valuable insights into the behavior, but also physiological well-being and resilience, of the fish population in the cage. Acceleration ... -
Remote Sensing Energy Balance Model for the Assessment of Crop Evapotranspiration and Water Status in an Almond Rootstock Collection
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021-03-10)One of the objectives of many studies conducted by breeding programs is to characterize and select rootstocks well-adapted to drought conditions. In recent years, field high-throughput phenotyping methods ... -
Genomic analyses provide insights into peach local adaptation and responses to climate change
(Genome Research, 2021-03-09)The environment has constantly shaped plant genomes, but the genetic bases underlying how plants adapt to environmental influences remain largely unknown. We constructed a high-density genomic variation ... -
