Modelling the piezo-protection effect exerted by lactate on the high pressure resistance of Listeria monocytogenes in cooked ham
(Food Research International, 2020-12-24)Food safety is often based on the application of several preservative (hurdle) factors whose combination must be smartly selected. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of lactate and ... -
Pedigree analysis of 220 almond genotypes reveals two world mainstream breeding lines based on only three different cultivars
(Horticulture Research, 2021-01-01)Loss of genetic variability is an increasing challenge in tree breeding programs due to the repeated use of a reduced number of founder genotypes. However, in almond, little is known about the genetic ... -
Molecular tracking of insect dispersal to verify arthropod predator movement from an alfalfa field to a peach orchard
(Biological Control, 2020-12-10)Implementation of landscape approaches to conservation biological control programs requires the confirmation of putative sources that contribute to predator colonization of crops. Several predator species ... -
Challenges of viticulture adaptation to global change: tackling the issue from the roots
(Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, 2020-12-08)Viticulture is facing emerging challenges not only because of the effect of climate change on yield and composition of grapes, but also of a social demand for environmental‐friendly agricultural management. ... -
Animal Welfare and Meat Quality Assessment in Gas Stunning during Commercial Slaughter of Pigs Using Hypercapnic-Hypoxia (20% CO2 2% O2) Compared to Acute Hypercapnia (90% CO2 in Air)
(Animals, 2020-12-20)Animals must be stunned before slaughter to avoid fear, pain, and distress. In pigs, the most extensively used method is exposure to hypercapnia (high (>80%) concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2)). ... -
Interactions among Myzus persicae, predators and parasitoids may hamper biological control in Mediterranean peach orchards
(Entomologia Generalis, 2020-09-21)The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a serious pests of peach trees. It has traditionally been managed with insecticides, but social concerns on insecticides use ... -
Effect of increasing lignin in isoenergetic diets at two soluble fibre levels on digestion, performance and carcass quality of growing rabbits
