Mineralogy and chemical composition of lower cretaceous ceramic clays from Estercuel basin (Teruel, Spain)
(Belgian Ceramic Research Centre, 2009-06)
A group of clays with industrial application have been studied. The clays come form a mining area in Teruel, and in particular form the area located between Arino and Crivillen, where clay industries are situated. In ...
Cross-talk between gibberellins and salicylic acid in early stress responses in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds
(Landes Bioscience, 2009)
Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone mainly associated with the induction of defense mechanism in plants, although in the last years there is increasing evidence on the role of SA in plant responses to abiotic stress. ...
Plant phenotype demarcation using nontargeted LC-MS and GC-MS metabolite profiling
(American Chemical Society, 2009)
The characterization of the metabolome is a critical aspect in basic research and plant breeding. In this work, the putative application of metabolomics for phenotyping closely related genotypes has been tested. Crude ...
Evidence for a Role of Gibberellins in Salicylic Acid-Modulated Early Plant Responses to Abiotic Stress in Arabidopsis Seeds
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2009)
Exogenous application of gibberellic acid (GA3) was able to reverse the inhibitory effect of salt, oxidative, and heat stresses in the germination and seedling establishment of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), this ...
Membrane transporters and carbon metabolism implicated in chloride homeostasis differentiate salt stress responses in tolerant and sensitive Citrus rootstocks
(Springer-Verlag, 2009)
Salinity tolerance in Citrus is strongly related to leaf chloride accumulation. Both chloride homeostasis and specific genetic responses to Cl− toxicity are issues scarcely investigated in plants. To discriminate the ...
Signal signature of aboveground-induced resistance upon belowground herbivory in maize
(Wiley, 2009)
Plants activate local and systemic defence mechanisms upon exposure to stress. This innate immune response is partially regulated by plant hormones, and involves the accumulation of defensive metabolites. Although local ...
Drought tolerance in Arabidopsis is controlled by the OCP3 disease resistance regulator
(Wiley, 2009)
Water scarcity and corresponding abiotic drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting plant performance and yield. In addition, plant productivity is severely compromised worldwide by infection with microbial ...
Morphology and Development of the Immature Stages of Brachyufens osborni (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), an Egg Parasitoid of Broad-Nosed Weevil Species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Entomological Society of America, 2009)
The external morphology and development of the immature stages of Brachyufens
osborni (Dozier) (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), a Nearctic solitary endoparasitoid of the eggs of Pachnaeus spp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), ...
Hexanoic Acid-Induced Resistance Against Botrytis cinerea in Tomato Plants
(The American Phytopathological Society, 2009-11)
We have demonstrated that root treatment with hexanoic acid protects tomato plants against Botrytis cinerea. Hexanoic acid-induced resistance (Hx-IR) was blocked in the jasmonic acid (JA)-insensitive mutant jai1 (a coi1 ...
Are the palms Washingtonia filifera and Chamaerops humilis suitable hosts for the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Col. Curculionidae)?
(Blackwell Verlag GmbHWiley, 2009)
The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), is a widely distributed pest which has recently become the major pest of palms in the Mediterranean Basin. This weevil has been recorded ...
