Se considera existente una Unidad Industrial Agraria de Matadero y Sala de Despiece Anexa que consecuencia de los incrementos de matanza y despiece precisa una nueva instalación de depuración de sus aguas residuales, dado que las actuales han quedado obsoletas y no permiten alcanzar los límites de vertido que impone la legislación vigente. Se redacta el presente proyecto en base a la solicitud de la licencia de obras del Proyecto de Instalación de Estación Depuradora de Aguas Residuales (EDAR) con capacidad de tratamiento de 1200 m3/día, que posteriormente se justifica. Dicho proyecto se contempla como un cambio no sustancial dado que se plantea como la sustitución de los equipos actuales de depuración por nuevos equipos que permitan adecuarse a las nuevas condiciones de vertido, mucho más estrictas que las autorizadas actualmente, sin que ello provoque ninguna modificación significativa en los aspectos ambientales y de definición de la actividad principal (matadero y Sala despiece) ya perfectamente legalizada desde el año 1990. Es fundamental indicar que se actúa sobre los equipos de depuración de aguas y tratamiento de fangos, siendo por tanto una sustitución sumamente positiva y que no implica un incremento en los residuos generados sino todo lo contrario. Por parte de Avícola del Pla. se proyecta la nueva EDAR en terrenos de su propiedad que dispone en las parcelas núm. 40 y 41 del polígono 08 de Bellvís.

La genètica química en plantes constitueix una poderosa ferramenta en auge. Per a profunditzar en l’enteniment dels mecanismes defensius vegetals front a l’atac de microorganismes patògens es va realitzar un rastreig de molècules moduladores de l’expressió del gen Ep5C, que s’activa en resposta a l’aplicació de H2O2 y a l’atac de Pseudomonas syringae. S’ha utilizat el mutant ocp1 d’ Arabidopsis thaliana, obtés per mutagènesi a partir de plantes transgèniques pEp5C::GUS. Coneguda la relació d’Ep5C amb la RdDM gràcies a la implicació funcional d’OCP1 i OCP11, s’identifica a MOD18, MOD2 i MOD1 com a potencials molècules implicades en aquesta ruta. A més a més, s’identifica a MOD1 com a molècula activadora de les defenses a través de la ruta mediada per àcid salicílic.

En els darrers anys s’estan duent a terme transformacions dels sòl en la comarca del Priorat per plantar noves vinyes. Les transformacions realitzades han consistit en volteig d’horitzons i trituració de material, comportant canvis importants en les propietats físiques, químiques i hidrològiques del sòl. S’han identificat i quantificat els canvis, evidenciant alteracions importants en molts paràmetres, com una reducció de la matèria orgànica, capacitat de retenció d’aigua i conductivitat hidràulica, que dificulten l’estabilitat estructural del sòl, augmentant-ne l’escolament superficial i l’erosió, i dificultant el correcte desenvolupament de les plantes.

La detecció de soques hipovirulentes a Catalunya ha fet necessari l'estudi genètic de Cryphonectria hypovirus. Mitjançant mostrejos, es van obtenir les soques hipovirulentes i es va comprovar el seu caràcter hipovirulent mitjançant l'extracció del dsRNA. Mitjançant RT-PCR i RFLP es va estudiar la diversitat genètica de les poblacions de Cryphonectria hypovirus. En aquest estudi s'ha observat que la hipovirulència a Catalunya és encara un fenomen localitzat. D'altra banda, s'ha obervat certa diversitat genètica del hipovirus, fet que suggereix que C. hypovirus va ser introduït a Catalunya reiterades vegades. Aquestes reiterades introduccions de C. hypovirus també s'han observat a nivell parcel•lari. La majoria de les mostres pertanyen al subtipus CHV1-I, la qual cosa significa que és d'esperar un increment de la presència del hipovirus a les masses, en ser aquest subtipus el més adequat per dispersar en el medi. S'han detectat altres soques amb patrons RFLP encara no descrits, que podrien pertànyer a altres subtipus. Per tant, s'hauria de fer un estudi genètic més detallat d'aquestes mostres. D'altra banda, hi ha certa diversitat de GCVs associada a les soques amb l'hipovirus. Aquest fet podria suggerir que els GCVs presents a Catalunya tenen una bona capacitat per transmetre el virus o bé seria una altra evidència que C. hypovirus ha estat introduït reiteradament a Catalunya. Finalment s'ha detectat una zona especialment interessant amb diversitat de hipovirus i amb hipovirus encara no descrits, així com soques que podrien pertànyer a CHV1-E. Això suggereix que a la zona podria haver encara més diversitat del hipovirus i per tant podria ser interessant realitzar-hi nous mostreigs.

The origin of the carbon atoms in CO2 respired by leaves in the dark of several plant species has been studied using 13C/12C stable isotopes. This study was conducted using an open gas exchange system for isotope labeling that was coupled to an elemental analyser and further linked to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (EA-IRMS) or coupled to a gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometer (GC-C-IRMS). We demonstrate here that the carbon, which is recently assimilated during photosynthesis, accounts for nearly ca. 50% of the carbon in the CO2 lost through dark respiration after illumination in fast-growing and cultivated plants and trees and, accounts for only ca. 10% in slow-growing plants. Moreover, our study shows that fast- growing plants, which had the largest percentages of newly fixed carbon of leaf-respired CO2 , were also those with the largest shoot/root ratios, whereas slow-growing plants showed the lowest shoot/root values.

Extending the duration of the late reproductive phase in wheat has been proposed as a possible avenue to improve spike fertility. There is a positive correlation between the number of fertile florets and the duration of the stem elongation phase when this phase is varied by extended photoperiod. Photoperiod treatments imposed during the vegetative period also influence the duration of stem elongation. The present study analysed the effect of long photoperiod (19 h) of different duration (10, 12, 14, 18 or 22 d) imposed before the onset of stem elongation on floret fertility in wheat. It was found that the length of the stem elongation phase was modified by earlier ‘historic ’ photoperiod treatments imposed during previous phases. However, neither the number of fertile florets per spike nor the spikelet fertility was affected significantly by these historic treatments. The results of the study therefore showed that an increased duration of the late reproductive phase was ineffective in increasing the number of fertile florets, unless the length of that phase was directly altered by current photoperiod.

Differences in development among wheat cultivars are not only restricted to photoperiod and vernalization responses. When both requirements are fully satisfied differences may still arise due to earliness per se. It is not clear at present to what extent this trait is ‘ intrinsically ’ expressed (a constitutive trait) independently of the environmental conditions so that it might be selected under any thermal condition or if it may be altered to the extent of showing a crossover interaction with temperature in which the ranking of wheat genotypes may be altered. The present study assessed the influence of temperature on the intrinsic earliness for lines of diploid wheat characterized for their differences in a major gene for intrinsic earliness, but also possibly differing in their genetic background for other factors controlling this polygenic trait. To do so the lines were grown individually in two temperature regimes (16 and 23 xC) under long days having previously been fully vernalized. Multiple comparisons analyses were carried out among lines of the same allelic group for the Eps-Am1 gene. Results indicated that within each group there were lines that did not differ in their earliness per se, others differed but without exhibiting any linertemperature interaction and finally different types of interaction were shown, including cases where the ranking of lines was altered depending on the growing temperature. It is thus possible that the selection of a genotype based on its earliness per se in an environment might not represent the same performance in another location where temperature varied significantly.

The relationship between yield, carbon isotope discrimination and ash content in mature kernels was examined for a set of 13 barley (Hordeum vulgare) cultivars. Plants were grown under rainfed and well-irrigated conditions in a Mediterranean area. Water deficit caused a decrease in both grain yield and carbon isotope discrimination (Δ). The yield was positively related to Δ and negatively related to ash content, across genotypes within each treatment. However, whereas the correlation between yield and Δ was higher for the set of genotypes under well-irrigated (r=0.70, P<0.01) than under rainfed (r=0.42) conditions, the opposite occurred when yield and ash content were related, ie r=-0.38 under well-irrigated and r=-0.73, (P<0.01) under rainfed conditions. Carbon isotope discrimination and ash content together account for almost 60% of the variation in yield, in both conditions. There was no significant relationship (r=-0.15) between carbon isotope discrimination and ash content in well-irrigated plants, whereas in rainfed plants, this relationship, although significant (r=-0.54, P< 0.05), was weakly negative. The concentration of several mineral elements was measured in the same kernels. The mineral that correlated best with ash content, yield and A, was K. For yield and Δ, although the relationship with K followed the same pattern as the relationhip with ash content, the correlation coefficients were lower. Thus, mineral accumulation in mature kernels seems to be independent of transpiration efficiency. In fact, filling of grains takes place through the phloem pathway. The ash content in kernels is proposed as a complementary criterion, in addition to kernel Δ, to assess genotype differences in barley grain yield under rainfed conditions.

Mushroom picking has become a widespread autumn recreational activity in the Central Pyrenees and other regions of Spain. Predictive models that relate mushroom production or fungal species richness with forest stand and site characteristics are not available. This study used mushroom production data from 24 Scots pine plots over 3 years to develop a predictive model that could facilitate forest management decisions when comparing silvicultural options in terms of mushroom production. Mixed modelling was used to model the dependence of mushroom production on stand and site factors. The results showed that productions were greatest when stand basal area was approximately 20 m2 ha-1. Increasing elevation and northern aspect increased total mushroom production as well as the production of edible and marketed mushrooms. Increasing slope decreased productions. Marketed Lactarius spp., the most important group collected in the region, showed similar relationships. The annual variation in mushroom production correlated with autumn rainfall. Mushroom species richness was highest when the total production was highest.

La contribución de los análisis de semillas y frutos a la reconstrucción paleoambiental es más reducida que la de otras disciplinas paleobotánicas, aunque su aportación es fundamental ya que permite identificar a nivel de especie numerosas plantas. No obstante, los problemas en su interpretación son múltiples, lo que hace muy compleja su interpretación paleoecológica. La principal dificultad deriva del hecho de que la mayor parte de los restos provienen de yacimientos arqueológicos, a los cuales han llegado como resultado directo o indirecto de una actividad antrópica. Los de plantas silvestres -mejores indicadoras del entorno de las zonas de hábitat- se conservan principalmente en condiciones anaeróbicas, siendo, pues, los yacimientos de medio húmedo los idóneos para el estudio paleoambiental.

Les plantes transgèniques són una part integral de l’agricultura contemporània. Durant l’any 2006 més de noranta milions d’hectàrees de plantes transgèniques van ser cultivades en vint-i-un països. Des de la comercialització de la primera planta transgènica el 1996 els nivells d’adopció d’aquests cultius han augmentat anualment amb percentatges de dos dígits. El desenvolupament i la comercialització de les plantes transgèniques van lligats estretament al comerç mundial, a la globalització, a la disponibilitat de suficient menjar, a la protecció del medi ambient i del consumidor i a la propietat intel·lectual. En aquest article exposem els avenços més recents i les tendències actuals en el desenvolupament dels cultius transgènics i de la seva utilització. També ens fem ressò d’alguns assumptes no científics que s’han de solucionar abans que aquests cultius arribin al màxim del seu potencial, proporcionant una agricultura més sostenible i ecològica. Finalment, ressaltarem la importància de com les plantes transgèniques poden contribuir en la disponibilitat de menjar i en la millora de la pobresa en els països en vies de desenvolupament.

Background: Experimental evidences demonstrate that vegetable derived extracts inhibit cholesterol absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. To further explore the mechanisms behind, we modeled duodenal contents with several vegetable extracts. Results: By employing a widely used cholesterol quantification method based on a cholesterol oxidase-peroxidase coupled reaction we analyzed the effects on cholesterol partition. Evidenced interferences were analyzed by studying specific and unspecific inhibitors of cholesterol oxidase-peroxidase coupled reaction. Cholesterol was also quantified by LC/MS. We found a significant interference of diverse (cocoa and tea-derived) extracts over this method. The interference was strongly dependent on model matrix: while as in phosphate buffered saline, the development of unspecific fluorescence was inhibitable by catalase (but not by heat denaturation), suggesting vegetable extract derived H2O2 production, in bile-containing model systems, this interference also comprised cholesterol-oxidase inhibition. Several strategies, such as cholesterol standard addition and use of suitable blanks containing vegetable extracts were tested. When those failed, the use of a mass-spectrometry based chromatographic assay allowed quantification of cholesterol in models of duodenal contents in the presence of vegetable extracts. Conclusions: We propose that the use of cholesterol-oxidase and/or peroxidase based systems for cholesterol analyses in foodstuffs should be accurately monitored, as important interferences in all the components of the enzymatic chain were evident. The use of adequate controls, standard addition and finally, chromatographic analyses solve these issues.

Cereal cyst nematode (CCN, Heterodera avenae) and Hessian fly (HF, Mayetiola destructor) are two major pests affecting wheat crops worldwide including important cereal areas of Spain. Aegilops ventricosa and Ae. triuncialis were used as donors in a strategy to introduce resistance genes (RG) for these pests in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Two 42 chromosomes introgression lines have been derived from Ae. ventricosa: H-93-8 and H-93-33 carrying genes Cre2 and H27 conferring resistance to CCN and HF, respectively. Line TR-3531 with 42 chromosomes has been derived from Ae. triuncialis and carries RGs conferring resistance for CCN (Cre7) and for HF (H30). Alien material has been incorporated in lines H-93 by chromosomal substitution and recombination, while in line TR-3531 homoeologous recombination affecting small DNA fragments has played a major role. It has been demonstrated that Cre2, Cre7, H27 and H30 are major single dominant genes and not allelic of other previously described RGs. Biochemical and molecular-biology studies of the defense mechanism triggered by Cre2 and Cre7 have revealed specific induction of peroxidase and other antioxidant enzymes. In parallel to these basic studies advanced lines carrying resistance genes for CNN and/or HF have been developed. Selection was done using molecular markers for eventually «pyramiding» resistance genes. Several isozyme and RAPD markers have been described and, currently, new markers based on transposable elements and NBS-LRR sequences are being developed. At present, two advanced lines have already been included at the Spanish Catalogue of Commercial Plant Varieties.
