Stage-Related Defense Response Induction in Tomato Plants by Nesidiocoris tenuis
(MDPI, 2016-07-27)
The beneficial effects of direct predation by zoophytophagous biological control agents (BCAs), such as the mirid bug Nesidiocoris tenuis , are well-known. However, the benefits of
zoophytophagous BCAs’ ...
Intraguild predation and competitive displacement between Nesidiocoris tenuis and Dicyphus maroccanus, 2 biological control agents in tomato pests
(Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2016-07)
Dicyphus maroccanus Wagner and Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Hemiptera:
Miridae) are 2 biological control agents in tomatoes. Through the crop seasons, a natural
shift in the occurrence of both mirids in favor of N. tenuis ...
The nitrogen availability interferes with mycorrhiza-induced resistance against botrytis cinerea in tomato
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
Mycorrhizal plants are generally quite efficient in coping with environmental challenges. It has been shown that the symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can confer resistance against root and foliar pathogens, ...
Systemic resistance in citrus to Tetranychus urticae induced by conspecifics is transmitted by grafting and mediated by mobile amino acids
(Oxford University PressSociety for Experimental Biology, 2016-09)
Recent research suggests that systemic signalling and communication between roots and leaves plays an important role in plant defence against herbivores. In the present study, we show that the oviposition of the two-spotted ...
Putrescine Biosynthesis Inhibition in Tomato by DFMA and DFMO Treatment
(Bio-protocol LLC, 2016)
This protocol can be used to inhibit the biosynthesis of polyamines, specifically putrescine,
in tomato plants grown with NH4
+ as a solely N source. In general, polyamines are positively charged
small metabolites ...
Spatial characterization of the seawater upconing process in a coastal Mediterranean aquifer (Plana de Castellón, Spain): evolution and controls
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
In this contribution, we describe the formation and evolution of the upconing process in a Mediterranean coastal aquifer. The study area has experienced severe salinization over the last 40 years because of intensive ...
A New Bayesian Inference Methodology for Modeling Geochemical Elements in Soil with Covariates. Characterization of Lithium in South Iberian Range (Spain)
(Global Journals Inc., 2016)
When the scientific need to model
geochemical
elements in soil, is using geostatistical methodologies, for
instance krigings, but we can use a new possibility with
Bayesian Inference. The ...
Resilience and robustness of IPM in protected horticulture in the face of potential invasive pests
(Elsevier, 2016-11-11)
Recently, various approaches for the biological control of major pests in protected crops have successfully
been adopted. These successes have primarily occurred via the selection, release and/or conservation of
generalist ...
Effect of different substrates for organic agriculture in seedling development of traditional species of Solanaceae
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2016)
Sowing of seedlings is one of the most critical processes on the establishment of a crop, since the future development of the plant depends largely on its health when is planted on the field. Moreover, organic agriculture ...
The effects of postharvest carbon dioxide and a cold storage treatment on Tuta absoluta mortality and tomato fruit quality
(Elsevier, 2016-10)
Tuta absoluta is an invasive pest species that affects tomatoes and other solanaceous crops and is found in Europe and other Mediterranean areas. Hitherto, fumigation with methyl bromide is the only measure used to control ...
