Exploring thermosonication as non-chemical disinfection technology for strawberries
(Springer, 2021-11-27)
The scope of this work was to study the efcacy of the combination of sonication at 35 or 130 kHz with three temperature treatments: 20, 50 and 55 ºC, on the population of artifcially inoculated Listeria ...
A literature review as an aid to identify strategies for mitigating ostreid herpesvirus 1 in Crassostrea gigas hatchery and nursery systems
(Wiley, 2018-03-30)
An understanding of husbandry strategies and any associated risk factors is important for designing management control measures that can reduce mortality in Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, caused ...
Prevalence and lameness-associated risk factors in Alberta feedlot cattle
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03-13)
Lameness in cattle is a health and welfare concern; however, limited information is available on risk factors and the relationship between lameness and common diseases like bovine respiratory disease ...
The biological potential hidden in inclusion bodies
(MDPI, 2020-02-15)
Inclusion bodies (IBs) are protein nanoclusters obtained during recombinant protein production processes, and several studies have demonstrated their potential as biomaterials for therapeutic protein ...
Pedigree analysis of 220 almond genotypes reveals two world mainstream breeding lines based on only three different cultivars
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-01)
Loss of genetic variability is an increasing challenge in tree breeding programs due to the repeated use of a reduced number of founder genotypes. However, in almond, little is known about the genetic ...
First report of Erysiphe corylacearum causing powdery mildew on Corylus avellana in Spain
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-09-24)
In the Mediterranean basin area, powdery mildew disease on hazelnut is commonly caused by Phyllactinia guttata. The disease occurs in late summer-autumn causing limited damage or economic impact. In ...
Biomarkers of Deoxynivalenol Toxicity in Chickens with Special Emphasis on Metabolic and Welfare Parameters
(MDPI, 2021-03-17)
Deoxynivalenol (DON), a trichothecene mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, is the most widespread mycotoxin in poultry feed worldwide. Long term-exposure from low to moderate DON concentrations can ...
Unravelling opportunities, synergies, and barriers for enhancing silvopastoralism in the Mediterranean
(Elsevier, 2022-04-16)

Advances in Rootstock Breeding of Nut Trees: Objectives and Strategies
(MDPI, 2021-10-20)
The production and consumption of nuts are increasing in the world due to strong economic returns and the nutritional value of their products. With the increasing role and importance given to nuts (i.e., ...
A new generation of recombinant polypeptides combines multiple protein domains for effective antimicrobial activity
(BMC, 2020-06-05)
Background
Although most of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), being relatively short, are produced by chemical synthesis, several AMPs have been produced using recombinant technology. However, AMPs could ...
