Approaches to conserving natural enemy populations in greenhouse crops: current methods and future prospects
(BioControl, 2014-05-08)Biological pest control in greenhouse crops is usually based on periodical releases of mass-produced natural enemies, and this method has been successfully applied for decades. However, in some cases ... -
Souffle/Spastizin Controls Secretory Vesicle Maturation during Zebrafish Oogenesis
(PLoS Genetics, 2014-06-26)During oogenesis, the egg prepares for fertilization and early embryogenesis. As a consequence, vesicle transport is very active during vitellogenesis, and oocytes are an outstanding system to study ... -
Neuroinvasion of the Highly Pathogenic Influenza Virus H7N1 Is Caused by Disruption of the Blood Brain Barrier in an Avian Model
(PLoS ONE, 2014-12-15)Influenza A virus (IAV) causes central nervous system (CNS) lesions in avian and mammalian species, including humans. However, the mechanism used by IAV to invade the brain has not been determined. In ... -
Dose-dependent effect of a single GnRHa injection on the spawning of meagre (Argyrosomus regius) broodstock reared in captivity
(Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014-10-27)The present study aimed to determine the spawning efficacy, egg quality and quantity of captive breed meagre induced with a single gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) injection of 0, 1, 5, ... -
Genetic analysis of slaughter and carcass quality traits in crossbred rabbits coming from a diallel cross of four maternal lines
(World Rabbit Science, 2015-12-23)An experiment was carried out to estimate the genetic group effects and the crossbreeding genetic parameters of slaughter and carcass traits using data on the rabbits that were progeny of does coming from ... -
Long-Term Dynamics of Bluetongue Virus in Wild Ruminants: Relationship with Outbreaks in Livestock in Spain, 2006-2011
(PLoS ONE, 2014-06-18)Wild and domestic ruminants are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection. Three BTV serotypes (BTV-4, BTV-1 and BTV-8) have been detected in Spain in the last decade. Even though control Strategies ... -
The 2-C-methylerythritol 4-phosphate pathway in melon is regulated by specialized isoforms for the first and last steps
(Journal of Experimental Botany, 2014-07-10)The 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway provides the precursors for the biosynthesis of plastidial isoprenoids, which include the carotenoid pigments of many fruits. We have analysed the ... -
Hybrid Electronic Tongues Applied to the Quality Control of Wines
(Journal of Sensors, 2014-09-10)The legislation of food industry is becoming increasingly strict with regard to the quality of food products. Therefore, the market is demanding for automatic systems of analysis that allow fast and ... -
