Partial Root-Zone Drying of Olive (Olea europaea var. "Chetoui") Induces Reduced Yield under Field Conditions
(Panagiotis Kalaitzis, Mediterranean Agronomic Institute at Chania, GREECE, 2016-06)
The productivity of olive trees in arid and semi-arid environments is closely linked to irrigation. It is necessary to improve the efficiency of irrigation techniques to optimise the amount of olive fruit produced in ...
Spatial characterization of the seawater upconing process in a coastal Mediterranean aquifer (Plana de Castellón, Spain): evolution and controls
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
In this contribution, we describe the formation and evolution of the upconing process in a Mediterranean coastal aquifer. The study area has experienced severe salinization over the last 40 years because of intensive ...
Systemic resistance in citrus to Tetranychus urticae induced by conspecifics is transmitted by grafting and mediated by mobile amino acids
(Oxford University PressSociety for Experimental Biology, 2016-09)
Recent research suggests that systemic signalling and communication between roots and leaves plays an important role in plant defence against herbivores. In the present study, we show that the oviposition of the two-spotted ...
The effect of abscisic acid chronic treatment on neuroinflammatory markers and memory in a rat model of high-fat diet induced neuroinflammation
(BioMed Central, 2016-10)
Background
Western diet and lifestyle are associated with overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, which, in turn, are correlated with neuroinflammation processes. Exercise and a healthy diet are important in the ...
Intraguild predation and competitive displacement between Nesidiocoris tenuis and Dicyphus maroccanus, 2 biological control agents in tomato pests
(Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2016-07)
Dicyphus maroccanus Wagner and Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Hemiptera:
Miridae) are 2 biological control agents in tomatoes. Through the crop seasons, a natural
shift in the occurrence of both mirids in favor of N. tenuis ...
The nitrogen availability interferes with mycorrhiza-induced resistance against botrytis cinerea in tomato
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
Mycorrhizal plants are generally quite efficient in coping with environmental challenges. It has been shown that the symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can confer resistance against root and foliar pathogens, ...
Use of micellar liquid chromatography for rapid monitoring of fungicides post harvest applied to citrus wastewater
(Elsevier, 2016)
A method based on micellar liquid chromatography has been developed to simultaneously monitor four pesticides largely post-harvest applied to citrus: thiabendazole, pyrimethanil, o-phenylphenol and imazalil. Water samples ...
Tolerance of citrus plants to the combination of high temperatures and drought is associated to the increase in transpiration modulated by a reduction in abscisic acid levels
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background
In natural environments, several adverse environmental conditions occur simultaneously constituting a unique stress factor. In this work, physiological parameters and the hormonal regulation of Carrizo citrange ...
ABA is required for the accumulation of APX1 and MBF1c during a combination of water deficit and heat stress
(Oxford University PressSociety for Experimental Biology, 2016-08)
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a key role in plant acclimation to abiotic stress. Although recent studies suggested that ABA could also be important for plant acclimation to a combination of abiotic stresses, its role in this ...
