Can interactions among predators alter the natural regulation of an herbivore in a climate change scenario? The case of Tetranychus urticae and its predators in citrus
Springer (2019-06)Climate change can dramatically affect the food web configuration of arthropod communities through its effects on species interactions. We have studied whether these effects could alter the probability of local extinction ... -
Can Plant Defence Mechanisms Provide New Approaches for the Sustainable Control of the Two- Spotted Spider Mite Tetranychus urticae?
MDPI (2018-02)Tetranychus urticae (T. urticae) Koch is a cosmopolitan, polyphagous mite which causes economic losses in both agricultural and ornamental plants. Some traits of T. urticae hamper its management, including a short life ... -
Can pollen provision mitigate competition interactions between three phytoseiid predators of Tetranychus urticae under future climate change conditions?
Elsevier (2022-02)Biological control can be severely disrupted by hot and dry environmental conditions associated with climate change. These conditions may alter the food web configuration of arthropod communities through their effects on ... -
Can summer and fall vegetative growth regulate the incidence of Tetranychus urticae Koch on clementine fruit?
Elsevier (2008)Fruit scarring caused by Tetranychus urticae is one of the main pest problems faced by Spanish clementine growers as it can downgrade the quality of the fruit completely. T. urticae infestations concentrate on fruit at the ... -
Can we forecast the effects of climate changeon entomophagous biological control agents?
Wiley (2014)The worldwide climate has been changing rapidly over the past decades. Air temperatures have been increasing in most regions and will probably continue to rise for most of the present century, regardless of any mitigation ... -
Carrizo citrange plants do not require the presence of roots to modulate the response to osmotic stress
Hindawi Publishing Corporation (2012-06)The study of the effects of a specific stress condition on the performance of plants grown under field conditions is difficult due to interactions among multiple abiotic and biotic factors affecting the system. In vitro ... -
Cell Wall Remodeling in Abscission Zone Cells during Ethylene-Promoted Fruit Abscission in Citrus
Frontiers Media (2017-02-08)Abscission is a cell separation process by which plants can shed organs such as fruits, leaves, or flowers. The process takes place in specific locations termed abscission zones. In fruit crops like citrus, fruit abscission ... -
Ceramic behaviour of five Chilean clays which can be used in the manufacture of ceramic tile bodies
Elsevier (2010)This study is focussed on the behaviour of ceramic clays from Chile which has an important local ceramic industry. Five deposits of clays with industrial application have been studied. The clays come from San Vicente de ... -
Ceramic behaviour of some clay deposits from Guayas province, Ecuador: Preliminary study
Elsevier (2014-11)This note is a preliminary study from mineralogical and chemical points of view about the possibility of using local clays from Ecuador in industrial ceramics. The chemical and mineralogical composition of clays was ... -
Changes in predation and parasitism of the citrus leafminer Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) populations in Spain following establishment of Citrostichus phyllocnistoides (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)
Elsevier (2010)The citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella, is a pest native to Southeast Asia which threatened the citrus industry in the Mediterranean region upon its introduction in 1993. Immediately afterward, a classical biological ... -
Characterization of Citrus WRKY transcription factors and their responses to phytohormones and abiotic stresses
Springer Verlag (2018-01)WRKY transcription factors (TF) family is involved in a huge variety of plant processes, including seed germination, plant development, phytohormone signalling, and defence against both biotic or abiotic stresses. In this ... -
Characterization of the Salinisation Processes in Aquifers Using Boron Isotopes; Application to South-Eastern Spain
Springer Netherlands (2008)Use of δ11B provides a solid tool for discriminating hydrogeochemical processes in complex coastal aquifers. Its efficiency increases markedly when it is applied along with other major or minor constituents. Nevertheless, ... -
Characterization of the settleable and suspended particles to solve an air quality problem
PSP - Parlar Scientific Publications (2008-10)The main objective of this study is to characterise the settleable and suspended air particles of an industrialized area close to a population centre as a result of the com-plaints lodged by citizens to the town council ... -
Chemical priming of immunity without costs to plant growth
Wiley (2018)b-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) induces broad-spectrum disease resistance, but also represses plant growth, which has limited its exploitation in crop protection. BABA perception relies on binding to the aspartyl-tRNA synthetase ... -
Chilling-dependent release of seed and bud dormancy in peach associates to common changes in gene expression
Public Library of Science (2012)Reproductive meristems and embryos display dormancy mechanisms in specialized structures named respectively buds and seeds that arrest the growth of perennial plants until environmental conditions are optimal for survival. ... -
Chloroplasts Modulate Elongation Responses to Canopy Shade by Retrograde Pathways Involving HY5 and Abscisic Acid
American Society of Plant Biologists (2019-02)Plants use light as energy for photosynthesis but also as a signal of competing vegetation. Using different concentrations of norflurazon and lincomycin, we found that the response to canopy shade in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis ... -
Citrus junos as a host of citrus bacterial canker.
(2017-06-20)Following a request from the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Plant Health (PLH) Panel analysed a dossier submitted by the Japanese authorities in order to clarify the host status of Citrus ... -
Citrus plants exude proline and phytohormones under abiotic stress conditions
