European Food Safe Authority (EFSA) (2018-08-31)EFSA was asked for a partial risk assessment of Spodoptera frugiperda for the territory of the EU focussing on the main pathways for entry, factors affecting establishment, risk reduction options and pest management. As ... -
Pest status of leafminers in cider-apples: The case of orchards in Asturias (NW Spain)
Elsevier (2011-11)Microlepidopterous leafminers are a potential threat to Spanish cider-apple orchards. For pest management purposes it is important 1) to know the species composition, their incidence and their spatial distribution and 2) ... -
Pezothrips kellyanus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) nymphs on orange fruit: importance of the second generation for its management
Florida Entomological Society (2015)Kelly’s citrus thrips Pezothrips kellyanus (Bagnall) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a new pest of oranges in New Zealand, southern Australia, and the Mediterranean Basin. The nymphs of this thrips can damage the fruit from ... -
Phenotypic and genetic diversity of Spanish tomato landraces
Elsevier (2013-10)The structure of Spanish landraces of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) has been analyzed. This diversity has been evaluated using agro-morphological characteristics (43 descriptors), quality parameters (solid soluble ... -
Phosphate-induced resistance to pathogen infection in Arabidopsis
Wiley (2022-01-21)In nature, plants are concurrently exposed to a number of abiotic and biotic stresses. Our understanding of convergence points between responses to combined biotic/abiotic stress pathways remains, however, rudimentary. ... -
Phosphite shifts physiological and hormonal profile of Monterey pine and delays Fusarium circinatum progression
Elsevier (2017)Fusarium circinatum is the causal agent of pitch canker disease affecting Pinus spp. and Pseudotsuga menziesii worldwide. Under strict quarantine measures, alternative approaches for disease control are necessary. Phosphite ... -
Photoreceptor Activity Contributes to Contrasting Responses to Shade in Cardamine and Arabidopsis Seedlings
American Society of Plant Biologists (2019)Plants have evolved two major ways to deal with nearby vegetation or shade: avoidance and tolerance. Moreover, some plants respond to shade in different ways; for example, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) undergoes an ... -
Photosynthetic and antioxidant responses of Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia) plants to Citrus tristeza virus infection
Wiley (2015)The effect of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) infection on photosynthetic activity and antioxidant metabolism was analysedin plants of the highly susceptible citrus genotype Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia). Two virus isolates ... -
Phylogenetic analysis of secondary metabolites in a plant community provides evidence for trade-offs between biotic and abiotic stress tolerance
Springer (2020-04-16)Plants' responses to conflicting stresses may result in physiological trade-offs due to the inter-dependent and costly nature of physiological investments. Physiological tradeoffs have been proved within species, but to ... -
