Maintenance of a high photosynthetic performance is linked to flooding tolerance in citrus
(Elsevier, 2009)
Citrus trees have been considered as flooding-sensitive although important differences in tolerance among species have been reported. The tolerance to flooding has been linked to optimal photosynthetic performance in other ...

Inactivation of UDP-Glucose Sterol Glucosyltransferases Enhances Arabidopsis Resistance to Botrytis cinerea
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-27)
Free and glycosylated sterols are both structural components of the plasma membrane
that regulate their biophysical properties and consequently different plasma membraneassociated processes such as plant adaptation to ...
Inheritance, Fitness Cost, and Management of Lambda-Cyhalothrin Resistance in a Laboratory-Selected Strain of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann)
(MDPI, 2020-08-19)
The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata, is considered one of
the most destructive and economically damaging pests of citrus and other fruit crops worldwide.
Current control practices in Spain rely on ...
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 ...
Accumulating evidences of callose priming by indole- 3- carboxylic acid in response to Plectospharella cucumerina
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Indole-3-carboxylic acid (I3CA) is an indolic compound that induces resistance in Arabidopsis adult plants against the necrotrophic fungus Plectosphaerella cucumerina through primed callose accumulation. In this study, we ...
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 ...
Is There A Role for Abscisic Acid, A Proven Anti-Inflammatory Agent, in the Treatment of Ischemic Retinopathies?
(MDPI, 2019)
Ischemic retinopathies (IRs) are the main cause of severe visual impairment and sight loss, and are characterized by loss of blood vessels, accompanied by hypoxia, and neovascularization. Actual therapies, based on ...
Can interactions among predators alter the natural regulation of an herbivore in a climate change scenario? The case of Tetranychus urticae and its predators in citrus
(Springer, 2019-06)
Climate change can dramatically affect the food web configuration of arthropod communities through its effects on species interactions. We have studied whether these effects could alter the probability of local extinction ...
