Effect of pollen quality on the efficacy of two different life-style predatory mites against Tetranychus urticae in citrus
(Elsevier, 2012-05)
Cover crops can serve as a reservoir of natural enemies by supplying alternative food sources as pollen.
However, pollen quality and availability can modulate phytoseiid communities. In clementine trees associated
with ...
Carrizo citrange plants do not require the presence of roots to modulate the response to osmotic stress
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-06)
The study of the effects of a specific stress condition on the performance of plants grown under field conditions is difficult due to interactions among multiple abiotic and biotic factors affecting the system. In vitro ...
Delimitation of the Coastal Transition Zone in the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2012)
The article presents a methodology for the delimitation of the coastal transition zone (CTZ) and the identification
of zones with distinct soil properties in the Gulf of Guayaquil (GG), Ecuador. The Gulf was chosen as ...
T3SS-dependent differential modulations of the jasmonic acid pathway in susceptible and resistant genotypes of Malus spp. challenged with Erwinia amylovora
(Elsevier, 2012)
Fire blight is a bacterial disease of Maloideae caused by Erwinia amylovora (Ea). This necrogenic enterobacterium uses a type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject type III effectors into the plant cells to cause disease ...
Role of 9-Lipoxygenase and α-Dioxygenase Oxylipin Pathways as Modulators of Local and Systemic Defense
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
Plant 9-lipoxygenases (9-LOX) and α-dioxygenases (α-DOX) initiate the synthesis of oxylipins after bacterial infection. Here, the role of these enzymes in plants’ defense was investigated using individual Arabidopsis ...
Efficacy and economics of ground cover management as a conservation biological control strategy against Tetranychus urticae in clementine mandarin orchards
(Elsevier, 2011-10)
Conservation biological control by means of ground cover offers an interesting alternative to chemical control of the twospotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), a key pest of clementine mandarins. ...
Chilling-dependent release of seed and bud dormancy in peach associates to common changes in gene expression
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Reproductive meristems and embryos display dormancy mechanisms in specialized structures named respectively buds and
seeds that arrest the growth of perennial plants until environmental conditions are optimal for survival. ...
