Phytohormone participation during Citrus sinensis non-host response to Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria
(Elsevier, 2018)
Citrus, one of the most valuable fruit crops around the world, are severely damaged by biotic stress and huge
economical losses are caused by pathogen infections. Non-host response is an essential plant defense ...
Which came first: The disease or the pest? Is there a host mediated spread of Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) by invasive palm pests?
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
The red palm weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is threatening the
palm family worldwide, causing important economic losses. Current tactics to manage the weevil are largely
based ...
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. ...
Plant‑feeding may explain why the generalist predator Euseius stipulatus does better on less defended citrus plants but Tetranychus‑specialists Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis do not
(Springer, 2021-01-22)
The generalist predator Euseius stipulatus (Athias-Henriot) and the Tetranychidae-specialist predators Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) and Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot play a key role in the regulation of ...
Can Plant Defence Mechanisms Provide New Approaches for the Sustainable Control of the Two- Spotted Spider Mite Tetranychus urticae?
(MDPI, 2018-02)
Tetranychus urticae (T. urticae) Koch is a cosmopolitan, polyphagous mite which causes economic losses in both agricultural and ornamental plants. Some traits of T. urticae hamper its management, including a short life ...
Pest categorisation of Spodoptera eridania
(European Food Safety AuthorityWiley, 2020-01-13)
The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Spodoptera eridania (Lepidoptera:
Noctuidae) for the European Union (EU). S. eridania (southern armyworm) is a highly polyphagous
pest native to the ...
Evaluation of a paper by Guarnaccia et al. (2017) on the first report of Phyllosticta citricarpa in Europe
(Wiley, 2018-01-23)
The Plant Health Panel reviewed the paper by Guarnaccia et al. (2017) and compared their findings
with previous predictions on the establishment of Phyllosticta citricarpa. Four species of Phyllosticta
were found by ...
Variability of PM10 in industrialized-urban areas. New coefficients to establish significant differences between sampling points
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
One of the main problems that arise in the assessment of air quality in an area is to estimate the number of representative sampling points of each microenvironment within it. We present a new model that reduces the ...
Mite diversity (Acari: Tetranychidae, Tydeidae, Iolinidae, Phytoseiidae) and within-tree distribution in citrus orchards in southern Spain, with special reference to Eutetranychus orientalis
(Springer, 2017-10)
Mite diversity of selected citrus orchards in Andalusia (southern Spain) was
studied during 2002–2007. The following species were found: Eutetranychus orientalis,
Tetranychus urticae, Panonychus citri (Tetranychidae), ...
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 ...
