Neurohypophysial and paracrine vasopressinergic signaling regulates aquaporin trafficking to hydrate marine teleost oocytes
(Frontiers, 2023-08-11)
The dual aquaporin (Aqp1ab1/Aqp1ab2)-mediated hydration of marine teleost eggs, which occurs during oocyte meiosis resumption (maturation), is considered a key adaptation underpinning their evolutionary ...
Hippocampal neurogenesis and Arc expression are enhanced in high-fat fed prepubertal female pigs by a diet including omega-3 fatty acids and Bifidobacterium breve CECT8242
(Springer, 2023-05-06)
Obesity during childhood has become a pandemic disease, mainly caused by a diet rich in sugars and fatty acids. Among other negative effects, these diets can induce cognitive impairment and reduce ...
Changes in cortisol and cortisone in hair of pigs reared under heat stress conditions
(Frontiers Media, 2023-07-18)
Heat stress accounts for millions of dollars in losses for swine producers
worldwide. The aim of the present study was to determine and evaluate cortisol
and cortisone in hair as indicators of thermal ...
Fruit sizing using AI: A review of methods and challenges
(Elsevier, 2023-09-23)
Fruit size at harvest is an economically important variable for high-quality table fruit production in orchards and vineyards. In addition, knowing the number and size of the fruit on the tree is essential ...
Development and Genome-Wide Analysis of a Blast-Resistant japonica Rice Variety
(MDPI, 2023-10-11)
Rice is one of the most important crops in the world, and its production is severely affected by the rice blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Several major blast resistance genes and ...
Impact of the Parasitoids Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) and Lariophagus distinguendus (Förster) on Three Pests of Stored Rice
(MDPI, 2023-04-03)
Various pest species cause significant damage to stored rice, and polyphagous parasitoids could offer an appropriate biological control strategy. Among the beneficial species colonising silos and ...
An LTR retrotransposon in the promoter of a PsMYB10.2 gene associated with the regulation of fruit f lesh color in Japanese plum
(Oxford University Press, 2022-09-13)
Japanese plums exhibit wide diversity of fruit coloration. The red to black hues are caused by the accumulation of anthocyanins, while their absence results in yellow, orange or green fruits. In Prunus, ...
Looking behind occlusions: A study on amodal segmentation for robust on-tree apple fruit size estimation
(Elsevier, 2023-04-21)
The detection and sizing of fruits with computer vision methods is of interest because it provides relevant information to improve the management of orchard farming. However, the presence of partially ...
Retos y oportunidades para la evaluación del estado ecológico en ríos temporales
(Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre, 2024-03-06)
Los ríos temporales (RTs) son ecosistemas fluviales en los que los efectos de las perturbaciones antrópicas se mezclan con los de la propia perturbación natural que impone la temporalidad del flujo. A ...
Reducing Stocking Densities and Using Cooling Systems for More Adapted Pigs to High Temperatures When Reared in Intensive Conditions
(MDPI, 2023-07-27)
This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of reducing stocking density and using cooling systems to mitigate the negative effects of high temperatures in growing pigs (females and castrated males) ...
