• openAccess   Belowground ABA boosts aboveground production of DIMBOA and primes induction of chlorogenic acid in maize 

      Erb, Matthias; Gordon-Weeks, Ruth; Flors, Victor; Camañes, Gemma; Turlings, Ted C. J.; Ton, Jurriaan Landes Bioscience (2009)
      Plants are important mediators between above- and below- ground herbivores. Consequently, interactions between root and shoot defenses can have far-reaching impacts on entire food webs. We recently reported that infestation ...
    • openAccess   Deciphering mechanisms underlying Mycorrhizal Induced Resistance in tomato plants 

      Sanmartín Martínez, Neus Universitat Jaume I (2021-07-21)
      En esta tesis doctoral he tratado de descifrar algunos de los mecanismos tras la Resistencia Inducida por Micorrizas (MIR). Las plantas micorrizadas son más sensibles y perciben más rápido un futuro estrés. Esto está ...
    • openAccess   Examining talker effects in the perception of native- and foreign-accented speech 

      González-Álvarez, Julio; McLennan, Conor T. Springer (2012-07)
      Understanding the circumstances under which talker (and other types of) variability affects language perception represents an important area of research in the field of spoken word recognition. Previous work has demonstrated ...
    • openAccess   Hemispheric Differences in Specificity Effects in Talker Identification 

      González-Álvarez, Julio; Cervera Crespo, Teresa; McLennan, Conor T. Psychonomic Society (2010)
      In the visual domain, Marsolek and colleagues have found support for two dissociable and parallel neural subsystems underlying object and shape recognition: an abstract-category subsystem that operates more effectively in ...
    • closedAccess   Identification of indole-3-carboxylic acid as mediator of priming against Plectosphaerella cucumerina 

      Gamir, Jordi; Pastor, Victoria; Cerezo García, Miguel; Flors, Victor Elsevier (2012)
      Plant resistance against the necrotrophic pathogen Plectosphaerella cucumerina is mediated by a combination of several hormonal-controlled signalling pathways. The priming agent β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is able to induce ...
    • openAccess   Induced resistance in citrus by hexanoic acid 

      Llorens Vilarrocha, Eugenio Universitat Jaume I (2014-12-09)
      The hexanoic acid is a short chain carboxylic acid that have demonstrated to be effective as Resistance inducer in plants against several pathogens. In this work we showed that this compound is effective in citrus in against ...
    • closedAccess   Involvement of brain catalase activity in the acquisition of ethanol-induced conditioned place preference 

      Font Hurtado, Laura; MIQUEL, MARTA; González Aragón, Carlos Manuel Elsevier (2008)
      It has been suggested that some of the behavioral effects produced by ethanol are mediated by its first metabolite, acetaldehyde. The present research addressed the hypothesis that catalase-dependent metabolism of ethanol ...
    • closedAccess   Primed plants do not forget 

      Pastor, Victoria; Luna Diez, Estrella; Mauch-Mani, Brigitte; Ton, Jurriaan; Flors, Victor Elsevier (2013)
      In their struggle for life, plants can employ sophisticated strategies to defend themselves against potentially harmful pathogens and insects. One mechanism by which plants can increase their level of resistance is by ...
    • openAccess   Priming of plant resistance by natural compounds. Hexanoic acid as a model 

      Aranega Bou, Paz; Leyva, María de la O; Finiti, Iván; García Agustín, Pilar; González-Bosch, Carmen Frontiers Media (2014-10-01)
      Some alternative control strategies of currently emerging plant diseases are based on the use of resistance inducers. This review highlights the recent advances made in the characterization of natural compounds that induce ...
    • closedAccess   Priming for JA-dependent defenses using hexanoic acid is an effective mechanism to protect Arabidopsis against B. cinerea 

      Kravchuk, Zhana; Vicedo, Begonya; Flors, Victor; Camañes, Gemma; González-Bosch, Carmen; García Agustín, Pilar Elsevier (2011)
      Soil drench treatments with hexanoic acid can effectively protect Arabidopsis plants against Botrytis cinerea through a mechanism based on a stronger and faster accumulation of JA-dependent defenses. Plants impaired in ...
    • openAccess   Redox homeostasis, callose and hormonal responses in primed defenses 

      Pastor Fuentes, María Victoria Universitat Jaume I (2012-07-25)
      Las plantas, debido a que no pueden desplazarse cuando el ambiente no les es favorable, han desarrollado una inmunidad innata que les permite ser resistentes a casi todos los microbios e insectos. El priming de las defensas ...
    • closedAccess   Root-to-shoot signalling in mycorrhizal tomato plants upon Botrytis cinerea infection
