• Diagnostic effectiveness of [123I] Ioflupane single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in multiple system atrophy 

  Villena-Salinas, Javier; Ortega-Lozano, Simeón José; Amrani-Raissouni, Tomader; Agüera Morales, Eduardo; Caballero-Villarraso, Javier (MDPI, 2023)

  Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder that has no curative treatment. Diagnosis is based on a set of criteria established by Gilman (1998 and 2008) and recently updated ...

• Filago pyramidata tolerant to ALS-inhibiting herbicides: a new invasive weed in olive groves 

  Palma-Bautista, Candelario; Vázquez-García, José Guadalupe; Domínguez-Valenzuela, José Alfredo; Alcántara-de la Cruz, Ricardo; De Prado, Rafael; Portugal, João (MDPI, 2023)

  Weeds that usually grow in non-agricultural areas have become increasingly common invading perennial crops. Species of the genus Filago, in addition to invading Spanish olive groves, have developed certain levels of natural ...

• ‘Omics’ approaches for crop improvement 

  Cortés, Andrés J.; Castillejo-Sánchez, María A.; Yockteng, Roxana (MDPI, 2023)

  The growing human population and climate change are imposing unprecedented challenges on the global food supply [1]. To cope with these pressures, crop improvement demands enhancing important agronomical traits beyond ...

• Forest fragmentation and landscape connectivity changes in Ecuadorian mangroves: some hope for the future? 

  Jaramillo, Julio J.; Rivas, Carlos A.; Oteros, José; Navarro Cerrillo, Rafael M. (MDPI, 2023)

  This study investigates the impact of fragmentation on Ecuador’s coastal mangrove forests. Fragmentation is identified as a primary cause of aquatic ecosystem degradation. We analyzed the relationship between habitat loss, ...

• Cyanide biodegradation by a native bacterial consortium and its potential for goldmine tailing biotreatment 

  Alvarado-López, María José; Garrido-Hoyos, Sofía E.; Raynal-Gutiérrez, María Elena; El-Kassis, Elie G.; Luque-Almagro, Víctor Manuel; Rosano-Ortega, Genoveva (MDPI, 2023)

  A native cyanide-degrading bacterial consortium was isolated from goldmine tailing sediments. Mine tailings are toxic effluents due to their metal–cyanide complexes. The bacterial consortium was able to degrade an initial ...
