(Journal of Experimental Botany, 2010-09-17)The role of root systems in drought tolerance is a subject of very limited information compared with above-ground responses. Adjustments to the ability of roots to supply water relative to shoot ... -
Aquaporin evolution in fishes
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2011-07-26)Aquaporins represent a primordial group of transmembrane solvent channels that have been documented throughout the living biota. This facet alone emphasizes the positive selection pressure for proteins ... -
Assessment of unconsciousness in pigs during exposure to nitrogen and carbon dioxide mixtures
(Animal, 2012-10-26)The aim of this study was to assess unconsciousness in pigs during and after the exposure to gas mixtures of 70% nitrogen (N2) and 30% carbon dioxide (CO2) (70N30C), 80% N2 and 20% CO2 (80N20C) and 85% ... -
Role of aquaporins during teleost gametogenesis and early embryogenesis
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2011-09-30)Aquaporins are believed to be involved in homeosmotic mechanisms of marine teleosts. Increasing data suggest that these molecular water channels play critical roles associated with the adaptation of ... -
Trans-Generational Effect of Maternal Lactation during Pregnancy: A Holstein Cow Model
(PLoS ONE, 2012-12-20)Epigenetic regulation in mammals begins in the first stages of embryogenesis. This prenatal programming determines, in part, phenotype expression in adult life. Some species, particularly dairy cattle, ... -
Mediterranean clonal selections evaluated for modern hedgerow olive oil production in Spain
(California Agriculture, 2011-01-01)Traditional olive oil production is limited by its high cost, mainly due to labor expenses for harvesting and pruning. A new olive planting system based on hedgerows and harvesting machines could ... -
Phytogenics enhance welfare and vaccine efficacy against Vibrio anguillarum in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) juveniles
(Aquaculture, 2024-02-24)Disease prevention is pivotal in aquaculture, and while vaccines offer protective immunity, challenges such as cost and low efficacy persist. The present study investigated the potential of plant-derived ... -
An In-Depth Study on the Inhibition of Quorum Sensing by Bacillus velezensis D-18: Its Significant Impact on Vibrio Biofilm Formation in Aquaculture
(Microorganisms, 2024-04-29)Amid growing concerns about antibiotic resistance, innovative strategies are imperative in addressing bacterial infections in aquaculture. Quorum quenching (QQ), the enzymatic inhibition of quorum ... -
