ZmXTH1, a new xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/ hydrolase in maize, affects cell wall structure and composition in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Journal of Experimental Botany, 2008-03-02)Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolases (XTHs; EC 2.4.1.207 and/or EC 3.2.1.151) are enzymes involved in the modification of cell wall structure by cleaving and, often, also re-joining xyloglucan ... -
Response of peach trees to regulated deficit irrigation during stage II of fruit development and summer pruning
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2008-09-01)Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) during stage II of fruit development and summer pruning (watersprout removal, WSR) can be used to control excessive vegetative growth in high-density peach orchards. ... -
The influence of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon subareolatus on growth and nutrient element localisation in two varieties of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii and var. glauca) in response to manganese stress
(Mycorrhiza, 2008-04-24)Acidification of forest ecosystems leads to increased plant availability of the micronutrient manganese (Mn), which is toxic when taken up in excess. To investigate whether ectomycorrhizas protect ... -
An updated phylogeography and population dynamics of porcine circovirus 2 genotypes: are they reaching an equilibrium?
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2024-10-29)Introduction: Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) emerged more than three decades ago as one of the most impactful pathogens in the swine industry. Despite being a DNA virus, one of the hallmarks of PCV2 is its ... -
Proteomics of circulating extracellular vesicles reveals diverse clinical presentations of COVID-19 but fails to identify viral peptides
(Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2024-11-06)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by virus-infected cells have the potential to encapsulate viral peptides, a characteristic that could facilitate vaccine development. Furthermore, plasma-derived ... -
Pork quality and histological properties of longissimus muscle from boars and early and late immunocastrated pigs
(Meat Science, 2024-10-18)Immunocastration has been introduced in pig production to reduce boar taint. However, there is not much information on how different schedule of immunocastration affects meat quality, especially muscle ... -
