Differing responses in milk composition from introducing rapeseed and naked oats to conventional and organic dairy diets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-31)Dairy products are often considered challenging for health due to their saturated fatty acid content, yet they also provide beneficial nutrients, some unique to ruminants. The degree of fat saturation is influenced by cows’ ... -
The effect of climate variability in the efficacy of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum against the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-09)Despite substantial efforts to control locusts they remain periodically a major burden in Africa, causing severe yield loss and hence loss of food and income. Distribution maps indicating the value of the basic reproduction ... -
Effect of grassland cutting frequency, species mixture, wilting and fermentation pattern of grass silages on in vitro methane yield
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-03-23)Mitigating enteric methane (CH4) emissions is crucial as ruminants account for 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. We hypothesised that less frequent harvesting, use of crops with lower WSC concentration, ensiling at ... -
Honey bees and climate explain viral prevalence in wild bee communities on a continental scale
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-03)Viruses are omnipresent, yet the knowledge on drivers of viral prevalence in wild host populations is often limited. Biotic factors, such as sympatric managed host species, as well as abiotic factors, such as climatic ... -
Recognition of candidate transcription factors related to bilberry fruit ripening by de novo transcriptome and qRT-PCR analyses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-02)Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits are an excellent natural resource for human diet because of their special favor, taste and nutritional value as well as medical properties. Bilberries are recognized for their high ... -
Selection and validation of reliable reference genes for gene expression studies from Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi infected wild blueberry phenotypes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07-16)Monilinia blight disease caused by Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi (Reade) Honey (M.vc) causes severe damage and economic losses in wild blueberry growing regions. Molecular mechanisms regulating defence responses of wild ...
