Modulation of Antioxidant Defense System Is Associated with Combined Drought and Heat Stress Tolerance in Citrus
Frontiers Media (2017-06)Drought and high temperatures are two major abiotic stress factors that often occur simultaneously in nature, affecting negatively crop performance and yield. Moreover, these environmental challenges induce oxidative ... -
Modulation of organic acids and sugar content in tomato fruits by an abscisic acid-regulated transcription factor
Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA (2010-12-23)Growing evidence suggests that the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a role in fruit development. ABA signaling components of developmental programs and responses to stress conditions include the group of basic leucine ... -
Modulation of the antioxidant system in citrus under waterlogging and subsequent drainage
Elsevier (2009)Soil flooding induces an impairment of the photosynthetic system that often leads to an accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant tissues. Moreover, flooding release by drainage can cause a sudden oxygen burst ... -
Molecular characterization of Cardinium, Rickettsia, Spiroplasma and Wolbachia in mite species from citrus orchards
Springer (2020)Tetranychidae spider mites are considered key citrus pests in some production areas, especially Tetranychus urticae Koch. Over the past decades, pesticide overuse seems to have promoted T. urticae population selection in ... -
Molecular tools for sterile sperm detection to monitorCeratitis capitatapopulations under SIT programmes
Wiley (2013)BACKGROUND: The success of an area-wide sterile insect technique (SIT) programme against Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) relies on the mating success of sterile males in the field. Limited information ... -
Morphological Characterization of Indoor Airborne Particles in Seven Primary Schools
MDPI (2020-05-03)This paper focuses on a study of fine (less than 2.5 µm) airborne particles collected inside seven primary schools located on a coastal Mediterranean area which has a significant industrial hub for the processing of clays ... -
Morphology and Development of the Immature Stages of Brachyufens osborni (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), an Egg Parasitoid of Broad-Nosed Weevil Species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Entomological Society of America (2009)The external morphology and development of the immature stages of Brachyufens osborni (Dozier) (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), a Nearctic solitary endoparasitoid of the eggs of Pachnaeus spp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), ... -
Movilidad y eficacia del imidacloprid y la abamectina para el control del picudo rojo de las palmeras mediante distintos métodos de aplicación
LAV (2015-05)El picudo rojo, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, es actualmente la plaga más destructiva de las palmeras en todo el mundo. Debido a su difícil detección en las primeras etapas de infestación, la utilización de medidas preventivas, ... -
Multiple indole glucosinolates and myrosinases defend Arabidopsis against Tetranychus urticae herbivory
American Society of Plant Biologists (2021-06-19)rabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) defenses against herbivores are regulated by the jasmonate (JA) hormonal signaling pathway, which leads to the production of a plethora of defense compounds. Arabidopsis defense compounds ... -
Mycorrhiza l tomato plants fine tunes the growth‐defencebalance upon N depleted root environments
Wiley (2018)In low nutritive environments, the uptake of N by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi may confercompetitive advantages for the host. The present study aims to understand how mycorrhizaltomato plants perceive and then prepare ... -
Mycorrhizal symbiosis primes the accumulation of antiherbivore compounds and enhances herbivore mortality in tomato
Oxford University Press (2021-04-22)Plant association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can increase their ability to overcome multiple stresses, but their impact on plant interactions with herbivorous insects is controversial. Here we show higher ... -
NaCl protects against Cd and Cu-induced toxicity in the halophyte Atriplex halimus
Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA) (2016)The objective of the present work was to evaluate the extent of Cd- and Cu-induced oxidative stress and the antioxidant response triggered in the halophyte species Atriplex halimus after metallic trace elements exposure. ... -
New approaches to improve crop tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses
John Wiley & Sons (2021-09-04)During the last years, a great effort has been dedicated at the development and employment of diverse approaches for achieving more stress-tolerant and climate-flexible crops and sustainable yield increases to meet the ... -
New insights into the role of indole-3-acetic acid in the virulence of Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi
Wiley Online Library (2014)Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a widespread phytohormone among plant-associated bacteria, including the tumour-inducing pathogen of woody hosts, Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi. A phylogenetic analysis of the iaaM/iaaH ... -
New opportunities for developing tomato varieties with enhanced carotenoid content
Universidade de Sao Paulo (2016)The development of varieties with a high content of antioxidant compounds, such as carotenoids, has become a major focus in the marketing of tomato. Several mutants have been used in the development of high pigment ... -
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 ... -
NH4+ induces antioxidant cellular machinery and provides resistance to salt stress in citrus plants
