Priming for JA-dependent defenses using hexanoic acid is an effective mechanism to protect Arabidopsis against B. cinerea
(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 ...
Role of 9-Lipoxygenase and α-Dioxygenase Oxylipin Pathways as Modulators of Local and Systemic Defense
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
Plant 9-lipoxygenases (9-LOX) and α-dioxygenases (α-DOX) initiate the synthesis of oxylipins after bacterial infection. Here, the role of these enzymes in plants’ defense was investigated using individual Arabidopsis ...
Deposition of heavy metals from particulate settleable matter in soils of an industrialised area
(Elsevier, 2012)
Particulate air pollutants from industrial emissions and natural resource exploitation represent an important contribution to soil contamination. These atmospheric particles, usually settleable particulate (which settle ...
Does host adaptation of Tetranychus urticae populations in clementine orchards with a Festuca arundinacea cover contribute to a better natural regulation of this pest mite?
(Wiley-BlackwellThe Netherlands Entomological Society, 2012)
Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a key pest of clementine mandarins, Citrus clementina Tanaka (Rutaceae), in Spain. This mite is highly polyphagous and can be easily found in clementine orchards, both in ...
DNA Barcoding and Phylogeny of Acari Species Based on ITS and COI Markers
(Wiley, 2022-06-21)
Acari harbor numerous minute species of agricultural economic importance, mainly Tetranychidae and Phytoseiidae. Great
efforts have been established by means of recovering morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic traits ...
Soil moisture heterogeneity regulates water use in Populus nigra L. by altering root and xylem sap phytohormone concentrations
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Soil moisture heterogeneity in the root zone is common both during the establishment of tree seedlings and in
experiments aiming to impose semi-constant soil moisture deficits, but its effects on regulating plant water ...
Bi-directional, long-distance hormonal signalling between roots and shoots of soil water availability
(Wiley, 2022-05-08)
While the importance of plant water relations in determining crop response to soil water availability is difficult to over-emphasise, under many circumstances, plants maintain their leaf water status as the soil dries yet ...
Loss-of-function of NITROGEN LIMITATION ADAPTATION confers disease resistance in Arabidopsis by modulating hormone signaling and camalexin content
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2022-07-15)
Phosphorus is an important macronutrient required for plant growth and development. It is absorbed by the roots in the form of inorganic phosphate (Pi). Under Pi limiting conditions, plants activate the Phosphate Starvation ...
Evaluation of an oil dispersion formulation of imidacloprid as a drench against Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) in young palm trees
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
BACKGROUND: The red palm weevil,Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), is a phytophagous insect that feeds on soft succulent
tissues of most palm species and is considered the main palm pest in the Middle East and the ...
Next-generation systemic acquired resistance
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2012)
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant immune response to pathogen attack. Recent evidence suggests that plant
immunity involves regulation by chromatin remodeling and DNA methylation. We investigated whether SAR ...
