Genomic footprints of dryland stress adaptation in Egyptian fat-tail sheep and their divergence from East African and western Asia cohorts by Mwacharo, Joram M., Eui-Soo Kim, Elbeltagy, Ahmed R.A.E., Aboul-Naga, A.M., Rischkowsky, Barbara A., Rothschild, Max F.

“…In particular, we found selection sweeps spanning genes and/or pathways associated with metabolism; response to stress, ultraviolet radiation, oxidative stress and DNA damage repair; activation of immune response; regulation of reproduction, organ function and development, body size and morphology, skin and hair pigmentation, and keratinization. Our findings provide insights on the complexity of genome architecture regarding dryland stress adaptation in the fat-tail sheep and showcase the indigenous stocks as appropriate genotypes for adaptation planning to sustain livestock production and human livelihoods, under future climates.…”

Pretreatments Effect in Drying Behaviour and Colour of Mature and Immature ‘Napolitana’ Sweet Cherries by Pirone, Beatriz N., De Michelis, Antonio, Salvatori, Daniela Marisol

“…Drying was carried out at 70 °C with air at 4 m/s speed and 8 % relative humidity, and fruits were subjected to the following pretreatments: B (blanching), F (freezing), P (pitting), B + Dip1 (blanching and immersion in acid solution) and B + Dip1 + Dip2 (blanching and immersion in saline acid solution) which affected the drying behaviour and the colour retention of fruits for both maturity degrees. Regarding skin colour in terms of chroma and hunter a parameters, the anthocyanin retention and the evaluation of anthocyanin degradation index, both B + dip1 and B + dip1 + dip2 pretreatments led to better-quality dry products, mainly in mature cherries. …”
