Development of a qPCR-based method for the detection of arthropod pests in stored rice
(Food Control, 2024-12-24)Stored products are vulnerable to arthropod pest infestations, threatening food security and causing production losses. Routine analyses are crucial for pest detection and management. Molecular diagnostic ... -
Evolution of microbiome composition, antibiotic resistance gene loads, and nitrification during the on-farm composting of the solid fraction of pig slurry using two bulking agents
(Environmental Research, 2023-12-16)Composting is a nature-based method used to stabilize organic matter and to transform nitrogen from animal farm manure or solid fraction of slurry (SFS). The use of composted material as source of ... -
Impact of irrigation, nitrogen fertilization, and plant density on stay-green and its effects on agronomic traits in maize
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2024-09-06)Introduction: The stay-green (SG) or delayed leaf senescence enables crop plants to maintain their green leaves and photosynthetic capacity for a longer time after flowering. It is considered an important ... -
Biological Control of Aphids in Spain’s Urban Green Spaces
(Sustainability, 2024-12-21)Green spaces in urban areas, such as parks and gardens, provide recreational, social, and health benefits for more than half of the world’s inhabitants. Arthropods in urban vegetation may cause some ... -
Utilizing conductive materials for reducing methane emissions in postharvest paddy rice soil microcosms
(Science of the Total Environment, 2025-01-02)Paddy fields are a major anthropogenic source of global methane (CH4) emissions, a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG). This study aimed at gaining insights of different organic and inorganic conductive ... -
Genetic mapping reveals a major locus for red leaf blotch tolerance in almond
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2024-12-17)Red leaf blotch (RLB) of almond, caused by the fungus Polystigma amygdalinum, is a common foliar disease in Mediterranean and Middle East countries. RLB symptoms are characterized by orange spots on ... -
Evaluation of sequence-based tools to gather more insight into the positioning of rhizogenic agrobacteria within the Agrobacterium tumefaciens species complex
(PLoS One, 2024-11-19)Rhizogenic Agrobacterium, the causative agent of hairy root disease (HRD), is known for its high phenotypic and genetic diversity. The taxonomy of rhizogenic agrobacteria has undergone several changes ... -
Assessment of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in exotic pets in Spain
(Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2024-12-06)Evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections in different animal species raises concerns about the potential for animal reservoirs and transmission to humans. Here, we evaluate the exposure of exotic pet species ... -
Shifting of food sources affect abundance of yeast like symbionts in Lasioderma serricorne (F.)
(Journal of Applied Entomology, 2024-06-12)Host diet is one of the key factors that shapes insect associated microbial communities, and the impact of dietary shift on abundance of microbial communities and insect fitness is poorly understood. ... -
