Single-step genome-wide association study for social genetic effects and direct genetic effects on growth in Landrace pigs
(Scientific Reports, 2020-09-11)In livestock social interactions, social genetic effects (SGE) represent associations between phenotype of one individual and genotype of another. Such associations occur when the trait of interest is ... -
Social network analysis of agonistic behaviour and its association with economically important traits in pigs
(Animals, 2020-11-16)Aggression behaviour has several negative consequences on the performance and welfare of pigs. Here, the Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach was employed to (1) identify individual traits that describe ... -
Agronomic performance of durum wheat landraces and modern cultivars and its association with genotypic variation in vernalization response (Vrn-1) and photoperiod sensitivity (Ppd-1) genes
(European Journal of Agronomy, 2020-07-17)This study analyzed the relationship between important agronomic traits and major genes regulating flowering time in a panel of 151 Mediterranean durum wheat landraces and 20 modern cultivars. Field ... -
Cosmopolitan distribution of Endozoicomonas-like organisms and other intracellular microcolonies of bacteria causing infection in marine molluscs
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020-10-30)Intracellular microcolonies of bacteria, in some cases developing large extracellular cysts, have been historically reported infecting a wide diversity of economically important mollusc species worldwide, ... -
Ripening-related cell wall modifications in olive (Olea europaea L.) fruit: A survey of nine genotypes
(Food Chemistry, 2020-08-04)The production of olive (Olea europaea L.) is very important economically in many areas of the world, and particularly in countries around the Mediterranean basin. Ripening-associated modifications in ... -
Genetic variability of functional longevity in five rabbit lines
(Animal, 2020-01-22)The objectives of this study were to analyse the differences in the genetic determination of functional longevity in five Spanish lines of rabbits and to check how different systematic factors might ... -
Genome-enabled phylogenetic and functional reconstruction of an araphid pennate diatom Plagiostriata sp. CCMP470, previously assigned as a radial centric diatom, and its bacterial commensal
(Scientific Reports, 2020-06-10)Diatoms are an ecologically fundamental and highly diverse group of algae, dominating marine primary production in both open-water and coastal communities. The diatoms include both centric species, which ... -
Recruitment disruption and the role of unaffected populations for potential recovery after the Pinna nobilis mass mortality event
(Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020-10-29)A devastating mass mortality event (MME) very likely caused by the protozoan Haplosporidium pinnae first detected in 2016 in the Western Mediterranean Sea, is pushing the endemic bivalve Pinna nobilis ... -
Genetic analysis of functional longevity in a complete diallel crossing experiment involving four maternal rabbit lines
(Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2020-10-26)In a diallel cross between four maternal lines of rabbits, the four maternal lines and the corresponding crossbred females (does) were evaluated concerning functional longevity, estimating their ... -
Development of a novel metric for evaluating diatom assemblages in rivers using DNA metabarcoding
(Ecological Indicators, 2020-08-10)Fundamental differences in the nature of diatom assemblage composition data generated using light microscopy and molecular barcoding create problems when applying current paradigms and metrics developed ... -
Plant-based meat analogues: From niche to mainstream
(European Food Research and Technology, 2020-10-14)Meat analogues are gradually moving from niche to mainstream products. These products are gaining popularity due to surging consumer demand for plant-based products as “better for you” and “better for ... -
Fine mapping and identification of candidate genes for the peach powdery mildew resistance gene Vr3
(Horticulture Research, 2020-11-01)Powdery mildew is one of the major diseases of peach (Prunus persica), caused by the ascomycete Podosphaera pannosa. Currently, it is controlled through calendar-based fungicide treatments starting at ... -
Genomic differentiation among varieties of Iberian pig
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2020-02-26)Aim of study: The objective of this study was to identify the autosomal genomic regions associated with genetic differentiation between three commercial strains of Iberian pig. Area of study: Extremadura ... -
Whole-genome sequencing of European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds allows the detection of signatures of selection for adaptation of genetic resources to different breeding and production systems
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2020-06-26)Background Natural and artificial directional selection in cosmopolitan and autochthonous pig breeds and wild boars have shaped their genomes and resulted in a reservoir of animal genetic diversity. ... -
Ripe for reassessment: a synthesis of available molecular data for the speciose diatom family Bacillariaceae
(Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2020-10-13)The Bacillariaceae is a very species-rich family of raphid diatoms and includes the large and taxonomically difficult genus Nitzschia, whose species are often small-celled and finely structured and have ... -
