Transcriptomic analysis of oxylipin biosynthesis genes and chemical profiling reveal an early induction of jasmonates in chickpea roots under drought stress
(Elsevier, 2012)
Drought is one of the major constraints in subtropical agriculture. Therefore improving water stress tolerance is of great importance to breed for drought tolerance in future. The first plant organ sensing dehydration is ...
Detection, characterization and quantification of salicylic acid conjugates in plant extracts by ESI tandem mass spectrometric techniques
(Elsevier, 2012)
An approach for the detection and characterization of SA derivatives in plant samples is presented based
on liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometric techniques. Precursor ...
Metabolic and Regulatory Responses in Citrus rootstock in Response to Adverse Environmental Conditions
(Springer Verlag, 2014-06)
In response to adverse environmental conditions, plants modify their metabolism to adapt to the new conditions. To differentiate common responses to abiotic stress from specific adaptation to a certain stress condition, ...
Tolerance of citrus plants to the combination of high temperatures and drought is associated to the increase in transpiration modulated by a reduction in abscisic acid levels
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background
In natural environments, several adverse environmental conditions occur simultaneously constituting a unique stress factor. In this work, physiological parameters and the hormonal regulation of Carrizo citrange ...
Phosphite shifts physiological and hormonal profile of Monterey pine and delays Fusarium circinatum progression
(Elsevier, 2017)
Fusarium circinatum is the causal agent of pitch canker disease affecting Pinus spp. and Pseudotsuga
menziesii worldwide. Under strict quarantine measures, alternative approaches for disease control are
necessary. Phosphite ...
Polyamine oxidase 5 loss-of-function mutations in Arabidopsisthaliana trigger metabolic and transcriptional reprogrammingand promote salt stress tolerance
(Wiley, 2017)
The family of polyamine oxidases (PAO) in Arabidopsis(AtPAO1–5) mediates polyamine (PA) back-conversion,which reverses the PA biosynthetic pathway from spermineand its structural isomer thermospermine (tSpm) intospermidine ...
Apical dominance in saffron and the involvement of the branching enzymes CCD7 and CCD8 in the control of bud sprouting
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background:
In saffron (Crocus sativus), new corms develop at the base of every shoot developed from the maternal corm, a globular underground storage stem. Since the degree of bud sprouts influences the number and size ...
Effect of cadmium and calcium treatments on phytochelatin and glutathione levels in citrus plants
(Wiley, 2014)
Industry residues, phosphate fertilisers and wastewater as a source of irrigation have considerably increased levels of heavy metals in the soil, mainly cadmium (Cd2+). To test the effects of a calcium (Ca2+) treatment on ...
Field efficacy of Imidacloprid and Steinernema carpocapsae in a chitosan formulation against the Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Phoenix canariensis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-11-18)
BACKGROUND: The invasive red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), has become the major pest of palms in the
Mediterranean Basin. Chemical control against this species is difficult because of its cryptic habits ...
Replacement of CTV-susceptible sour orange rootstock by CTV-tolerant ones may have triggered outbreaks of Tetranychus urticae in Spanish citrus
(Elsevier, 2010)
The two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a major pest of citrus in Spain. Commercial citrus plants are always propagated asexually by bud-grafting onto a seedling rootstock. During the ...
