A deletion in NRT2.1 attenuates pseudomonas syringae-induced hormonal perturbation, resulting in primed plant defenses
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2012)
For an efficient defense response against pathogens, plants must coordinate rapid genetic reprogramming to produce an
incompatible interaction. Nitrate Trasnporter2 (NRT2) gene family members are sentinels of nitrate ...
The use of integrative taxonomy in determining species limits in the convergent pupa coloration pattern of Aphytis species
(Elsevier, 2012-04)
Correct species identification in field surveys determines the success of natural enemies in biological control
programmes. For such surveys, short-keys, mainly based on one or two morphological characters, are
used as ...
Comparative analysis of transcriptomic and hormonal responses to compatible and incompatible plant-virus interactions that lead to cell death
(American Phytopathological Society, 2012)
Hypersensitive response-related programmed cell death (PCD) has been extensively analyzed in various plant-virus interactions. However, little is known about the changes in gene expression and phytohormone levels associated ...
Reciprocal regulation between AtNRT2.1 and AtAMT1.1 expression and the kinetics of NH4+ and NO3− influxes
(Elsevier, 2012)
Our results show that AtNRT2.1 expression has a positive effect on the NH4+ ion influx, mediated by the HATS, as also occurs with AtAMT1.1 expression on the NO3− ion influx. AtNRT2.1 expression plays a key role in the ...
Descendants of primed arabidopsis plants exhibit resistance to biotic stress
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2012)
An attack of plants by pathogens or treatment with certain resistance-inducing compounds can lead to the establishment of a
unique primed state of defense. Primed plants show enhanced defense reactions upon further challenge ...
Influence of organic matter transformations on the biovailability of heavy metals in a sludge based compost
(Elsevier, 2012)
The agricultural use of anaerobically digested sewage sludge (ADSS) as stable, mature compost implies knowing its total content in heavy metals and their bioavailability. This depends not only on the initial characteristics ...
NH4+ protects tomato plants against Pseudomonas syringae by activation of systemic acquired acclimation
(Oxford University Press, 2015-08)
NH4 + nutrition provokes mild toxicity by enhancing H2O2 accumulation, which acts as a signal activating systemic acquired acclimation (SAA). Until now, induced resistance mechanisms in response to an abiotic stimulus and ...
An untargeted global metabolomic analysis reveals the biochemical changes underlying basal resistance and priming in Solanum lycopersicum, and identifies 1-methyltryptophan as a metabolite involved in plant responses to Botrytis cinerea and Pseudomonas syringae
(Wiley, 2015)
n this study, we have used untargeted global metabolomic analysis to determine and compare the chemi-cal nature of the metabolites altered during the infection of tomato plants (cv. Ailsa Craig) with Botry-tis cinerea ...
Disentangling mite predator-prey relationships by multiplex PCR
(Wiley, 2015)
Gut content analysis using molecular techniques can help elucidate predator-prey relationships in situations in which other methodologies are not feasible, such as in the case of trophic interactions between minute species ...
Next-generation systemic acquired resistance
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2012)
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant immune response to pathogen attack. Recent evidence suggests that plant
immunity involves regulation by chromatin remodeling and DNA methylation. We investigated whether SAR ...
