Describing variability in pig genes involved in coronavirus infections for a One Health perspective in conservation of animal genetic resources
(Nature Research, 2021)
Coronaviruses silently circulate in human and animal populations, causing mild to severe diseases. Therefore, livestock are important components of a “One Health” perspective aimed to control these viral infections. However, ...
Functional properties of wheat kernels (Triticumaestivum L.) during storage
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
The method of storage has, in the long run, a negative effect on the quality of wheat kernels, due to physiological ageing of its cells.The quality of the kernels was assessed during the storage, giving the predefined ...
PVDF-HFP/NKBT composite dielectrics: Perovskite particles induce the appearance of an additional dielectric relaxation process in ferroelectric polymer matrix
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
Na0.25K0.25Bi0.5TiO3 (NKBT) perovskite particles are synthesized by solid-state method and used as a filler for polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) co-polymer. X-ray diffraction analysis of NKBT powders ...
The effect of the exogenous application of EDTA and maleic acid on tolerance, phenolic compounds, and cadmium phytoremediation by okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) exposed to Cd stress
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
The effects of Cd application alone or along with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and maleic acid (MA) were explored in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus.L.). Okra plants were planted in hydroponic conditions and in the ...
Summer brood interruption as integrated management strategy for effective Varroa control in Europe
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2020)
Most Varroa induced colony losses occur during the autumn or winter season as a consequence of an elevated Varroa infestation level and an insufficient health status of the adult bees. Even with an initial low Varroa ...
Different sets of traits explain abundance and distribution patterns of European plants at different spatial scales
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2021)
Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be predicted by sets ...
Effect of partial replacement of meat by carrot on physicochemical properties and fatty acid profile of fresh turkey sausages: a chemometric approach
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2020)
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the modification of physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid composition of fresh turkey sausages manufactured including carrot (Daucus carotaL.) as a vegetable source (i.e., 10%, ...
Cell wall response to UV radiation in needles of Picea omorika
(Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2021)
The UV-B represents the minor fraction of the solar spectrum, while UV-C is not contained in natural solar radiation,
but both radiation types can cause damaging effects in plants. Cell walls (CWs) are one of the targets ...
Bifunctional catalytic activity of Zn1-xFexO toward the OER/ORR: seeking an optimal stoichiometry
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2020)
Eco-friendly and rapid microwave processing of a precipitate was used to produce Fe-doped zinc oxide (Zn1-xFexO,x= 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.20; ZnO:Fe) nanoparticles, which were tested as catalysts toward the oxygen reduction ...
