Infection and spread of Peronospora sparsa on Rosa sp. (Berk.): a microscopic and a thermographic approach
(2014-01-21)Downy mildew caused by Peronospora sparsa is one of the most destructive disease of roses, observed to produce asymptomatic infections and therefore difficult to control. The present research took different approaches to ... -
Comparative studies on the infection and colonization of maize leaves by Fusarium graminearum, F. proliferatum and F. verticillioides
(2014-09-01)Infection of <em>Fusarium</em> species causes quantitative along with qualitative damage on small grains and maize plants. This is due to leaf damage together with contamination by formation of different mycotoxins. Because ... -
Relevance of mineral nutrition and light quality for the accumulation of secondary metabolites in Centella asiatica and Hydrocotyle leucocephala
(2014-01-17)The key objective of the present work was to acquire fundamental knowledge on the impact of nutrient supply and light quality on the accumulation of pharmaceutically relevant secondary metabolites, particularly saponins ... -
Vitamin K dependent γ-carboxylation in chronic kidney disease
(2014-01-10)Vascular calcification is present in atherosclerosis, ageing, chronic kidney diseases and diabetes and is strongly associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. Calcification of arteries occurs at the tunica intima ... -
Probiotics as a novel approach to modulate incretins, insulin secretion and risk factors of type 2 diabetes and complications
(2014-01-10)<u>Background and Aim</u>: Ingestion of probiotics can modify gut microbiota and alter insulin resistance and diabetes development in rodents. We hypothesized that daily intake of <em>Lactobacillus (L.)</em> reuteri increases ... -
On High Performance Computing in Geodesy: Applications in Global Gravity Field Determination
(2014-12-08)Autonomously working sensor platforms deliver an increasing amount of precise data sets, which are often usable in geodetic applications. Due to the volume and quality, models determined from the data can be parameterized ... -
Application of knowledge discovery and data mining methods in livestock genomics for hypothesis generation and identification of biomarker candidates influencing meat quality traits in pigs
(2014-12-10)Recent advancements in genomics and genome profiling technologies have lead to an increase in the amount of data available in livestock genomics. Yet, most of the studies done in livestock genomics have been following a ... -
Investigation of miRNAs enrichment and degradation in bovine granulosa cells during follicular development
(2014-12-01)The granulosa cells in the mammalian ovarian follicle respond to gonadotropin signalling and are involved in the processes of folliculogenesis and oocyte maturation. Although, several studies have been done on spatio ... -
Sorption, Transformation and Transport of Sulfadiazine in a loess and a sandy Soil
(2014-12-10)Veterinary antibiotics are unintentionally introduced into the environment and therefore found in ground and surface water, soil and sediments, air, plants etc. They enter these compartments mainly via application of manure ... -
Transcriptome analysis using RNA-Seq on response of respiratory cells infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)
(2014-11-26)The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most important viral diseases of the swine industry worldwide (Balasuriya 2013). Its aetiological agent is the PRRS virus (PRRSV) (Balasuriya 2013, ... -
Bovine ovarian hyperstimulation induced changes in expression profile of circulatory miRNA in follicular fluid and blood plasma
(2014-11-14)Circulatory noncoding small RNAs (miRNAs), which are present in various body fluids, are reported to be potentially used as biomarkers for disease and pregnancy. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect ... -

(2014-11-20)In dem Verbundprojekt "Qualität von Gärfutter – komparative Bewertung mittels chemischer Analyse, Chemosensor-Systemen und Tierversuchen" wurden verschiedene Silagequalitätsvarianten systematisch hinsichtlich Schmackhaftigkeit, ... -
Soil attribute changes along chronosequences of land use in the littoral wetlands of Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(2014-11-14)Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake in the East African Rift Valley, which was affected by a continuously declining water level between 1980 and 2011. The newly exposed littoral area has been gradually put under agricultural ... -
Züchterische Möglichkeiten zur Reduktion von geschlechtsbedingten Geruchsabweichungen am Schlachtkörper von männlichen, unkastrierten Mastschweinen
(2013-12-15)In der europäischen Union soll bis 2018 die operative Ferkelkastration ohne Anästhesie verboten werden. Neben der Immunokastration und der Kastration unter Betäubung ist die Ebermast eine attraktive Alternative. Eine ... -
Integration of genome wide association and expression profiling for investigating water holding capacity traits in a Duroc × Pietrain resource population
(2013-12-15)Water holding capacity (WHC) is an important quality criterion for the consumers and the meat processing industries. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate WHC traits in the Duroc × Pietrain resource population ... -
Greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from dairy barns
