Repression of drought-induced cysteine-protease genes alters barley leaf structure and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04)
To survive under water deficiency, plants alter gene expression patterns, make structural and physiological adjustments, and optimize the use of water. Rapid degradation and turnover of proteins is required for effective ...
Efficacy of Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis in suppression of Tetranychus urticae in young clementine plants
(Springer Netherlands, 2010-04)
Tetranychus urticae is one of the most damaging tetranychid mites affecting clementine orchards in Spain, where natural control is insufficient. Furthermore, in clementine nurseries, tender foliage is highly susceptible ...
Primed plants do not forget
(Elsevier, 2013)
In their struggle for life, plants can employ sophisticated strategies to defend themselves against potentially harmful pathogens and insects. One mechanism by which plants can increase their level of resistance is by ...
Engineered drought-induced biosynthesis of α-tocopherol alleviates stress-induced leaf damage in tobacco
(Elsevier, 2013)
Tocopherols are members of the vitamin E complex and essential antioxidant compounds synthesized in chloroplasts that protect photosynthetic membranes against oxidative damage triggered by most environmental stresses. ...
Effect of ground cover management on Thysanoptera (thrips) in clementine mandarin orchards
(Springer, 2013-04)
Conservation biological control by means of ground cover offers an interesting alternative to chemical control. A complex of Thysanoptera (thrips) species inhabits citrus, some of which are considered pests. This study ...
Alternatives to ginger root oil aromatherapy for improved mating performance of sterile Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) males
(Blackwell Verlag, GmbHJohn Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2013-06)
Autocidal control of the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) is an environmentally friendly and safe practice employed successfully worldwide. A key component in the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is to ...
Compatibility of Phytoseiulus persimilis and Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) with imidacloprid to manage clementine nursery pests
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
Biological control is not common in citrus nurseries where chemical control is prevalent. The systemic neonicotinoid imidacloprid applied as a drench is effective against three out of four key pests of young clementine ...
Lethal and sublethal effects of spirotetramat on the mealybug destroyer, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri
(Springer, 2012-06)
Spirotetramat is a new systemic insecticide listed in Group 23 of the IRAC mode-of-action classification scheme as an inhibitor of lipid biosynthesis. Side effects assessment on key natural enemies is necessary before ...
Hexanoic acid is a resistance inducer that protects tomato plants against Pseudomonas syringae by priming the jasmonic acid and salicylic acid pathways.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
Hexanoic acid-induced resistance (Hx-IR) is effective against several pathogens in tomato plants. Our study of the mechanisms implicated in Hx-IR against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 suggests that hexanoic acid ...
