The international and European literature institutional contexts are fostering agrobiodiversity as the foundation of a new paradigm for localized agri-food system development sustainability. Accordingly, systemic holistic theoretical approaches conceptual models needed. This paper aims to identify apply framework contributing understanding how restoring valorization underutilized or neglected l...

Abstract The threats to agrobiodiversity ultimately affect our future food security. Countries bonded national or international biodiversity conservation legislation should conserve and sustainably use their agrobiodiversity. Landraces are a key element of which is largely endangered due lack systematic conservation, partially obstacles in developing inventories may be assigned the difficulties...

Barley (Hordeumvulgare L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in world. Powdery mildew on barley, which caused by pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei, occurs world-wide and can result severe yield loss. Thousands barley accessions are stored national gene banks, their characterization for breeding purposes needed. This study was conducted to determine resistance powdery 33 landraces...

The current experiment was designed to examine if a compensatory feed regimen influenced storage of glycogen forms, activity of proteolytic systems, and meat quality. Female pigs (Large White × Landrace × Duroc cross) with an initial age of 74 d were allocated to 6 feeding treatment groups (n=8 for each group). Groups then consumed feed ad libitum for 40 (A40), 42 (A42), or 82 d (A82). The comp...

Effects of lactation length and weaning-to-conception interval on the subsequent litter size of purebred sows were estimated using an animal model. Data on 2,847 Landrace sows with 7,125 litters born between January 1989 and May 1997 and on 1,234 Yorkshire sows with 2,999 litters born between January 1990 and May 1997 were obtained from two Canadian selection herds. Sows having a lactation of l...

Background: Classical swine fever (CSF) is one of the most important viral diseases of pigs. Clinical signs may vary from almost inapparent infection to a hemorrhagic fever like illness. Among the host factors leading to different disease courses are age, breed, and immune status. The aim of this study was to compare host responses of different pig breeds upon infection with a recent moderately...

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a highly salt-tolerant species subdivided into five ecotypes and exhibiting broad intra-specific differences in tolerance levels. In a greenhouse study, Chilean landraces belonging either to the salares (R49) or coastal lowlands (VI-1, Villarrica) ecotype with contrasting agro-ecological origins were investigated for their responses to high salinity. The ef...
