Biological control approaches of Meloidogyne spp. in vegetable crops : from application of selected antagonists to suppressive soils
Root-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogyne spp., are the most economically important genus of plant parasitic nematodes that cause considerable damage and yield losses of horticultural crops worldwide. RKN management strategies ...
Caracterización sensorial y culinaria de germoplasma de judía grano (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) y aplicación a la mejora genética
In recent decades, much work has gone into collecting and conserving phytogenetic resources, resulting in a considerable increase in the number of entries stored ex situ in germplasm banks. However, these resources have ...
Characterization of amino acid changes in visual pigment evolution and interaction with associated proteins
Visual opsins are G protein-coupled receptors that function as light photoreceptors in the vertebrate retina. Rhodopsin is the visual pigment located in the rod photoreceptor cells specialized in scotopic vision. Bovine ...
Characterization of resistant Cucumis germplasm to manage root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp.
Plant resistance through grafting susceptible scions onto resistant rootstocks is an effective measure to supress root-knot nematode (RKN) populations and to reduce crop yield losses. However, the reiterative use of specific ...
Consumer preferences and acceptance for sustainable food systems
(English) As consumers increasingly recognise the health, ethical, and environmental impacts of their dietary choices, a shift toward sustainable food systems is emerging. This dissertation explores consumer preferences, ...
Crioconcentración en bloque para jugo de granada (Punica granatum L.)
(English) One of the food industry's pressing global challenges is ensuring food security for a rapidly growing population. The enormous problems of water scarcity, climate change and high energy costs are barriers to ...
Desarrollo de modelos para la identificación de variedades y fitopatologías mediante técnicas fotónicas
In the cultivation of fruit trees, the most common is to work with cuttings. In this way, the grafted fruit tree variety offers specific fruit qualities and the rootstock offers certain agronomic and adaptation characteristics. ...
Desarrollo de un sistema de apoyo a la toma de decisión para la evaluación cuantitativa de los equipos de aplicación de productos fitosanitarios en función del riesgo medioambiental
(English) Since the adoption of the Machinery Directive 2009/127/EC and the implementation of the new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, which will be mandatory from 2027, manufacturers of agricultural sprayers have ...
Developing an individual-based model to study the bacterial denitrification process
It is crucial to study the denitrification process driven by bacteria as it is one of the most important environmental processes for several reasons: i) it has an application in the removal of nitrogen (N) from high-N waste ...
Diferents estats d’oligomerització entre els receptors 5-HT1A, GALR1 I GPR39 com a noves dianes terapèutiques en depressió
The type of serotonin receptor 1A (5-HT1A), the galanin type 1 (GalR1) and the orphan receptor 39 (GPR39) belong to the superfamily The serotonin receptor type 1A (5-HT1A), the galanin receptor type 1 (GalR1) and the ...
Discovery of new selective antagonists of G-protein coupled receptors of therapeutic interest
GPCR are integral membrane receptor proteins that are characterized by heptahelical transmembrane domains connected by intracellular and extracellular loops. GPCRs are an attractive class of proteins for drug discovery, ...
Durability of resistance to Meloidogyne mediated by R-genes in solanaceous and cucurbitaceous crops
Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus, and eggplant, Solanum melongena, are two major crops commonly grafted onto resistant rootstocks for controlling soilborne diseases. However, there are currently no commercially ...
Dynamics of chemical microcontaminants in peri-urban agriculture and evaluation of their potential impact on crops and human health
