• Detachment force and natural abscission in ripening olive fruits in southern Spain 

  Jurado-Ortega, Marina; López-Bernal, Álvaro; Villalobos, Francisco J.; Testi, Luca (Elsevier, 2025)

  Variations in detachment force (FDF) and natural abscission (NA) during ripening are critical for the efficient harvesting of olive trees, but their dynamics are still poorly understood. In this study, we measured the ...

• Copy Number Variation (CNV): A New Genomic Insight in Horses 

  Laseca, Nora; Molina, Antonio; Valera, Mercedes; Antonini, Alicia; Demyda-Peyrás, Sebastián (MDPI, 2022)

  Copy number variations (CNVs) are a new-fangled source of genetic variation that can explain changes in the phenotypes in complex traits and diseases. In recent years, their study has increased in many livestock populations. ...

• Designing Long-Throated Flumes for Improved Water Management in Rice Cultivation: A New Automated Approach 

  Moreno-Pérez, M.F.; Pérez-Ardoy, Francisco Javier; Roldán Cañas, José (MDPI, 2025)

  Rice is irrigated by flooding, maintaining constant water levels and achieving high water requirements. At the outlet of the plot is a drainage canal whose monitoring using a long-throated flume to determine the flow rate ...

• The Induction of Resistance Against Verticillium Wilt of Olive by Previous Inoculation with a Low-Virulence Isolate of the Pathogen 

  Martos Moreno, Consuelo; Santos-Rufo, Antonio; Raya Ortega, María del Carmen; López Escudero, Francisco Javier; Blanco López, Miguel Ángel (MDPI, 2025)

  Verticillium wilt of olive, caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb., is a serious disease with no highly effective control methods currently available. Consequently, biological control strategies are being explored as viable ...

• Debaryomyces hansenii Enhances Growth, Nutrient Uptake, and Yield in Rice Plants (Oryza sativa L.) Cultivated in Calcareous Soil 

  Núñez-Cano, Jorge; Ruiz-Castilla, Francisco J.; Ramos, José; Romera, Francisco Javier; Lucena, Carlos (MDPI, 2025)

  Calcareous soils, characterized by high pH and calcium carbonate content, often limit the availability of essential nutrients for crops such as rice (Oryza sativa L.), reducing yield and nutritional quality. In this study, ...
