Expression of two barley proteinase inhibitors in tomato promotes endogenous defensive response and enhances resistance to Tuta absoluta
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Background: Plants and insects have coexisted for million years and evolved a set of interactions which affect both organisms at different levels. Plants have developed various morphological and biochemical adaptations to ...
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 ...
Characterization of Citrus WRKY transcription factors and their responses to phytohormones and abiotic stresses
(Springer Verlag, 2018-01)
WRKY transcription factors (TF) family is involved in a huge variety of plant processes, including seed germination, plant development, phytohormone signalling, and defence against both biotic or abiotic stresses. In this ...
Evaluation of germplasm in Solanum section Lycopersicon for tomato taste improvement
(Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey, 2018)
The genetic potential of accessions from Solanum section Lycopersicon (S. lycopersicum L., S. lycopersicum var. cerasiforme, S

Facing Climate Change: Biotechnology of Iconic Mediterranean Woody Crops
(Frontiers Media, 2019-04-16)
The Mediterranean basin is especially sensitive to the adverse outcomes of climate
change and especially to variations in rainfall patterns and the incidence of extremely
high temperatures. These two concurring adverse ...
Developmental Stage- and Genotype-Dependent Regulation of Specialized Metabolite Accumulation in Fruit Tissues of Different Citrus Varieties
(MDPI, 2019-03)
Flavor traits in citrus are the result of a blend of low molecular weight metabolites including sugars, acids, flavonoids and limonoids, these latter being mainly responsible for the characteristic bitter flavor in citrus. ...
The olfactive responses of Tetranychus urticae natural enemies in citrus depend on plant genotype, prey presence, and their diet specialization
(Springer, 2019-06)
Sour orange, Citrus aurantium, displays higher constitutive and earlier inducible direct defenses against the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, than Cleopatra mandarin, Citrus reshni. Moreover, herbivore-induced ...
Endophytes from wild cereals protect wheat plants from drought by alteration of physiological responses of the plants to water stress
(Wiley, 2019-01-13)
Endophytes contribute to plant performance, especially under harsh conditions. We therefore hypothesized that wild plants have retained beneficial endophytes that are less abundant or not present in related crop plants. ...

(Frontiers Media, 2019-04-24)
Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker (PPC), is an emergent
and still understudied risk that threatens Pinus forests worldwide, with potential
production and sustainability losses. In order to explore ...
