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 ...
Epigenetic regulation of the expression of WRKY75 transcription factor in response to biotic and abiotic stresses in Solanaceae plants
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
Key message
SlyWRKY75: gene expression was induced in response to biotic stresses, especially in Botrytis cinerea-infected tomato plants, in which Sly-miR1127-3p is a putative SlyWRKY75 regulator and epigenetic marks were ...
Hormone and secondary metabolite profiling in chestnut during susceptible and resistant interactions with Phytophthora cinnamomi
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
Phytophthora cinnamomi (Pc) is a dangerous pathogen that causes root rot (ink disease) and threatens the production of chestnuts worldwide. Despite all the advances recently reported at molecular and physiological level, ...
Zoophytophagous mirids provide pest controlby inducing direct defences, antixenosis andattraction to parasitoids in sweet pepper plants
(Wiley, 2018)
BACKGROUND: In addition to their services as predators, mirid predators are able to induce plant defences by phytophagy.However, whether this induction occurs in sweet pepper and whether it could be an additional benefit ...
Citrus plants exude proline and phytohormones under abiotic stress conditions
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
Key message
This article describes the root exudation of proline and phytohormones in citrus and their involvement in salt- and heat-stress responses.
Abstract
Plants are constantly releasing several compounds to the ...
The Arabidopsis thaliana N-recognin E3 ligase PROTEOLYSIS1 influences the immune response
(WileyAmerican Society of Plant BiologistsSociety for Experimental Biology, 2019)
N-degron pathways of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis (formerly known as the
N-end rule pathway) control the stability of substrate proteins dependent on the
amino-terminal (Nt) residue. Unlike yeast or mammalian N-recognin ...
Bio-ecology and integrated management of the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in the region of Valencia (Spain)
(Benaki Phytopathological Institute, 2012-01)
The invasive red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most destructive pests of palms in the world. It is widely distributed in all continents and has been reported on ...
Effects of cadmium on gas exchange and phytohormone contents in citrus
(Springer Verlag (Germany), 2011)
The effect of increased Cd2+ concentrations in the watering solution on citrus physiology was studied by using two citrus genotypes, Cleopatra mandarin and Carrizo citrange. Cadmium content in roots and leaves was tested ...
Jasmonic acid interacts with abscisic acid to regulate plant responses to water stress conditions
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
Phytohormones are key players in signaling environmental stress conditions. Hormone profiling together with proline accumulation were studied in leaves and roots of different mutant lines of Arabidopsis. Regulation of ...
Common and divergent physiological, hormonal and metabolic responses of Arabidopsis thaliana and Thellungiella halophila to water and salt stress
(Elsevier, 2010)
To explain the higher tolerance of Thellungiella to abiotic stress in comparison to Arabidopsis, several studies have focused on differences in ion absorption and gene expression. However, little is known about hormone ...
