CXCR4+-targeted protein nanoparticles produced in the food-grade bacterium Lactococcus lactis
(Future Science Group, 2016-08-16)
Aim: Lactococcus lactis is a Gram-positive (endotoxin-free) food-grade bacteria exploited as alternative to Escherichia coli for recombinant protein production. We have explored here for the first time ...
A proposal of nitrogen balance in a very high density olive orchard
(El Oued University, 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. ...
Airborne Thermal Imagery to Detect the Seasonal Evolution of Crop Water Status in Peach, Nectarine and Saturn Peach Orchards
(MDPI, 2016-01-05)
In the current scenario of worldwide limited water supplies, conserving water is a major concern in agricultural areas. Characterizing within-orchard spatial heterogeneity in water requirements would ...

(Wiley Open Access, 2016-08-09)
In order to assess the effects on disease spread and persistence of partial stamping out of only
clinically affected animals in holdings where the presence of lumpy skin disease has been confirmed,
against ...
Genetic Diversity and Association Mapping for Agromorphological and Grain Quality Traits of a Structured Collection of Durum Wheat Landraces Including subsp. durum, turgidum and diccocon
(Public Library of Science, 2016-11-15)
Association mapping was performed for 18 agromorphological and grain quality traits in a set of 183 Spanish landraces, including subspecies durum, turgidum and dicoccon, genotyped with 749 DArT (Diversity ...
Genome and transcriptome analysis of the Mesoamerican common bean and the role of gene duplications in establishing tissue and temporal specialization of genes
(BMC, 2016-02-25)
Background: Legumes are the third largest family of angiosperms and the second most important crop class. Legume genomes have been shaped by extensive large-scale gene duplications, including an ...
Assessing the health status of managed honeybee colonies (HEALTHY-B): a toolbox to facilitate harmonised data collection
(Wiley Open Access, 2016-10-25)
Tools are provided to assess the health status of managed honeybee colonies by facilitating further
harmonisation of data collection and reporting, design of field surveys across the European Union ...
Auto-Adhesion Potential of Extraocular Aqp0 during Teleost Development
(Public Library of Science, 2016-05-06)
AQP0 water channels are the most abundant proteins expressed in the mammalian lens fiber membranes where they are essential for lens development and transparency. Unlike other aquaporin paralogs, mammalian ...
Spray dried plasma as an alternative to antibiotics in piglet feeds, mode of action and biosafety
(BMC, 2016-07-23)
The use of growth promoting and therapeutic antibiotics in piglet feed has been a concerning subject over the last few decades because of the risk of generating antimicrobial resistance that could be ...
Short communication: Emergence of a new race of leaf rust with combined virulence to Lr14a and Lr72 genes on durum wheat
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2016-08-31)
Leaf rust is a foliar disease caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina that may severely reduce durum wheat yield. Resistance to this pathogen is common in modern durum germplasm but is frequently based ...
