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 ...
Targeted metabolic profiling of the revived ancient ‘Corbella’ olive cultivar during early maturation
(Elsevier, 2023-07-26)
‘Corbella’ is an ancient olive cultivar whose cultivation has recently been revived and hence little is known about
its composition. This is the first work studying the metabolic profile of ‘Corbella’ ...
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 ...
Short Communication: The biological value of transition milk: analyses of Immunoglobulin G, IGF-I and Lactoferrin in primiparous and multiparous dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2023-05-24)
Colostrum (the first mammary gland secretion after calving) is known to contain high concentrations of nutrients as well as bioactive substances (including immunoglobulins, growth factors, and antimicrobial ...
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 ...
Cultivar differences in the hormonal crosstalk regulating apple fruit development and ripening: relationship with flavour components and postharvest susceptibility to Penicillium expansum
(Elsevier, 2023-08-17)
The hormonal interplay during the on-tree development and ripening of three apple cultivars with known differences in their postharvest ripening patterns was studied, at the biochemical and targeted ...
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 ...
Interrelation between gut microbiota, SCFA, and fatty acid composition in pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-12-14)
The gut microbiota is a key player in the host metabolism. Some bacteria are able to ferment non-digestible compounds and produce short-chain fatty acids that the host can later transform and accumulate ...
Biocontrol efficacy of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01 against post-harvest pathogens of fruits
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-09-01)
This work aimed to broaden the spectrum biocontrol activity of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01. Inhibition of postharvest pathogens, viz., Alternaria alternata, Penicillium italicum, P. digitatum, ...
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 ...
