Light Regulation of Carotenoid Biosynthesis in the Peel of Mandarin and Sweet Orange Fruits
(Frontiers Media, 2019-10-15)
Carotenoids are the pigments responsible for the coloration of the peel and pulp of Citrus fruits. Light is one of the major environmental factors influencing coloration and carotenoid content and composition of fleshy ...
Plant-Mediated Effects of Water Deficit on the Performance of Tetranychus evansi on Tomato Drought-Adapted Accessions
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10)
Climate change is expected to increase drought periods and the performance and
dispersal of some invasive species such as Tetranychus evansi, which has been
reported to take advantage of the nutritional changes induced ...
Pest categorisation of Dendroctonus micans

Bacterial Endophytes: The Hidden Actor in Plant Immune Responses against Biotic Stress
(MDPI, 2021-05-19)
Bacterial endophytes constitute an essential part of the plant microbiome and are described to promote plant health by different mechanisms. The close interaction with the host leads to important changes in the physiology ...
Long-distance ABA transport can mediate distal tissue responses by affecting local ABA concentrations
(Wiley, 2018-01)
Environmental stresses that perturb plant water relations influence abscisic acid (ABA) concentrations, but it is unclear whether long-distance ABA transport contributes to changes in local ABA levels. To determine the ...
