(Plant and Soil, 2019-11-30)Tuber melanosporum is an ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus from Mediterranean transitional ecosystems where ECM trees start to dominate among arbuscular-mycorrhizal (AM) shrubs and herbs (companion plants). ... -
Changes in landscape composition influence the abundance of insects on maize: The role of fruit orchards and alfalfa crops
(Agricultural, Ecosystems and Environment, 2020-01-10)The traditional agricultural landscape of Ebro Basin (NE Spain), which is mainly composed of alfalfa and cereal crops, has undergone changes in recent years, mainly consisting of an increase in the area ... -
A comprehensive genome variation map of melon identifies multiple domestication events and loci influencing agronomic traits
(Nature Genetics, 2019-11-01)Melon is an economically important fruit crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years; however, the genetic basis and history of its domestication still remain largely unknown. Here we report ... -
Indirect genetic effects on the relationships between production and feeding behaviour traits in growing Duroc pigs
(Animal, 2019-10-01)Performance and feeding behaviour traits in growing pigs could be affected by social interaction effects when animals are raised in group. So, properly knowing the genetic correlations between direct ... -
