Exploring large-scale gene coexpression networks in peach (Prunus persica L.): a new tool for predicting gene function
(Oxford University Press, 2024-01-02)
Peach is a model for Prunus genetics and genomics, however, identifying and validating genes associated to peach breeding traits is a
complex task. A gene coexpression network (GCN) capable of capturing ...

(Nature, 2019-02-25)
Disease is an increasing threat for marine bivalves worldwide. Recently, a mass mortality event (MME) impacting the bivalve Pinna nobilis was detected across a wide geographical area of the Spanish ...
An In-Depth Study on the Inhibition of Quorum Sensing by Bacillus velezensis D-18: Its Significant Impact on Vibrio Biofilm Formation in Aquaculture
(MDPI, 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 ...
Effects of different comercial coatings on postharvest citrus fruit quality for export
(Universidad de la República Facultad de Agronomía (Uruguay), 2021-02-10)
Abstract The use of fruit coatings aims to avoid dehydration, minimize the occurrence of spots in the peel and weight loss as well as extend the postharvest life maintaining fruit appearance. The objective ...
Acetylated pectins in raw and heat processed carrots
(Elsevier, 2017-08-30)
Heat processing results in softening of carrots, changing the pectin structure. The effect of heat processing on pectin was studied, showing that the amount of pectin in water soluble solids (WSS) and ...
Towards the Combination of C2RCC Processors for Improving Water Quality Retrieval in Inland and Coastal Areas
(MDPI, 2022-02-24)
Sentinel-2 offers great potential for monitoring water quality in inland and coastal waters. However, atmospheric correction in these waters is challenging, and there is no standardized approach yet, ...
