Using transcriptomic data to improve the prediction of immunity traits in pigs
Considering health-related traits among breeding selection criteria has been proposed as a way to improve pig robustness. This study investigated the potential of whole blood RNA-sequencing data for predicting immunity-related ...
Predicting EU orchard farmers' adoption intentions for pesticide-reducing innovations using an extended theory of planned behavior
Reducing synthetic pesticide use is central to the EU Green Deal. However, with legislative progress stalled, farmers increasingly bear the responsibility for implementing pesticide reduction. This highlights the need to ...
All that glitters is not gold: towards the standardization of experimental trials assessing functional feeds with immunomodulatory properties
Functional feeds designed to enhance the host’s immune response and improve disease resistance are among the most popular strategies to mitigate the impact of infectious diseases and abiotic stressors in aquaculture. While ...
Brassinosteroids in Cucurbits: Modulators of Plant Growth Architecture and Stress Response
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that are essential for plant growth, development, and environmental adaptation. They control the division, elongation, and differentiation of various cell types throughout the ...
Performance of ‘Honeycrisp’ Apple Trees on Several Size-Controlling Rootstocks in the 2014 NC-140 Rootstock Trial after Ten Years
In 2014, a multi-year orchard experiment of apple Malus x domestica (Borkh) was established at 13 locations in Canada, Mexico, and the United States using ‘Honeycrisp’ as the scion. Seventeen dwarf and semi-dwarf rootstock ...
Activation of alternative oxidase ensures carbon supply for ethylene and carotenoid biosynthesis during tomato fruit ripening
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a climacteric fruit displaying a respiration peak at the onset of ripening accompanied by increased synthesis of ethylene and carotenoid pigments. Chromoplast and mitochondrial respiration ...
Effects of Lacticaseibacillus casei fermentation on the physicochemical, nutritional, volatile, and sensory profile of synbiotic peach and grape juice during refrigerated storage
Both the application of probiotics and fermentation offer great potential in developing functional foods and, therefore, interesting health benefits. This study aimed to develop a synbiotic peach and grape juice (PGJ) ...
Agronomic management strategies to mitigate almond orchard water stress under drought and irrigation shortages
Climate change and reduced water availability increasingly threaten agricultural productivity, especially in Mediterranean regions facing recurrent drought and irrigation restrictions. This study assessed several agronomic ...
Knowledge gaps in research and control of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) infections
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) remains one of the most important pathogens in swine production, associated with a spectrum of clinical conditions collectively termed PCV2-associated diseases. Despite the remarkable success ...
From genomes to hologenomes: integrating host and microbiome data for complex trait prediction in livestock and aquaculture
Over recent decades, global livestock and aquaculture systems have significantly increased protein production, largely driven by advancements in nutrition, health management, and selective breeding programs. The integration ...
Unraveling key environmental drivers and microbial key players in the rhizosphere of mature golf course putting greens
Unraveling the role of environmental drivers and native microbial communities in sandy soils of golf course putting greens is imperative for more sustainable turf management practices. In this project, the soil rhizosphere ...
Industry stakeholders attitudes and beliefs about tail biting and docking in pigs – A case study in Switzerland and Spain
Background Tail docking is still widely used in major European pig-producing countries despite efforts to ban it. The present study aimed to understand the attitudes and beliefs of pig farming professionals in Spain and ...
Guiding eQTL mapping and genomic prediction of gene expression in three pig breeds with tissue-specific epigenetic annotations from early development
Gene expression is a dynamic phenotype influenced by tissue-specific regulatory mechanisms, which can modulate expression directly or indirectly through cis or trans factors. Identifying genetic variants in these regulatory ...
Comprehensive MSI-based protocols for the spatial lipidomics characterization of microscale organisms
Spatial omics technologies are essential for characterizing molecular disruptions induced by pathological conditions or environmental stressors while preserving the native spatial context of biomolecules. Among these, mass ...
In Vitro Efficacy of Albendazole Against the Metacestode Parvitaenia cochlearii (Cestoda), a Parasite of the Pacific Fat Sleeper (Dormitator latifrons)
Cestode infestations in cultured fish have resulted in significant economic problems associated with international trade. Pharmacological treatments containing albendazole (ABZ) represent a promising alternative for ...
Individual Segmentation of Intertwined Apple Trees in a Row via Prompt Engineering
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, computer vision ...
Culturomics Reveals Microbial Dynamics in the AppleCarposphere Across Developmental Stages, Altitude andTissue Types
The apple carposphere harbours a diverse community of microorganisms that could play a crucial role in fruit health andpostharvest preservation. While culture‐independent techniques have advanced our understanding of the ...
Examination of type material links Pyxidicula compressa with Nitzschia granulata but cannot establish whether they are conspecific
It has recently been questioned whether Tryblionella compressa (Bailey) Poulin (formerly Pyxidicula compressa Bailey, then Nitzschia compressa (Bailey) Boyer) has been correctly interpreted. In the past, it has even been ...
Construction of a Multitissue Cell Atlas Reveals Cell-Type-Specific Regulation of Molecular and Complex Phenotypes in Pigs
The systematic characterization of cellular heterogeneity among tissues and cell-type-specific regulation underlying complex phenotypes remains elusive in pigs. Within the Pig Genotype-Tissue Expression (PigGTEx) project, ...
Automated prediction of spawning nights using machine learning analysis of flatfish behaviour
Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) broodstock exhibit distinct behaviours (Rest the Head, Guardian, Follow, and Locomotor activities) that are important for breeding success. Understanding and monitoring these behaviours ...
