Sampling forest soils to describe fungal diversity and composition. Which is the optimal sampling size in mediterranean pure and mixed pine oak forests?
(Fungal Biology, 2021-01-23)Soil sampling is a critical step affecting perceived fungal diversity, however sampling optimization for high-throughput-DNA sequencing studies have never been tested in Mediterranean forest ecosystems. ... -
Genetic dissection of aroma biosynthesis in melon and its relationship with climacteric ripening
(Food Chemistry, 2021-03-05)Aroma is an essential trait in melon fruit quality, but its complexity and genetic basis are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) ... -
Detection and monitoring of Drosophila suzukii in raspberry and cherry orchards with volatile organic compounds in the USA and Europe
(Scientific Reports, 2021-03-25)Spotted wing drosophila (SWD) causes significant economic loss in fruit crops to growers worldwide. There is immediate need for efficacious and selective monitoring tools that can detect infestations ... -
Stable isotope analyses reveal major nutritional deficiencies in captive vs. field juvenile individuals of Pinna nobilis
(Marine Environmental Research, 2021-03-16)The pen shell, Pinna nobilis L. is critically endangered by the spread of a haplosporidan parasite. Stable isotopes have been shown an association with dietary assimilation, trophic level, and body ... -
Molecular and biochemical differences underlying the efficacy of lovastatin in preventing the onset of superficial scald in a susceptible and resistant Pyrus communis L. cultivar
(Postharvest Biology and Technoogy, 2020-12-24)The molecular and biochemical events underlying the onset of superficial scald in two pear cultivars with different susceptibility (‘Blanquilla’ and ‘Conference’) was investigated in fruit untreated and ... -
Unravelling the cold-induced regulation of ethylene and α-farnesene and its involvement with the development of scald-like disorders in different pear cultivars
(Postharvest Biology and Technoogy, 2020-12-26)To better understand the cold-induced regulation of scald-like disorders in pears and the specific roles played by ethylene and α-farnesene, three pear cultivars with different patterns of ethylene ... -
Efficacy of recombinant Marek’s disease virus vectored vaccines with computationally optimized broadly reactive antigen (COBRA) hemagglutinin insert against genetically diverse H5 high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses
(Vaccine, 2021-03-11)The genetic and antigenic drift associated with the high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of Goose/Guangdong (Gs/GD) lineage and the emergence of vaccine-resistant field viruses underscores ... -
Influence on the implementation of biosecurity measures in dairy cattle farms: Communication between veterinarians and dairy farmers
(Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2021-03-18)This study was carried out in two regions in Spain (Catalonia and Galicia) through eight focus groups; four for dairy farmers and four for veterinarians. The results showed that dairy farmers and ... -
SARS-CoV-2 infection elicits a rapid neutralizing antibody response that correlates with disease severity
(Scientific Reports, 2021-01-28)The protective effect of neutralizing antibodies in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals is not yet well defined. To address this issue, we have analyzed the kinetics of neutralizing antibody responses and ... -
Fatty acid composition and parasitism of European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) populations in the northern Catalan Sea in the context of changing environmental conditions
(Conservation Physiology, 2020-12-29)The status of sardine and anchovy populations in the northern Mediterranean Sea has been declining in recent decades. In this study, fatty acids and parasitism at different reproductive and feeding ... -
Risk management tool to define a corrective storage to enhance Salmonella inactivation in dry fermented sausages
(International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2021-03-16)The resistance of Salmonella to the harsh conditions occurring in shelf-stable dry fermented sausages (DFS) poses a food safety challenge for producers. The present study aimed to model the behaviour ... -
Planting period is the main factor for controlling maize rough dwarf disease
(Scientific Reports, 2021-01-13)Maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV) is one of the main yield-limiting factors of maize in the Mediterranean. However, knowledge about the interactions between the agroecosystem and the virus–vector–host ... -
