The exploitation of industrial crops for the production of ligno-cellulosic compounds and vegetable oil on marginal lands relies on efficient harvesting and logistics’ strategies. The present deliverable goes through the difficulties encountered from harvesting to...

One of the MAGIC Project targets is “to maximise stakeholder’ mobilization and enhance the impact of the project activities and outcomes for promoting the cultivation of industrial crops on marginal land”. In this line, practice abstracts (PA’s) ...

International audience; Genetic improvement of feed efficiency is key to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of fish farming. However, it requires individual phenotypes of feed efficiency, which are difficult if not impossible to obtain when fish are r...

Figure S1: Agarose gels showing traC gene amplification for selected X. fastidiosa strains from the collection at the Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible (IAS-CSIC) using ND116-pRIV5-F1/ND117-pRIV5-R1 primer pair (expected amplicon size of 521bp). PAC = Positive amplifi...

Knowledge of population structure and genetic diversity within and between wild and farmed populations of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is important to achieve sustainable aquaculture production of these species and to as...

It is well established that nighttime radiance, measured from satellites, correlates with economic prosperity across the globe. In developing countries, areas with low levels of detected radiance generally indicate limited development – with unlit areas typically being ...

While carbon dioxide is the main cause for global warming, modeling short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) such as methane, ozone, and particles in the Arctic allows us to simulate near-term climate and health impacts for a sensitive, pristine region that is warming at 3 t...

Abstract

White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is a promising crop to meet the rising global demand for plant-based protein. The seed-borne pathogen Colletotrichum lupini, however, threatens lupin cultivation worldwide. Seed dressings using synthetic fungicides were shown effective to ...

The draft White Paper for Consultation ''From Nature-Based Solutions to the Nature-Based Economy (download here) proposes a paradigm shift regarding the economic potential of nature and recommends a series of transformative change actions and immediate actions t...
