Identification of an Immunosuppressive Cell Population during Classical Swine Fever Virus Infection and Its Role in Viral Persistence in the Host
(MDPI, 2019-09-04)
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains a highly important pathogen, causing major
losses in the swine industry. Persistent infection is highly relevant for CSFV maintenance in the field;
however, ...
Age-Related Serum Biochemical Reference Intervals Established for Unweaned Calves and Piglets in the Post-weaning Period
(Frontiers Media, 2019-04-24)
The purpose of the present study is to establish the influence of age on serum biochemistry reference intervals (RIs) for unweaned calves and recently-weaned piglets using large number of animals sampled ...
Hymenoptera Complex Associated with Myzus persicae and Hyalopterus spp. in Peach Orchards in Northeastern Spain and Prospects for Biological Control of Aphids
(MDPI, 2019-04-16)
Aphids are a serious pest for peach crops. They have traditionally been managed with
insecticides, but there is increasing concern about the risk that insecticides pose to both humans
and the environment. ...
Economic profitability of agroforestry in nitrate vulnerable zones in Catalonia (NE Spain)
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2019-02-04)
The impact of agricultural practices and the excess application of nitrogen can negatively impact the environment and cause human health problems. In Spain, the liquid manure applied in areas of intensive ...
Stressors due to handling impair gut immunity in meagre (Argyrosomus regius): the compensatory role of dietary L-Tryptophan
(Frontiers Media, 2019-05-10)
In the context of intensive aquaculture, meagre (Argyrosomus regius) is one of the most important new aquaculture species in Southern Europe and several studies are focused on the optimization of its ...
Variation in aquaporin and physiological responses among Pinus contorta families under different moisture conditions
(MDPI, 2019-01-06)
A population of eight open pollinated families of Pinus contorta was selected from
sites varying in precipitation regimes and elevation to examine the possible role of aquaporins
in adaptation to ...
Transposons played a major role in the diversification between the closely related almond and peach genomes: Results from the almond genome sequence
(Wiley, 2019-09-16)
We sequenced the genome of the highly heterozygous almond Prunus dulcis cv. Texas combining short and long‐read sequencing. We obtained a genome assembly totaling 227.6 Mb of the estimated 238 Mb almond ...
High prevalence and diversity of extended-spectrum β-lactamase and emergence of OXA-48 producing Enterobacterales in wildlife in Catalonia
(Public Library of Science, 2019-08-05)
Most of the studies focused on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) performed in wildlife describe
Escherichia coli as the principal indicator of the selective pressure. In the present study, several species ...
Transgenic solutions to increase yield and stability in wheat: shining hope or flash in the pan?
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03-11)
Second-generation transgenic crops have the potential to transform agriculture, but progress has been limited, and particularly so in wheat where no transgenic cultivar has yet been approved. Taking on ...
Effect of allele combinations at Ppd‐1 loci on durum wheat grain filling at contrasting latitudes
(Wiley, 2019-09-15)
Flowering time is the most critical developmental stage in wheat, as it determines environmental conditions during grain filling. Thirty‐five spring durum genotypes carrying all ...
