Grapevine trunk diseases threaten sustainable viticulture, while wine lees remain an underexploited biocontrol-relevant by-product within the circular economy framework. An integrated bioprocess was developed to upgrade lees into high-molecular-weight biomolecule mixtures and low-molecular-weight peptide-enriched fractions through a defined sequence of unit operations: fermentation design by using Saccharomyces monocultures an...
Two new species and a new record of Digitaria (Poaceae: Panicoideae) from western Tanzania and the Uzondo PlateauNARA Subscribed
Summary Two new species of Digitaria are described from two locations in western Tanzania, including the Uzondo plateau, following collecting trips by Kaj Vollesen and colleagues, Digitaria laciniata and D. setarioides . Line drawings accompany the descriptions and scanning electron micrographs show spikelet and trichome morphology. Digitaria parodii is recorded from Tanzania for the first time. All three species represent asp...
The present study investigated the application of elevated and low temperatures as an alternative strategy for managing insect pests in stored Corinthian currants ( Vitis vinifera L., var. Apyrena). The efficacy of both high- and low-temperature exposure was evaluated against two key storage pests, Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Coleoptera: Silvanidae), under commercial storage co...
Microalgae cultivation offers promising opportunities for wastewater bioremediation and the production of high-value bio-based products; however, the environmental sustainability of existing technologies remains under evaluation. This study presents a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of a lab-scale Chlorella vulgaris cultivation system in Northern Greece using food industry wastewater, operated in a 5 L photobioreactor. Pr...
Variations among Nile tilapia reproductive strains: An integrative morphometric and molecular approachNARA Subscribed
The rapid expansion of tilapia aquaculture highlights the importance of assessing the variations between the local and improved strains to ensure sustainable production. The present study conducted an integrative analysis of morphometric traits, reproductive performance, growth and reproduction‐related gene expressions in three commercially important tilapia strains such as Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) , genetically...
Fish nutritional value is a complex trait, highly influenced by fatty acid composition, which is correspondingly affected by a variety of factors, such as seasonality, abiotic conditions, and genetic background. Herein, the seasonal variations in lipid metabolism and the composition of fatty acids in three economically important mullet species (Chelon auratus, Chelon ramada, and Mugil cephalus) in an appropriate fisheries mode...
Gait speed and domain-specific cognitive performance in a diverse cohort of the oldest-old: the LifeAfter90 StudyNARA Subscribed
Gait speed is a robust marker of health in older adults and is associated with cognition, yet few studies have examined this in the oldest-old and if there are differences by cognitive domain. We examined the association between gait speed and cognition across three domains in individuals aged 90 + , considering differences by gender and device use. Then, 502 participants were included from the LifeAfter90 Study. Baseline gait...
