MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT CHOICES FOLLOWING FLOOD DAMAGE: THE CASE STUDY OF SUSTAINABLE CITRUS FARMING IN SICILY

Multi-Criteria Analysis of Investment Choices Following Flood Damage: The Case Study of Sustainable Citrus Farming in Sicily

Current climate change is confronting Twin Tub Sump Hose farms with extreme conditions, with severe drought for a good part of the year and flooding rains for a month.The changes taking place on our planet make it necessary for farmers to understand and assess how they can counteract the damage of climate change by adopting sustainable strategies t

Evaluation of grape stems and grape stem extracts for sulfur dioxide replacement during grape wine production

Sulfur dioxide (SO2), the main preservative in wine, may affect Stockpot the sensory properties of the wines, as well as cause allergic reactions and headaches in sensitive people.The aim of this work was to evaluate the replacement of SO2 in Tempranillo wines with Mazuelo grape stem products.Five Tempranillo red wines were elaborated: positive con

Two phosphodiesterases from Ustilago maydis share structural and biochemical properties with non-fungal phosphodiesterases

The dependence of Protein Kinase A (PKA) boys tee activity on cAMP levels is an important facet of the dimorphic switch between budding and filamentous growth as well as for pathogenicity in some fungi.To better understand these processes in the pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis, we characterized the structure and biochemical functions of two phosp

The creation and selection of mutations resistant to a gene drive over multiple generations in the malaria mosquito.

Gene drives have enormous potential for the control of insect populations of medical and agricultural relevance.By preferentially biasing their own inheritance, gene drives can rapidly introduce genetic traits even if these confer a negative fitness effect on the population.We have recently developed gene drives based on CRISPR nuclease constructs
