The cultivation of common bean in Brazil typically occurs in three annual cropping seasons across the country’s major geographic regions, exposing genotypes to contrasting environmental conditions across time (seasons and years) and space (locations). With this aim, this study investigated the influence of the G × E interaction on common bean yield across different sites, seasons, and years. It evaluated the contributions of f...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) is a beneficial probiotic for poultry, serving as a natural alternative to antibiotics by promoting biological synergies that enhance animal health and productivity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of SC on splenic immunomodulation in broiler chickens by characterizing and quantifying immune cell populations—including T lymphocytes (CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , and Treg CD25 + ), macrophages (...

Chronic alcohol drinking increases susceptibility to cognitive impairment; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of chronic alcohol drinking on working and recognition memory in a Marchigian Sardinian alcohol-preferring (msP) rat line. Due to interest in insulin-based medications for alcohol use disorder, we examined insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) genes in t...

The coexistence of marine sensitive areas with the oil industry requires robust preparedness and rapid response capabilities for monitoring and mitigating oil spill events. Scientifically proven satellite-based methods for the visual detection of oil spills are widely recognized as effective, low-cost, transferable, scalable, and operational solutions, particularly in developing economies. Following meticulous design and imple...
