Nature’s contribution to people provided by pastoral systems across European, African, and Middle East Mediterranean countries: trends, approaches and gaps
(Regional Environmental Change, 2024-05-15)Mediterranean pastoral systems are providers of a wide array of Nature’s Contribution to People (NCP). They are ‘complex systems’ characterized by limited resources and socio-economic dynamics currently ... -
A consensus linkage map for molecular markers and Quantitative Trait Loci associated with economically important traits in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BMC Plant Biology, 2011-07-28)Background: A number of molecular marker linkage maps have been developed for melon (Cucumis melo L.) over the last two decades. However, these maps were constructed using different marker sets, thus, ... -
Syntenic relationships between cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and melon (C. melo L.) chromosomes as revealed by comparative genetic mapping
(BMC Genomics, 2011-08-05)Background: Cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. (2n = 2 × = 14) and melon, C. melo L. (2n = 2 × = 24) are two important vegetable species in the genus Cucumis (family Cucurbitaceae). Both species have an Asian ... -
Analysis of the melon (Cucumis melo) small RNAome by high-throughput pyrosequencing
(BMC Genomics, 2011-08-03)Background: Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a commercially important fruit crop that is cultivated worldwide. The melon research community has recently benefited from the determination of a complete draft ... -
Community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates inhabiting a highly stratified Mediterranean estuary
(Scientia Marina, 2011-09-30)The community composition and spatial distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates were studied along the Ebro estuary, a highly stratified estuary located in the NE Iberian Peninsula. During the last ... -
Characterization of porcine dendritic cell response to Streptococcus suis
(Veterinary Research, 2011-06-02)Streptococcus suis is a major swine pathogen and important zoonotic agent causing mainly septicemia and meningitis. However, the mechanisms involved in host innate and adaptive immune responses toward ... -
Mass Spectrometric Detection of Cholesterol Oxidation in Bovine Sperm
