• Active DNA demethylation in plants 

  Parrilla-Doblas, Jara; Roldán-Arjona, Teresa; Ariza, Rafael R.; Córdoba-Cañero, Dolores (MDPI, 2019)

  Methylation of cytosine (5-meC) is a critical epigenetic modification in many eukaryotes, and genomic DNA methylation landscapes are dynamically regulated by opposed methylation and demethylation processes. Plants are ...

• Does the Acknowledgement of S1-Casein Genotype A ect the Estimation of Genetic Parameters and Prediction of Breeding Values for Milk Yield and Composition Quality-Related Traits in Murciano-Granadina? 

  Pizarro Inostroza, María Gabriela; Landi, Vincenzo; Navas González, Francisco Javier; León Jurado, J.M.; Martínez Martínez, Amparo; Fernández Álvarez, J.; Delgado-Bermejo, J.V. (MDPI, 2019)

  A total of 2090 lactation records for 710 Murciano-Granadina goats were collected during the years 2005–2016 and analyzed to investigate the influence of the αS1-CN genotype on milk yield and components (protein, fat, and ...

• Deciphering the Patterns of Genetic Admixture and Diversity in the Ecuadorian Creole Chicken 

  Toalombo, Paula Alexandra; León Jurado, J.M.; Fiallos Ortega, Luis Rafael; Martínez Martínez, Amparo; Villafuerte Gavilanes, Alex Arturo; Delgado-Bermejo, J.V.; Landi, Vincenzo (MDPI, 2019)

  Latin American Creole chickens are generally not characterized; this is the case in Ecuador, where the lack of scientific information is contributing to their extinction. Here, we developed a characterization of the genetic ...

• Food Safety and Nutraceutical Potential of Caramel Colour Class IV Using In Vivo and In Vitro Assays Marcos 

  Mateo-Fernández, Marcos; Alves-Martínez, Pilar; Río-Celestino, Mercedes del; Font, Rafael; Merinas Amo, María Tania; Alonso Moraga, Ángeles (MDPI, 2019)

  Nutraceutical activity of food is analysed to promote the healthy characteristics of diet where additives are highly used. Caramel is one of the most worldwide consumed additives and it is produced by heating natural ...

• Development of wheat—Hordeum chilense Chromosome 2Hch Introgression Lines Potentially Useful for Improving Grain Quality Traits 

  Palomino, Carmen; Cabrera Caballero, Adoración (MDPI, 2019)

  The chromosome 2Hch of Hordeum chilense. has the potential to improve seed carotenoid content in wheat as it carries a set of endosperm carotenoid-related genes. We have obtained structural changes in chromosome 2Hch in a ...
