New insights into the raw milk microbiota diversity from animals with a different genetic predisposition for feed efficiency and resilience to mastitis

Scientific Reports, 2022
The main objective of this study was to assess the microbiota diversity in milk samples collected from Holstein cows with different estimated breeding values for predicted feed efficiency, milk coagulation, resilience to mastitis, and consequently, to ...

Human choices, slope and vegetation productivity determine patterns of traditional alpine summer grazing

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2022
Grazing behaviour influences animal productivity and the conservation of grassland ecosystem services. We used GPS tracking and remote sensing (NDVI index) to monitor the grazing patterns of lactating cows on the ‘Malga Ombretta’ summer farm (1,957 m asl)

Transcriptional and Physiological Analyses to Assess the Effects of a Novel Biostimulant in Tomato

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
This work aimed to study the effects in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) of foliar applications of a novel calcium-based biostimulant (SOB01) using an omics approach involving transcriptomics and physiological profiling.

Meta-analysis of RNA-Seq studies reveals genes with dominant functions during flower bud endo- to eco-dormancy transition in Prunus species

Scientific Reports, 2021
In deciduous fruit trees, entrance into dormancy occurs in later summer/fall, concomitantly with the shortening of day length and decrease in temperature. Dormancy can be divided into endodormancy, ecodormancy and paradormancy.

Early morpho-physiological response of oilseed rape under seed applied Sedaxane fungicide and Rhizoctonia solani pressure

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The SDHI fungicide Sedaxane has shown to efficiently control Rhizoctonia spp. growth and to possess biostimulant properties in cereal crops. As a first, the present study investigated its effectiveness as a seed treatment of the dicot species oilseed ...

Wood-Based Compost Affects Soil Fertility and the Content of Available Forms of Nutrients in Vineyard and Field-Scale Agroecosystems

Agronomy, 2021
To counteract the loss of organic matter of agricultural soils, the use of compost from green and woody residues is a promising strategy. In this study, an organic farm (NE Italy) was investigated to determine the effect of management practices on ...

Multi-breed herd approach to detect breed differences in composition and fatty acid profile of cow milk

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
The objective of the present study was to estimate the effect of breed on milk fatty acid (FA) composition of dairy (Brown Swiss, Holstein-Friesian, and Jersey) and dual-purpose cows (Simmental and Alpine Grey) in multi-breed herds.

Effects of digestate solid fraction fertilisation on yield and soil carbon dioxide emission in a horticulture succession

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate the agronomical and environmental effects of digestate solid fraction (DSF) used as fertiliser in a vegetable crop succession (green bean, savoy cabbage, cabbage and cauliflower) in Northeast Italy (45°20’ N; 11°57 ...

Short-Term Application of Polymer-Coated Mono-Ammonium Phosphate in a Calcareous Soil Affects the Pools of Available Phosphorus and the Growth of Hypericum × moserianum (L.)

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2019
Mineral phosphorus (P) fertilization in calcareous soils is not efficient enough to ensure optimal plant growth. Therefore, a higher P input is generally needed.

RNA-seq analyses on gametogenic tissues of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) revealed plant reproduction- and ploidy-related genes

BMC Plant Biology
Background In alfalfa (Medicago sativa), the coexistence of interfertile subspecies (i.e. sativa, falcata and coerulea) characterized by different ploidy levels (diploidy and tetraploidy) and the occurrence of meiotic mutants capable of producing ...
