Development of an attract-and-infect system to control Rhynchophorus ferrugineus with the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana
(Wiley, 2018)
BACKGROUND: A new Beauveria bassiana-based attract and infec t device (AID) to control Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier(Coleoptera: Curculionidae) was developed. The virulence and persistence of the fungal formulation u ...
Summarizing the impacts of future potential global change scenarios on seawater intrusion at the aquifer scale
(Springer, 2020-02-21)
Climate change afects rainfall and temperature producing a breakdown in the water balance and a variation in the dynamic of freshwater–seawater in coastal areas, exacerbating seawater intrusion (SWI) problems. The target ...
Influence of controlled deficit irrigation on tomato functional value
(Elsevier, 2018-06-30)
The effect of controlled deficit irrigation (CDI) on the accumulation of carotenoids, polyphenols and l-ascorbic acid was studied in conventional and high lycopene tomato cultivars. Plants were initially irrigated to cover ...
Arabidopsis Plants Sense Non-self Peptides to Promote Resistance Against Plectosphaerella cucumerina
(Frontiers Media, 2020-05-08)
Peptides are important regulators that participate in the modulation of almost every physiological event in plants, including defense. Recently, many of these peptides have been described as defense elicitors, termed ...
Behavior of Diaphorina citri: an investigation of the potential risk to the most commonly used citrus rootstock in Europe
(Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2020-03-31)
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) is a vector of the bacterium that causes huanglongbing (HLB), a disease heavily impacting citrus production in many areas worldwide. Neither the ...
Opposing Roles of Plant Laticifer Cells in the Resistance to Insect Herbivores and Fungal Pathogens
(Elsevier, 2020)
More than 12,000 plant species (ca. 10% of flowering plants) exude latex when their tissues are injured. Latex is produced and stored in specialized cells named ‘‘laticifers’’. Laticifers form a tubing system
composed of ...
Attenuated accumulation of jasmonates modifies stomatal responses to water deficit
(Oxford University PressSociety for Experimental Biology, 2018-02)
To determine whether drought-induced root jasmonate [jasmonic acid (JA) and jasmonic acid-isoleucine (JA-Ile)] accumulation affected shoot responses to drying soil, near-isogenic wild-type (WT) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum ...
Combined Drought and Heat Activates Protective Responses in Eucalyptus globulus That Are Not Activated When Subjected to Drought or Heat Stress Alone
(Frontiers Media, 2018-06)
Aiming to mimic a more realistic field condition and to determine convergent and
divergent responses of individual stresses in relation to their combination, we explored
physiological, biochemical, and ...
Chemical priming of immunity without costs to plant growth
(Wiley, 2018)
b-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) induces broad-spectrum disease resistance, but also represses
plant growth, which has limited its exploitation in crop protection. BABA perception relies on
binding to the aspartyl-tRNA synthetase ...
