ABSTRACT.- Among the most important sap-sucking insect pests (Hemiptera) of eucalypts are psyllids (Sternorrhyncha) and true bugs (Heteroptera). Damage inflicted to
trees by these insectsmay include significant leaf area loss, to weakening or tree death. High pest populations may affect a significant proportion of trees within commercial
stands, leading to large losses in forest productivity. Among the more than 400 species of Australian Hemiptera associated with eucalypts, eight psyllid species and

ABSTRACT.- Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food for over half of the world's population. With population growth, socioeconomic changes, and shifting consumer lifestyles, the demand for high-quality rice has surged. Understanding consumer preferences for rice quality traits is crucial for breeders to effectively address evolving market needs. Rice breeding programs assess various quality aspects, including grain shape, appearance, milling efficiency, and cooking and eating qualities.

ABSTRACT.- The rising demand for sustainably and ethically produced alternatives to animal protein-rich foods has driven interest in plant-based meat analogues. This study evaluated the potential of lupin flour (LF), protein isolate (LPI), and their blends with soy protein isolate (SPI) to produce high-moisture meat analogues (HMMAs) through extrusion cooking. Six SPI-LF-LPI blends, with protein contents ranging from 64.5% to 80.5%, were extruded under three feed moisture contents (FMC) of 60%, 65%, and 70%.

ABSTRACT.- The intensification of irrigated rice production systems requires a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of pesticide use. Here, we investigated the behavior of the herbicide glyphosate (GLY) and its metabolite aminophosphonic acid (AMPA), throughout four rice rotations (continuous rice cropping (RC), ricesoybean (R-S), rice-short term pasture (R-PS) and rice-long term pasture R-PL) reflecting different agricultural intensification scenarios in a long-term experimental (LTE) site. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT.- This study analyzed the impact of land use and cover changes, along with climate variability, on water consumption by quantifying actual evapotranspiration ((Formula presented.)) in the Tres Cruces River basin (TCR) in Uruguay. Using Landsat 8 and 9 images from 2014 to 2024, the SAFER method (Simple Algorithm for Evapotranspiration Retrieving), applied for the first time in Uruguay, estimated (Formula presented.) for natural vegetation (grasslands and riparian forests) and commercial afforestation areas.

ABSTRACT.- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by severe joint inflammation, synovial hyperplasia and degradation of the cartilage and bone in the joint. Patients with RA have an amplified T helper (Th) 1 and Th17 immune response and production of autoantibodies by autoreactive B cells. In the joint, macrophages mediate bone destruction and maintain the inflammatory process in RA.

ABSTRACT.- Ovine footrot has Dichelobacter nodosus as the primary pathogen, and it is characterized by its infectious and multifactorial nature, such as environmental conditions, management practices, and host susceptibility, leading to variable prevalence and economic impacts across regions. The present study investigated factors associated with footrot scores in individual sheep from a non-probabilistic sample of 60 flocks enrolled by the Uruguayan Wool Secretariat, from which 6,139 sheep had their feet clinically evaluated from 2021 to 2024. PCR was employed to confirm D.
