Individual Segmentation of Intertwined Apple Trees in a Row via Prompt Engineering
(Sensors, 2025-07-31)Computer vision is of wide interest to perform the phenotyping of horticultural crops such as apple trees at high throughput. In orchards specially constructed for variety testing or breeding programs, ... -
Deciphering host–pathogen dynamics in Mytilus galloprovincialis: immune responses to multiple infections with bacterial isolates from bivalve mortality outbreaks
(Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 2025-12-08)Bivalve aquaculture is facing several challenges due to disease outbreaks, that are often multifactorial and polymicrobial. Increasing evidence shows that initial infection by primary pathogens, or ... -
Spontaneous generation of diverse recombinant prion strains: sulfated glycan cofactors facilitate strain emergence but do not determine specific strain properties
(Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2025-12-03)Significant advances over the last two decades in the study of in vitro prion formation and propagation have revealed that distinct cofactors can facilitate or induce spontaneous prion misfolding. This, ... -
Long-term assessment of morphological and chemical diversity of landrace and bred almond cultivars for industrial applications
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2026-01-06)Almonds exhibit extensive genetic and phenotypic diversity, enabling their use across a wide range of applications. This diversity underscores the importance of evaluating almond germplasm for morphological, ... -
Understanding Flower Frost Tolerance in Almond (Prunus dulcis): The Role of Phenology, Cultivar and Sugars Content
(Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, 2025-06-23)Freezing temperatures during the flower and fruitlet stages are considered one of the most limiting factors for almond cultivation. Understanding the minimum temperature that reproductive organs can ... -
Revisiting Chilean gorgonians (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Gorgoniidae): taxonomic clarification and molecular phylogeny of Leptogorgia chilensis and Phycogorgia fucata
(Systematics and Biodiversity, 2025-12-15)Most biodiversity studies of eastern Pacific octocorals have focused on the tropical shallow waters from Mexico to Peru, and more recently, on those off Chile. The first description of a Chilean octocoral ... -
Auxospore fine structure and development in the surirelloid diatom Campylodiscus cf. neofastuosus (Bacillariophyta)
(Journal of Phycology, 2025-09-26)The development of the auxospore is reported in the surirelloid diatom Campylodiscus cf. neofastuosus. As in most pennate diatoms, growth of the auxospore is accompanied and constrained by the formation ... -
Nanoscale phycology
(Journal of Phycology, 2025-12-21)In 1980, the Sixth Symposium on Recent and Fossil Diatoms was held in Budapest, Hungary. It was the first opportunity many of us had to meet our colleagues from behind the “Iron Curtain” and an early ... -
Metagenomic survey reveals Volzhskoe tick virus in Hyalomma ticks for the first time in western Europe, North-Eastern Spain
(One Health, 2025-12-04)Ticks are reservoirs and vectors of several emerging arboviruses, yet their associated virome remains poorly characterized. Using meta-transcriptomic sequencing, we surveyed Hyalomma marginatum and ... -
Synaptic proteome diversity is shaped by the levels of glutamate receptors and their regulatory proteins
(Nature Communications, 2025-11-25)Synapses formed by equivalent pairs of pre- and postsynaptic neurons have similar electrophysiological characteristics, belonging to the same type. However, these are generally confined to microscopic ... -
The role of sandy environment in enhancing growth, cognition and reproduction in cultured Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) females
(Royal Society Open Science, 2026-01-28)Physical enrichment improves fish welfare and reduces negative traits in captivity. Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis), a key species in European aquaculture, is often raised in intensive fiberglass ... -
Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Physical Drivers of Chromosome Instability and Inflammatory Responses
(Small Structures, 2025-12-04)Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are widely used in industry; however, exposure to these fiber-like structures has beenassociated with acute and chronic toxicological effects. Upon inhalation, human ... -
