The high-quality draft genome of peach (Prunus persica) identifies unique patterns of genetic diversity, domestication and genome evolution
(Nature Genetics, 2013-03-24)Rosaceae is the most important fruit-producing clade, and its key commercially relevant genera (Fragaria, Rosa, Rubus and Prunus) show broadly diverse growth habits, fruit types and compact diploid g ... -
Exploring patterns of variation in amphipod assemblages at multiple spatial scales: natural variability versus coastal aquaculture effect
(Aquaculture Environment Interactions (AEI), 2013-01-03)A 5-factor design survey was carried out to examine the spatial distribution at different scales of amphipod assemblages and sedimentary variables in soft bottoms adjacent to coastal aquaculture ... -
Exposure to a Low Pathogenic A/H7N2 Virus in Chickens Protects against Highly Pathogenic A/H7N1 Virus but Not against Subsequent Infection with A/H5N1
(PLoS ONE, 2013-03-04)Recent evidences have demonstrated that the presence of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIV) may play an important role in host ecology and transmission of avian influenza viruses (AIV). While ... -
Characterization In Vitro and In Vivo of a Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Virus from a Fatal Case
(PLoS ONE, 2013-01-10)Pandemic 2009 H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza viruses caused mild symptoms in most infected patients. However, a greater rate of severe disease was observed in healthy young adults and children without co-morbid ... -
Variability-specific differential gene expression across reproductive stages in sows
(Animal, 2013-10-11)Differential gene expression analyses typically focus on departures across mathematical expectations (i.e. mean) from two or more groups of microarrays, without considering alternative patterns of ... -
Polymorphism in the ELOVL6 Gene Is Associated with a Major QTL Effect on Fatty Acid Composition in Pigs
(PLoS ONE, 2013-01-14)Background: The ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6), the only elongase related to de novo lipogenesis, catalyzes the ratelimiting step in the elongation cycle by controlling the fatty acid balance in ... -
Prevalences of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus in mollusks from the Spanish Mediterranean Coast
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015-07-21)Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a well-recognized pathogen of humans. To better understand the ecology of the human-pathogenic variants of this bacterium in the environment, a study on the prevalence in ... -
The Cipher Code of Simple Sequence Repeats in “Vampire Pathogens”
(Scientific Reports, 2015-07-28)Blood inside mammals is a forbidden area for the majority of prokaryotic microbes; however, red blood cells tropism microbes, like “vampire pathogens” (VP), succeed in matching scarce nutrients and ... -
Use of re-esterified palm oils, differing in their acylglycerol structure, in weaning-piglet diets
(Animal, 2015-04-27)Re-esterified oils are new fat sources obtained from chemical esterification of acid oils with glycerol (both economically interesting by-products from oil refining and biodiesel industries, respectively). ... -
Efficacy of a live attenuated vaccine in classical swine fever virus postnatally persistently infected pigs
(Veterinary Research, 2015-07-09)Classical swine fever (CSF) causes major losses in pig farming, with various degrees of disease severity. Efficient live attenuated vaccines against classical swine fever virus (CSFV) are used routinely ... -
Effect of animal mixing as a stressor on biomarkers of autophagy and oxidative stress during pig muscle maturation
(Animal, 2015-04-08)The objective of this work was to study the postmortem evolution of potential biomarkers of autophagy (Beclin 1, LC3-II/LC3-I ratio) and oxidative stress (total antioxidant activity, TAA; superoxide ... -
High-density mapping suggests cytoplasmic male sterility with two restorer genes in almond x peach progenies
(Horticulture Research, 2015-05-06)Peach (Prunus persica) and almond (Prunus dulcis) are two sexually compatible species that produce fertile offspring. Almond, a highly polymorphic species, is a potential source of new genes for peach ... -
Use of re-esterified oils, differing in their degree of saturation and molecular structure, in broiler chicken diets
(Poultry Science, 2015-07-01)The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential use of re-esterified oils, differing in their degree of saturation and molecular structure, in comparison with their corresponding acid and ... -
Use of re-esterified palm oils, differing in their acylglycerol structure, in fattening pig diets
(Animal, 2015-07-02)Re-esterified oils are new fat sources obtained from the chemical esterification of acid oils with glycerol (both economically interesting by-products from oil refining and biodiesel industries, ... -
Use of combinations of re-esterified oils, differing in their degree of saturation, in broiler chicken diets
(Poultry Science, 2015-07-01)Re-esterified oils contain higher proportions of mono- and diacylglycerols, and also higher proportions of saturated fatty acids (SFA) at the sn-2 position of acylglycerol molecules than does a native ... -
