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 ...
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 ...
Physico-chemical and sensory quality of 'Clemenules' mandarins and survival of the Mediterranean fruit fly as affected by complementary cold and carbon dioxide quarantine treatments
(Elsevier, 2008)
Cold-based quarantine treatments (exposure to 1.1-2.2 °C for 14-18 d) against the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) must be currently applied to Spanish citrus exports to pest-free ...
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 ...
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 ...
The multifaceted role of ABA in disease resistance
(Elsevier, 2009)
Long known only for its role in abiotic stress tolerance, recent evidence shows that abscisic acid (ABA) also has a prominent role in biotic stress. Although it acts as a negative regulator of disease resistance, ABA can ...
Can summer and fall vegetative growth regulate the incidence of Tetranychus urticae Koch on clementine fruit?
(Elsevier, 2008)
Fruit scarring caused by Tetranychus urticae is one of the main pest problems faced by Spanish clementine growers as it can downgrade the quality of the fruit completely. T. urticae infestations concentrate on fruit at the ...
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), ...
Efecto del manejo de la cubierta vegetal en la acarofauna asociada a Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Prostigmata) en clementino
(Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Medio Rural y Marítimo, 2008)
Se ha estudiado la dinámica de Tetranychus urticae y sus depredadores en cuatro parcelas de clementino con tres formas distintas de manejo del suelo: (a) cubierta vegetal espontánea, (b) cubierta sembrada de gramíneas y ...
