• openAccess   Arabidopsis Plants Sense Non-self Peptides to Promote Resistance Against Plectosphaerella cucumerina 

      Pastor Fernández, Julia; Gamir, Jordi; Pastor, Victoria; Sánchez-Bel, Paloma; Sanmartín, Neus; Cerezo García, Miguel; Flors, Victor 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 ...
    • closedAccess   Mycorrhiza l tomato plants fine tunes the growth‐defencebalance upon N depleted root environments 

      Sánchez-Bel, Paloma; Sanmartín, Neus; Pastor, Victoria; Mateu Garcia, Diego; Cerezo García, Miguel; Vidal-Albalat, Andreu; Pastor Fernández, Julia; Pozo, Maria J.; Flors, Victor Wiley (2018)
      In low nutritive environments, the uptake of N by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi may confercompetitive advantages for the host. The present study aims to understand how mycorrhizaltomato plants perceive and then prepare ...
    • openAccess   Role and mechanisms of callose priming in mycorrhiza-induced resistance 

      Sanmartín, Neus; Pastor, Victoria; Pastor Fernández, Julia; Flors, Victor; Pozo, Maria J.; Sánchez-Bel, Paloma Oxford University Press (2020-05-09)
      Mycorrhizal plants display enhanced resistance to several pathogens. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating mycorrhiza-induced resistance (MIR) are still elusive. We aim to study the mechanisms underlying MIR against ...
    • closedAccess   Root-to-shoot signalling in mycorrhizal tomato plants upon Botrytis cinerea infection 

      Sanmartín, Neus; Sánchez-Bel, Paloma; Pastor, Victoria; Pastor Fernández, Julia; Mateu Garcia, Diego; Pozo, Maria J.; Cerezo García, Miguel; Flors, Victor Elsevier (2020)
      Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is restricted in roots, but it also improves shoot responses against leaf challenges, a phenomenon known as Mycorrhiza-Induced Resistance (MIR). This study focuses on mycorrhizal root signals ...
