The use of filamentous hemagglutinin adhesin to detect immune responses to Campylobacter hepaticus infections in layer hens
(2022-12-21)Campylobacter hepaticus is the aetiological agent of Spotty Liver Disease (SLD). SLD can cause significant production loss and mortalities among layer hens at and around peak of lay. We previously developed an enzyme linked ... -
Obesogenic Diet-Induced Neuroinflammation: A Pathological Link between Hedonic and Homeostatic Control of Food Intake
(2023-01-11)Obesity-induced neuroinflammation is a chronic aseptic central nervous system inflammation that presents systemic characteristics associated with increased pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) and ... -
Simazine transport in undisturbed soils from a vineyard at the Casablanca valley, Chile
(2013-01-20)Simazine is a soil-active herbicide that has been applied worldwide in agricultural soils, being the second most commonly detected herbicide in groundwater and surface waters. Although its use has been restricted in many ... -
Competitive Strategies and Growth of Neighbouring Bromus valdivianus Phil. and Lolium perenne L. Plants Under Water Restriction
(2013-05)Often perennial pastures have to tolerate soil water restriction during summer, which can affect the relative abundance of the most desired species. In the south of Chile, Bromus valdivianus and Lolium perenne are preferred ... -
Water and sediment dynamics of penoxsulam and molinate in paddy fields: field and lysimeter studies
(2011-07-15)BACKGROUND: In Chile, rice is cultivated under water-seeded and continuously flooded conditions. Because herbicide dynamics in paddy fields and non-flooded fields is different, 3 year experiments were performed to study ... -
Quantifying effects of irrigation and soil water content on electricalpotentials in grapevines (Vitis vinifera) using multivariate statisticalmethods
(2014-05-20)Several studies have shown that physiological responses in plants, including fruit crops, are associated with changes in electrical potentials (EP), but it is often difficult to statistically quantify these responses. This ... -
Glyphosate Use in Forest Plantations
(2010)Under Chilean conditions the lack of weed control at forest tree establishment results in an average of at least 60% less biomass accumulation during the first year of growth of radiate pine or eucaliptus, and glyphosate ... -
Adsorption and desorption variability of four herbicides used in paddy rice production
(2011-01)This investigation was performed to determine the effect of physicochemical soil properties on penoxsulam, molinate, bentazon, and MCPA adsorption-desorption processes. Four soils from Melozal (35° 43' S; 71° 41' W), Parral ... -
Using penoxsulam ALS inhibitor as a broad-spectrum herbicide in Chilean rice
(2011)The continuously-flooded rice production system in Chile has selected highly competitive aquatic weeds selection capable ofreducing paddy yields by 25 to 50%. Penoxsulam is a broad-spectrum triazolopyrimidine (ALS inhibitor) ... -
Effects of physicochemical soil properties of five agricultural soils on herbicide soil adsorption and leaching
(2011)Once pesticides reach the soil, there are several factors that affect their soil behavior. To identify the principal soil and herbicide properties that control their adsorption and leaching, a study of five Chilean ... -
Efectos de Aceites Esenciales de Lavanda y Eucalipto en el Control de la Varroasis de Apis melifera
(2018)Las abejas como polinizadores participan en la economía global y su aporte ha sido estimado entre 235 y 285 billones de US$ al año. (Lautenbach, et al., 2012) Actualmente se ha informado el debilitamiento general de las ... -
Corticotropin-releasing factor system in the lateral septum: Implications in the pathophysiology of obesity
(2022-09-20)Obesity is a pandemic associated with lifestyles changes. These include excess intake of obesogenic foods and decreased physical activity. Brain areas, like the lateral hypothalamus (LH), ventral tegmental area (VTA), and ... -
Daily changes on seasonal ecophysiological responses of the intertidal brown macroalga Lessonia spicata: Implications of climate change
(2022-09-28)Global climate change is expected to have detrimental effects on coastal ecosystems, with impacts observable at the local and regional levels, depending on factors such as light, temperature, and nutrients. Shifts in ... -
Evaluación de hongos micorrízicos arbusculares (HMA) en la rehabilitación ecológica de ecosistemas con actividad minera
(2022)En los ecosistemas forestales nativos, los hongos micorrízicos arbusculares (HMA) cumplen una función de interfase suelo – planta, ayudando a la adaptación de las especies vegetales ante situaciones de estrés. En Chile ... -
Genomics and pathogenesis of the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus
(2022-08-17)Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a member of the family Coronaviridae, together with viruses such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 (the causative agent of the COVID-19 global pandemic). In this family of viruses, ... -
Seasonal Photoacclimation and Vulnerability Patterns in the Brown Macroalga Lessonia spicata (Ochrophyta)
(2020-12-23)Fluctuations in solar radiation are one of the key factors affecting productivity and survival in habitat forming coastal macroalgae, in this regard, photoacclimation has a direct impact on the vulnerability and the capacity ... -
Nutrients and fungal identity affect the outcome of symbiotic germination in Bipinnula fimbriata (Orchidaceae)
(2020-10-21)Orchids produce small seeds with no energy reserves, relying entirely on orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) for germination. This process, known as symbiotic germination, can lead to different outcomes depending on abiotic ... -
Germination and development of M1 seedlings of two Selliera radicans Cav. accessions subjected to gamma radiation
(2021-12-01)Selliera radicans is a creeping plant native to Chile, New Zealand and Australia. It is increasingly used in the ornamental industry, and there is interest in breeding it to create commercial varieties. The aim of this ... -
The Transcranial Light Therapy Improves Synaptic Plasticity in the Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model
(2022-09-21)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia worldwide. Emerging noninvasive treatments such as photobiomodulation target the mitochondria to minimize brain damage, improving cognitive functions. In this work, ... -
