Identification and expression of the Cucurbita WRKY transcription factors in response to water deficit and salt stress
(Elsevier, 2019-10-15)
WRKY transcription factors (TFs) have been reported to play
important roles in plant responses to various stress conditions. Although
several studies on the genomic organization of the WRKY gene family in
various species ...
Non-destructive determination of taste-related compounds in tomato using NIR spectra
(Elsevier, 2019-07-09)
Near infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance was used to predict the contents of taste-related compounds of tomato. Models were obtained for several varietal types including processing tomato, cherry and cocktail tomato, mid-sized ...
Root metabolic plasticity underlies functional diversity inmycorrhiza-enhanced stress tolerance in tomato
(Wiley, 2018)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses can improve plant tolerance to multiple stresses.We compared three AM fungi (AMF) from different genera, one of them isolated from a dryand saline environment, in terms of their ability ...
High temperatures change the perspective: Integratinghormonal responses in citrus plants under co-occurringabiotic stress conditions
(Wiley, 2019)
Plants growing in the field are subjected to multiple stress factors acting simultaneously. Abnormally high temperatures are expected to affect wild plants and crops in the next years due to global warming. In this work, ...
Coordinating the overall stomatal response of plants: Rapid leaf-to-leaf communication during light stress
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2018)
The plant canopy functions as an aerial array of light-harvesting antennas. To achieve maximal yield, each leaf within this array and the array as a whole need to rapidly adjust to naturally occurring fluctuations in light ...
Oxylipin dynamics inMedicago truncatulain response to saltand wounding stresses
(Wiley, 2019)
Multiple stresses are becoming common challenges in modern agriculture dueto environmental changes. A large set of phytochemicals collectively knownas oxylipins play a key role in responses to several stresses. Understandingthe ...
Putrescine Biosynthesis Inhibition in Tomato by DFMA and DFMO Treatment
(Bio-protocol LLC, 2016)
This protocol can be used to inhibit the biosynthesis of polyamines, specifically putrescine,
in tomato plants grown with NH4
+ as a solely N source. In general, polyamines are positively charged
small metabolites ...
Zoophytophagous mites can trigger plant‐genotype specific defensive responses affecting potential prey beyond predation: the case of Euseius stipulatus and Tetranychus urticae in citrus
(Wiley, 2018)
Background
Zoophytophagous predators can trigger plant defenses affecting prey populations beyond predation. Euseius stipulatus is a presumed zoophytophagous phytoseiid common in citrus. The response of citrus to one of ...
New opportunities for developing tomato varieties with enhanced carotenoid content
(Universidade de Sao Paulo, 2016)
The development of varieties with a high content of antioxidant compounds, such as
carotenoids, has become a major focus in the marketing of tomato. Several mutants have been
used in the development of high pigment ...
Eficacia y fitotoxicidad a corto y largo plazo del fosfuro de aluminio contra el picudo rojo de las palmeras sobre ejemplares de palmeras canarias vivas
