Application of Risk Management Metrics for ochratoxin-A control in the coffee chain
Rubio-Lopez, Fernando; Taniwaki, Marta; Morris, Jonathan; Garcia-Cela, Esther (2023-12-31)Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages worldwide. Like other agricultural products, coffee is susceptible of colonization by mycotoxin-producing fungi and therefore, the presence of mycotoxins. These chemical hazards ... -
Assessing a commercially available sports drink on exogenous carbohydrate oxidation, fluid delivery and sustained exercise performance.
Justin, Roberts,; Tarpey, Mike; Kass, Lindsy; Tarpey, Richard; Roberts, Michael (2014-03-04)Background: Whilst exogenous carbohydrate oxidation (CHOEXO) is influenced by mono- and disaccharide combinations, debate exists whether such beverages enhance fluid delivery and exercise performance. Therefore, this study ... -
Assessment of the Effect of Satureja montana and Origanum virens Essential Oils on Aspergillus flavus Growth and Aflatoxin Production at Different Water Activities
Garcia-Diaz, Marta; Gil-Serna, Jessica; Patino, Belen; Garcia-Cela, Esther; Magan, Naresh; Medina, Angel (2020-02-25)Aflatoxin contamination of foodstuffs poses a serious risk to food security, and it is essential to search for new control methods to prevent these toxins entering the food chain. Several essential oils are able to reduce ... -
The AtCathB3 gene, encoding a cathepsin B-like protease, is expressed during germination of Arabidopsis thaliana and transcriptionally repressed by the basic leucine zipper protein GBF1
Iglesias-Fernández, Raquel; Wozny, Dorothee; Iriondo-De Hond, Maite; Oñate-Sánchez, Luis; Carbonero, Pilar; Barrero-Sicilia, Cristina (2014-05-01)Protein hydrolysis plays an important role during seed germination and post-germination seedling establishment. In Arabidopsis thaliana, cathepsin B-like proteases are encoded by a gene family of three members, but only ... -

Bucur, Diana; Huang, Yongju; Fitt, Bruce; Kildea, Stephen (2022-10-09)BACKGROUND: Light leaf spot, caused by Pyrenopeziza brassicae, is amongst the most damaging diseases of winter oilseed rape(Brassica napus), and currently the sterol 14⊍-demethylase (CYP51) inhibitors (azoles) represent ... -
The BdGAMYB protein from Brachypodium distachyon interacts with BdDOF24 and regulates transcription of the BdCathB gene upon seed germination
González-Calle, Virginia; Iglesias-Fernández, Raquel; Carbonero, Pilar; Barrero-Sicilia, Cristina (2014-09-30)Main conclusion: BdDOF24 interacting with BdGAMYB regulates the BdCathB gene upon germination. During barley seed germination, hydrolytic enzymes (α-amylases, proteases, etc.) synthesized in the aleurone layer in response ... -
Benefits of using silicon as a nutrient in sustainable strawberry production
Liu, Bo; Wileman, H J; Hall, Avice; Jin, Xiaolei; Asiana, Ifeoma (2021-05-05)The UK now produces 80% of the strawberries on the UK market. Silicon is not considered an essential plant nutrient, and strawberries are not considered to be silicon accumulators. However, work at the University of ... -
