@CNRsocial_ avete considerato aprire un conto su BlueSky e maragi anche migrare a BlueSky? Qui a IBBA CNR lo abbiamo fatto. Mettetevi in contatto se volete che vi possiamo dare consiglio.

We are on #Bluesky! bsky.app/profile/ibbacn…

Plantibodies per la salute! almanacco.cnr.it/articolo/11987…

The SMARTER-database, by @HerrFalloppio, @pbuozzi & team, standardizes global genomic data for ~12K sheep & 6K goats, enabling robust analyses on adaptation. Access via FTP & web interface. 🔗doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Brown Swiss cows maintain stable body temps & milk quality in hot weather, while Holsteins see larger shifts in microbiota diversity. The study underscores breed-specific resilience. By @HerrFalloppio and colleagues doi.org/10.3168/jds.20…

New study reveals tRNA topological & Shannon entropy as key discriminators of Archaea vs. Bacteria, with ML models achieving up to 99.8% accuracy. tRNA, rRNA, and ncRNA genes drive these genomic differences. By @HerrFalloppio and colleagues. doi.org/10.1186/s12864…

Sprouting, cooking, & fermenting quinoa & amaranth seeds with Lactobaillcus plantarum boost antioxidants & mineral content. These processes make seeds ideal for health-focused diets & supplements. By Martina Vento, Lucia Giorgetti & colleagues doi.org/10.3390/ijms25…”

🚨 Legionella pneumophila (Lp) strains can be differentiated: 100% of the virulent serogroup 1 carried virulence genes - and biofilm genes in >90% of samples - a boost for water system safety! by @BiancaBiCast, Paola Cremonesi and colleagues doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.… #PublicHealth

🌱 CRFs transcription factors can boost crop resilience without sacrificing growth under stress! 🧬 Targeting CRFs helps crops adapting to climate change by balancing stress responses and development. By D. Gentile & colleagues doi.org/10.3389/fgene.…

🌍 Storing hydrogen underground? Microbial activity poses new challenges! 🦠 Acidogenic/acetogenic processes dominate, with minimal methanogenic or sulfate-reducing activity. Nutrients play a key role! By B. Menin & colleagues doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.…

🌿 *Salicornia europaea* young leaves show powerful antioxidant activity and protect against fatty liver disease! 🧪 Reduced oxidative stress, liver damage, and inflammation in rats treated with *Salicornia*. By A. Souid & colleagues doi.org/10.3390/antiox…

🦆 Adding Black soldier fly and Yellow mealworm larvae to Muscovy duck diets boosts gut health! 🧬 Improved immune response (IL-6) and beneficial changes in gut microbiota, with no impact on growth or mucin composition. By Sara Pozzo and colleagues doi.org/10.1186/s42523…

🌿 Long-lived plants like *Festuca rubra* rapidly evolve under changing climate conditions! 🌧️ Soil moisture rather than temperature selects genotypes. 💡 Rapid adaptation in alpine grasslands. By F. Biscarini and colleagues in Prague doi.org/10.1093/jeb/vo…

🔬 New genome interpretation models use transfer learning & sparse neural networks to predict plant traits with fewer parameters! 🌱 💡 Population stratification impacts model evaluation & generalization. By F. Biscarini and colleagues. doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

🔬 Key genetic markers linked to metabolic stress response in Holstein cows. 🧬 Paraoxonase & γ-glutamyl transferase show strong genetic associations. B J. Ramirez, A. Stella and colleagues. doi.org/10.3168/jds.20…

🌍 Obesity has doubled globally since 1990! 🔬 High-fat diets reduce gut metabolites like short-chain fatty acids & amino acids. 💡 Spectroscopy offers a rapid, low-energy way to track these changes. By A. Vornoli, L. Pozzo 4, V. Longo and colleagues doi.org/10.1016/j.food…
