Bioassimilable sulphur provides effective control of Oidium neolycopersici in tomato, enhancing the plant immune system
(Wiley, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Developments of alternatives to the use of chemical pesticides to control pests are focused on the induction
of natural plant defences. The study of new compounds based on liquid bioassimilable sulphur and its ...
Pest risk assessment of Radopholus similis for the EU territory
(EFSA, 2017)
The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest risk assessment on Radopholus similis, the burrowing
nematode for the EU. The quantitative assessment focused on entry, establishment, spread and impact
on tropical and subtropical ...
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 ...

Variability of PM10 in industrialized-urban areas. New coefficients to establish significant differences between sampling points
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
One of the main problems that arise in the assessment of air quality in an area is to estimate the number of representative sampling points of each microenvironment within it. We present a new model that reduces the ...
When the ground cover brings guests: is Anaphothrips obscurus a friend or a foe for the biological control of Tetranychus urticae in clementines?
(Springer, 2017-10)
Biological control of Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), a key pest of clementines, can be improved in this crop with the establishment of a ground cover of Festuca arundinacea Schreber (Poaceae). This cover ...
Hexanoic Acid Treatment Prevents Systemic MNSV Movement in Cucumis melo Plants by Priming Callose Deposition Correlating SA and OPDA Accumulation
(Frontiers Media, 2017-10-20)
Unlike fungal and bacterial diseases, no direct method is available to control viral
diseases. The use of resistance-inducing compounds can be an alternative strategy
for plant viruses. Here we studied the basal response ...
