When do predatory mites (Phytoseiidae) attack? Understanding their diel and seasonal predation patterns
(Wiley, 2018-11)
Predatory mites of the Phytoseiidae family are considered one of the most important groups of natural enemies used in biological control. The behavioral patterns of arthropods can differ greatly daily and seasonally; ...
Air Quality Trend of PM10. Statistical Models for Assessing the Air Quality Impact of Environmental Policies
(MDPI, 2019)
A statistical modelling of PM10 concentration (2006–2015) is applied to understand the
behaviour, to know the influence of the variables to exposure risk, to treat the missing data to
evaluate air quality, and to estimate ...

Fruit flesh volatile and carotenoid profile analysis within the Cucumismelo L. species reveals unexploited variability for future genetic breeding
(Wiley, 2018-03)
BACKGROUND: Aroma profile and carotenoids content of melon flesh are two important aspects influencing the quality of this
fruit that have been characterized using only selected genotypes. However, the extant variability ...
NaCl protects against Cd and Cu-induced toxicity in the halophyte Atriplex halimus
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2016)
The objective of the present work was to evaluate the extent of Cd- and Cu-induced oxidative stress and the antioxidant response
triggered in the halophyte species Atriplex halimus after metallic trace elements exposure. ...
Arabidopsis thaliana is able to sense tomato Systemin promoting defense against fungal pathogens
(Instituto de Biología Molecular y Celular de Plantas (IBMCP), 2019-11-10)
Systemin is a small tomato peptide that regulates the plant response against herbivores and pathogenic fungi. It is released from a larger precursor upon wounding or pathogen attack and binds to a membrane receptor of the ...
Plant exposure to herbivore-induced plant volatiles: a sustainable approach through eliciting plant defenses
(Springer, 2021-02-25)
Modern agricultural policies across the globe are committed to a significant reduction in chemical pesticide dependency; however, pest management strategies are still based on the use of synthetic pesticides. There is an ...
Plant virus evolution under strong drought conditions results in a transition from parasitism to mutualism
(National Academy of Sciences, 2021-02-09)
Environmental conditions are an important factor driving pathogens’ evolution. Here, we explore the effects of drought stress in plant virus evolution. We evolved turnip mosaic potyvirus in well-watered and drought conditions ...
High throughput FT-MIR analysis of sugars and acids in watermelon
(Elsevier, 2019-12-01)
Indirect measurements of taste-related compounds are required when a high number of samples has to be analyzed in a short period of time, with a minimum cost. For this purpose, FT-MIR partial least square (PLS) regression ...
Kaolin impacts on hormonal balance, polyphenolic composition and oenological parameters in red grapevine berries during ripening
(IOS Press, 2021-08-27)
ACKGROUND:Kaolin particle-film application is a well-known strategy to avoid fruit damage. However, its putative role in balancing berry ripening under a changing climate remains poorly explored. OBJECTIVE:We assessed ...
