Functional inclusion bodies produced in the yeast Pichia pastoris
(Microbial Cell Factories, 2016-10-01)Background: Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) are non‑toxic protein aggregates commonly produced in recombinant bacteria. They are formed by a mixture of highly stable amyloid‑like fibrils and releasable ... -
Extended methane mitigation capacity of a mid-season drainage beyond the rice growing season: a case in Spain
(Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022-08-05)Rice cultivation is a major source of methane (CH4) emissions. Intermittent irrigation systems in rice cultivation, such as the mid-season drainage (MSD), are effective strategies to mitigate CH4 emissions ... -
Genetic Structure of Modern Durum Wheat Cultivars and Mediterranean Landraces Matches with Their Agronomic Performance
(PLoS ONE, 2016-08-11)A collection of 172 durum wheat landraces from 21 Mediterranean countries and 20 modern cultivars were phenotyped in 6 environments for 14 traits including phenology, biomass, yield and yield omponents. ... -
Changes in durum wheat root and aerial biomass caused by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation
(Plant and Soil, 2016-01-27)Aims This study aimed to quantify the changes in root and aerial biomass of durum wheat brought about by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation. Methods A ... -
Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Scientific Reports, 2016-08-18)The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ... -
Ecodesign of new circular economy scheme for Brewer's side streams
(Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy, 2022-05-25)When designing a new circular economy system, many aspects must be considered in order to benefit from all possible environmental improvements. The selection of the right market or use of the resulting ... -
Crossbreeding effects on rabbit reproduction from four maternal lines of rabbits
(Animal, 2016-01-07)Litter size is essential for an efficient production of rabbit meat. A diallel cross between four maternal lines was carried out and the analysis of the components of litter size has been already done. ... -
A proposal of nitrogen balance in a very high density olive orchard
(Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, 2016-05-01)The nitrogen (N) balance was estimated in a very high density olive orchard in north- east of Spain, in order to calculate the inputs and outputs of N related to tree response and soil nitrogen availability. ... -
Multi‑breed and multi‑trait co‑association analysis of meat tenderness and other meat quality traits in three French beef cattle breeds
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2016-04-23)Background: Studies to identify markers associated with beef tenderness have focused on Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) but the interplay between the genes associated with WBSF has not been explored. ... -
