Molecular Marker Technology for Crop Improvement
(MDPI, 2020-09-24)
Since the 1980s, agriculture and plant breeding have changed with the development of molecular marker technology. In recent decades, different types of molecular markers have been used for different ...
Evaluation of a sanitizing washing step with different chemical disinfectants for the strawberry processing industry
(Elsevier, 2020-08-08)
Strawberries are often consumed fresh or only receive minimal processing, inducing a significant health risk to the consumer if contamination occurs anywhere from farm to fork. Outbreaks of foodborne ...
Point pattern analysis as a tool for assessing disease spread and population features in remaining sanctuaries of the critically endangered bivalve Pinna nobilis
(Elsevier, 2022-06-15)
An emergent disease has relegated populations of the Mediterranean pen shell, Pinna nobilis L. critically endangered to sanctuaries featuring salinities outside the 36.5 to 39 range. Point pattern ...
Integral procedure to predict bitter pit in ‘Golden Smoothee’ apples based on calcium content and symptom induction
(Elsevier, 2020-11-01)
Bitter pit has been described as one of the most important physiological disorders of apple fruit whose symptoms appear late in the season and during storage and which can cause high economic losses. ...
Selection and application of agri-environmental indicators to assess potential technologies for nutrient recovery in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-12-13)
The adverse effects of agriculture and livestock production on the environment are well-known and require mitigation in order to achieve sustainability in the food production chain. This study focused ...
The effect of spray‐dried porcine plasma on gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) intestinal microbiota
(Wiley, 2020-01-24)
The effect of spray‐dried porcine plasma (SDPP) on the intestinal histological organization and autochthonous microbiota composition was evaluated in Sparus aurata. Fish were fed a basal diet (51 g/kg ...
Genetic origin and climate determine fruit quality and antioxidant traits on apple (Malus x domestica Borkh)
(Elsevier, 2021-04-10)
Apples are highly appreciated in terms of flavor, nutritional and health-promoting compounds and are associated with a reduced risk to develop age-related and chronic diseases. In this study, 155 ...
Performance and environmental accounting of nutrient cycling models to estimate nitrogen emissions in agriculture and their sensitivity in life cycle assessment
(Springer, 2021-02-04)
Purpose
Several models are available in the literature to estimate agricultural emissions. From life cycle assessment (LCA) perspective, there is no standardized procedure for estimating emissions of ...
Metabolome and proteome changes in skeletal muscle and blood of pre-weaning calves fed leucine and threonine supplemented diets
(Elsevier, 2020-02-03)
In pre-weaning calves, both leucine and threonine play important roles in growth and muscle metabolism. In this study, metabolomics, proteomics and clinical chemistry were used to assess the effects of ...
Modelling physiological and environmental factors regulating relative fruit set and final fruit numbers in apple trees
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-02-19)
Chemical thinning of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) has been practised for 50 years but it remains an unpredictable part of apple production with large variations from year to year and within years. ...
