Agrotecnio aims to become a reference in Europe addressing all the key elements of the food production chain in an integrated way focusing on target crops and animals of commercial importance, rather than model systems. This later aspect sets our centre apart from other centers which focus on fundamental science and/or model plant and animal systems. As a result we should be able to address fundamental and important questions in the crop/animal of interest and results from our research will be directly and immediately applicable to our target organism.

An overview of mycotoxin biomarker application in exposome-health studies
(Elsevier, 2020-12-17)Exposure assessment in epidemiological studies remains as a key bias domain, prompting for reliable and accurate methods reflecting the true individual exposure. For that reason, the use of exposure biomarkers has become ... -
Radiation and Drought Impact Residual Leaf Conductance in Two Oak Species With Implications for Water Use Models
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-27)Stomatal closure is one of the earliest responses to water stress but residual water losses may continue through the cuticle and incomplete stomatal closure. Residual conductance (gres) plays a large role in determining ... -
Regional Level Data Server for Fire Hazard Evaluation and Fuel Treatments Planning
(MDPI, 2020-12-17)Both fire risk assessment and management of wildfire prevention strategies require different sources of data to represent the complex geospatial interaction that exists between environmental variables in the most accurate ... -
Acceptance of near-natural greenspace management relates to ecological and socio-cultural assigned values among European urbanites
(Elsevier GmbH on behalf of Gesellschaft für Ökologie, 2020-10-31)Grasslands are widespread elements of urban greenspace providing recreational, psychological and aesthetic benefits to city residents. Two urban grassland types of contrasting management dominate urban greenspaces: frequently ... -

Genotypic differences in wheat yield determinants within a NAM population based on elite parents
(Elsevier, 2020-12-25)Future grain yield (GY) improvements require the identification of beneficial traits within the context of high yield potential and not just based on the pleiotropic effect of traits such as crop height and heading date. ... -
Should the impact factor of the year of publication or the last available one be used when evaluating scientists?
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2020)Aim of study: A common procedure when evaluating scientists is considering the journal's quartile of impact factors (within a category), many times considering the quartile in the year of publication instead of the last ... -
Recent deforestation drove the spike in Amazonian fires

Standardization of near infrared hyperspectral imaging for wheat single kernel sorting according to deoxynivalenol level
(Elsevier, 2020-11-28)The spatial recognition feature of near infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI-NIR) makes it potentially suitable for Fusarium and deoxynivalenol (DON) management in single kernels to break with heterogeneity of contamination ... -
Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging for deoxynivalenol and ergosterol estimation in wheat samples
(Elsevier, 2020-09-30)The present study aimed to evaluate the use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI)-NIR spectroscopy to assess the presence of DON and ergosterol presence in wheat samples through prediction and classification models. To achieve ... -
Tree Species Are Differently Impacted by Cumulative Drought Stress and Present Higher Growth Synchrony in Dry Places
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-24)The increase in frequency and intensity of droughts due to climate change might threaten forests under stress levels causing dieback and mortality episodes. Thus, deciphering how tree species from within a region respond ... -
Shared drought responses among conifer species in the middle Siberian taiga are uncoupled from their contrasting water-use efficiency trajectories
(Elsevier, 2020-06-10)A shift from temperature-limited to water-limited tree performance is occurring at around 60°N latitude across the circumboreal biome, in concord with current warming trends. This shift is likely to induce extensive ... -
Stable Zn isotopes reveal the uptake and toxicity of zinc oxide engineered nanomaterials in Phragmites australis
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-06-18)The uptake, transport, and toxicity mechanisms of zinc oxide (ZnO) engineered nanomaterials (ZnO-ENMs) in aquatic plants remain obscure. We investigated ZnO-ENM uptake and phytotoxicity in Phragmites australis by combining ... -
Hydraulic and photosynthetic limitations prevail over root non‐structural carbohydrate reserves as drivers of resprouting in two Mediterranean oaks
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020-05-12)Resprouting is an ancestral trait in angiosperms that confers resilience after perturbations. As climate change increases stress, resprouting vigor is declining in many forest regions, but the underlying mechanism is poorly ... -
Candidate genes underlying QTL for flowering time and their interactions in a wide spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cross
(Crop Science Society of China and Institute of Crop Science, CAASElsevier, 2020-11-18)Response to vernalization and photoperiod are the main determinants controlling the time to flowering in temperate cereals. While the individual genes that determine a plant's response to these environmental signals are ... -
Assessing the Performance of RGB-D Sensors for 3D Fruit Crop Canopy Characterization under Different Operating and Lighting Conditions
(MDPI, 2020-12-10)The use of 3D sensors combined with appropriate data processing and analysis has provided tools to optimise agricultural management through the application of precision agriculture. The recent development of low-cost ... -
