Evaluation of the genotype, environment and their interaction on carotenoid and ascorbic acid accumulation in tomato germplasm
Wiley-Blackwell (2011-04)BACKGROUND: Tomatoes are an important source of antioxidants (carotenoids, vitamin C, etc.) owing to their high level of consumption. There is great interest in developing cultivars with increased levels of lycopene, ... -
The overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana of aTrichoderma harzianum gene that modulates glucosidase activity, and enhances tolerance to salt and osmotic stresses
Elsevier (2011-07-15)Using the TrichoEST database, generated in a previous functional genomics project from the beneficial filamentous fungus Trichoderma harzianum, a gene named Thkel1, which codes for a putative kelch-repeat protein, was ... -
Efficacy and economics of ground cover management as a conservation biological control strategy against Tetranychus urticae in clementine mandarin orchards
Elsevier (2011-10)Conservation biological control by means of ground cover offers an interesting alternative to chemical control of the twospotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), a key pest of clementine mandarins. ... -
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) ... -
