Mineralogy and chemical composition of lower cretaceous ceramic clays from Estercuel basin (Teruel, Spain)
Belgian Ceramic Research Centre (2009-06)A group of clays with industrial application have been studied. The clays come form a mining area in Teruel, and in particular form the area located between Arino and Crivillen, where clay industries are situated. In ... -
Geological and environmental management of ceramic clay quarries: a review
Springer-Verlag (2009-06)This paper shows a contribution to the knowledge of the geological management of ceramic raw material. We have mainly focussed on the clays with a ceramic interest. The article begins with an introduction to the mineralogical ... -
Prospección geológica, mineralogía y ceramicidad de arcillas blancas de Litueche, VI Región de Chile
Sociedad Española de Mineralogía (2009-09)El presente trabajo es una aportación al conocimiento de arcillas cerámicas de la VI Región “Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins” de Chile. Se identifica geológicamente el afloramiento, se dispone de material representativo ... -
Hexanoic Acid-Induced Resistance Against Botrytis cinerea in Tomato Plants
The American Phytopathological Society (2009-11)We have demonstrated that root treatment with hexanoic acid protects tomato plants against Botrytis cinerea. Hexanoic acid-induced resistance (Hx-IR) was blocked in the jasmonic acid (JA)-insensitive mutant jai1 (a coi1 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Potential of an indigenous strain of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana as a biological control agent against the Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus
Elsevier (2010)The potential of a strain of Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Clavicipitaceae) obtained from a naturally infected Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) pupa as a biological control agent against this weevil ... -
Evaluation and selection of tomato accessions (Solanum section Lycopersicon) for content of lycopene, β-carotene and ascorbic acid
Elsevier (2010)Tomato has been identified as a food of great interest given its nutritional and bioactive components (mainly lycopene, β-carotene and ascorbic acid) and its high consumption rate all year round. Previous works have indicated ... -
Common and divergent physiological, hormonal and metabolic responses of Arabidopsis thaliana and Thellungiella halophila to water and salt stress
Elsevier (2010)To explain the higher tolerance of Thellungiella to abiotic stress in comparison to Arabidopsis, several studies have focused on differences in ion absorption and gene expression. However, little is known about hormone ... -
