Airborne Thermal Imagery to Detect the Seasonal Evolution of Crop Water Status in Peach, Nectarine and Saturn Peach Orchards
(Remote Sensing, 2016-01-05)In the current scenario of worldwide limited water supplies, conserving water is a major concern in agricultural areas. Characterizing within-orchard spatial heterogeneity in water requirements would ... -
Genome and transcriptome analysis of the Mesoamerican common bean and the role of gene duplications in establishing tissue and temporal specialization of genes
(Genome Biology, 2016-02-25)Background: Legumes are the third largest family of angiosperms and the second most important crop class. Legume genomes have been shaped by extensive large-scale gene duplications, including an ... -
Auto-Adhesion Potential of Extraocular Aqp0 during Teleost Development
(PLoS ONE, 2016-05-06)AQP0 water channels are the most abundant proteins expressed in the mammalian lens fiber membranes where they are essential for lens development and transparency. Unlike other aquaporin paralogs, mammalian ... -
Use of high concentrations of carbon dioxide for stunning rabbits reared for meat production
(World Rabbit Science, 2016-03-22)An investigation was performed to determine whether high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) at 70-98% in atmospheric air are a suitable alternative for stunning rabbits compared to conventional approaches ... -
Methodological guidance for the development of animal welfare mandates in the context of the Farm to Fork Strategy
(EFSA Journal, 2022-07-12)This document provides methodological guidance developed by the EFSA Panel on Animal Health and Welfare to produce Scientific Opinions in response to mandates received from the European Commission in ... -
Pig cognitive bias affects the conversion of muscle into meat by antioxidant and autophagy mechanisms
(Animal, 2017-04-18)Slaughter is a crucial step in the meat production chain that could induce psychological stress on each animal, resulting in a physiological response that can differ among individuals. The aim of this ... -
QTL Analyses in Multiple Populations Employed for the Fine Mapping and Identification of Candidate Genes at a Locus Affecting Sugar Accumulation in Melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017-09-26)Sugar content is the major determinant of both fruit quality and consumer acceptance in melon (Cucumis melo L), and is a primary target for crop improvement. Nearisogenic lines (NILs) derived from the ... -
CXCR4+-targeted protein nanoparticles produced in the food-grade bacterium Lactococcus lactis
(Nanomedicine, 2016-08-16)Aim: Lactococcus lactis is a Gram-positive (endotoxin-free) food-grade bacteria exploited as alternative to Escherichia coli for recombinant protein production. We have explored here for the first time ... -
Genetic analysis of the wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) volatile composition
(Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017-10-25)The volatile composition of wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) fruit differs from that of the cultivated strawberry, having more intense and fruity aromas. Over the last few years, the diploid F. vesca ... -
Predicted Release and Analysis of Novel ACE-I, Renin, and DPP-IV Inhibitory Peptides from Common Oat (Avena sativa) Protein Hydrolysates Using in Silico Analysis
(Foods, 2017-12-04)The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in regulating hypertension by controlling vasoconstriction and intravascular fluid volume. RAAS itself is largely regulated by the ... -
Consequences of supplying methyl donors during pregnancy on the methylome of the offspring from lactating and non-lactating dairy cattle
