Term pregnancy in a bitch with a disorder of sexual development
Pires, M.A.; Gomes, E.; Frada, M.; Machado, J.P.; Vieira, L.; Martins-Bessa, A.C.; Payan-Carreira, R.Introduction: Disorders of sexual development (DSD) present a wide range of morphological abnormalities that often draw the attention of practitioners. Descriptions of fertility and pregnancy in such animals is rare. Here we describe a case of term pregnancy in a DSD bitch. Materials and Methods: During the clinical examination of a female Argentino dog due to a hindlimb lesion, signs of term pregnancy were obs...
The swinholide biosynthesis gene cluster from a terrestrial cyanobacterium, Nos...
Humisto, A.; Jokela ,J.; Liu, L.; Wahlsten, M.; Wang, H.; Permi, P.; Machado, J.P.; Antunes, A.; Fewer, D.P.; Sivonen, K.Swinholides are 42-carbon ring polyketides with a 2-fold axis of symme- try. They are potent cytotoxins that disrupt the actin cytoskeleton. Swinholides were discovered from the marine sponge Theonella sp. and were long suspected to be produced by symbiotic bacteria. Misakinolide, a structural variant of swinholide, was recently demonstrated to be the product of a symbiotic heterotrophic proteobacte- rium. Here...
Cover cropping in a sloping, non-irrigated vineyard: 1 - effects on weed compos...
Monteiro, Ana; Lopes, C.M.; Machado, J.P.; Fernandes, N.; Araújo, A.The influence of two sward treatments and soil cultivation on the composition, the structure, and the evolution of the biomass of vineyard weed communities was examined. The 3-year study (2002-2004) was carried out in a sloping, non-irrigated vineyard, cv. ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’, in the Estremadura winegrowing region of Portugal. The experimental treatments were: soil tillage (control); permanent sown cover crop ...

Monteiro, Ana; Lopes, C.M.; Machado, J.P.; Fernandes, N.; Araújo, A.Grapevine vegetative growth, yield, fruit composition and wine quality were studied in the Estremadura Winegrowing Region of Portugal in a ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ slopping non-irrigated vineyard. During three seasons three treatments were compared: soil tillage (control), permanent resident vegetation, and permanent sown cover crop. When compared to soil tillage, the inter-row sward treatments displayed a lower pr...
Enrelvamento da vinha: dois casos de estudo – Monção e Alenquer
Monteiro, A.; Lopes, C.M.; Afonso, J.M.; Machado, J.P.; Lourenço, J.; Fernandes, N.; Carvalho, L.; Moreira, I.Estudos conducentes à avaliação das possibilidades de enrelvamento em vinhas estão a decorrer na Região dos Vinhos Verdes (sub-região de Monção) e na Estremadura (Alenquer). No ensaio de Monção, com a casta ‘Alvarinho’ e no ensaio em Alenquer, com a casta ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’, comparam-se 4 sistemas de gestão do solo. Em qualquer dos ensaios a densidade e a biomassa total da flora foi influenciada significativa...
