The authors performed an instantaneous bioenergetic study with rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) of 206.3 g ± 2.9 g in a group respirometer of nine 250 l tanks at five different water temperatures (12, 14, 16, 18, 20°C) to determine the optimal thermal condition for a maximal visualization of the protein‐sparing effect. Twelve fish per tank were tested at a stocking density of 9.94 kg m −3 ± 0.14 kg m −3 and fed three low‐...

Key message Novel QTLs and candidate genes for Sclerotinia-resistance were identified in B. villosa , a wild Brassica species, which represents a new genetic source for improving oilseed rape resistance to SSR. Abstract Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most destructive diseases in oilseed rape growing regions. To date, there is no effective genetic resistance against S. sclerotiorum...

A column experiment with five different pore densities (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 pores column −1 ) and two varying moisture regimes (comparatively dry and comparatively moist regime) in the subsoil part of the columns was established. In each pore, Lumbricus terrestris was introduced for 28 days before sowing wheat plants. After 40 days of plant growth, watering was stopped to induce progressive topsoil drying. Parameters describing...
