Update of the Scientific Opinion on the risks to plant health posed by Xylella fastidiosa in the EU territory.
(European Food Safe Authority (EFSA), 2019-05-15)
EFSA was asked to update the 2015 EFSA risk assessment on Xylella fastidiosa for the territory of the EU.
In particular, EFSA was asked to focus on potential establishment, short- and long-range spread, the
length of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Biotechnological applications of the gene transfer from the beneficial fungus Trichoderma harzianum to plants
(Landes Bioscience, 2011)
Alternative and ecological strategies
are necessary and demanded for disease management in order to reduce the
use of pesticides in agriculture. Thus, the
use of biological control agents such as
plant growth-promoting ...
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 ...
Disruption of the ammonium transporter AMT1.1 alters basal defenses generating resistance against Pseudomonas syringae and Plectosphaerella cucumerina
(Frontiers, 2014)
Disruption of the high-affinity nitrate transporter NRT2.1 activates the priming defense against Pseudomonas syringae, resulting in enhanced resistance. In this study, it is demonstrated that the high-affinity ammonium ...
Identification of indole-3-carboxylic acid as mediator of priming against Plectosphaerella cucumerina
(Elsevier, 2012)
Plant resistance against the necrotrophic pathogen Plectosphaerella cucumerina is mediated by a combination of several hormonal-controlled signalling pathways. The priming agent β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is able to induce ...
Priming for JA-dependent defenses using hexanoic acid is an effective mechanism to protect Arabidopsis against B. cinerea
(Elsevier, 2011)
Soil drench treatments with hexanoic acid can effectively protect Arabidopsis plants against Botrytis cinerea through a mechanism based on a stronger and faster accumulation of JA-dependent defenses.
Plants impaired in ...
Pest status of leafminers in cider-apples: The case of orchards in Asturias (NW Spain)
(Elsevier, 2011-11)
Microlepidopterous leafminers are a potential threat to Spanish cider-apple orchards. For pest management purposes it is important 1) to know the species composition, their incidence and their spatial distribution and 2) ...
