High-density seedling expression system for the production of bioactive human cardiotrophin-1, a potential therapeutic cytokine, in transgenic tobacco chloroplasts
Histidine‐tagged human cardiotrophin‐1 (hCT‐1), a recently discovered cytokine with excellent therapeutic potential, was expressed in tobacco chloroplasts under the transcriptional and translational control of two different ... -
Holm oak decline is determined by shifts in fine root phenotypic plasticity in response to belowground stress
Climate change and pathogen outbreaks are the two major causes of decline in Mediterranean holm oak trees (Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp.). Crown-level changes in response to these stressful conditions have ... -
Hongos entomopatógenos: de la agricultura a la conservación del patrimonio histórico
Los métodos tradicionales utilizados en la conservación del patrimonio histórico incluyen principalmente el uso de insecticidas sintéticos, que presentan las desventajas de su toxicidad y de su falta de inocuidad sobre el ... -
HPLC-MS/MS analyses show that the near-starchless aps1 and pgm leaves accumulate wild type levels of ADPglucose: further evidence for the occurrence of important ADPglucose biosynthetic pathway(s) alternative to the pPGI-pPGM-AGP pathway
In leaves, it is widely assumed that starch is the end-product of a metabolic pathway exclusively taking place in the chloroplast that (a) involves plastidic phosphoglucomutase (pPGM), ADPglucose (ADPG) pyrophosphorylase ... -
Human papillomavirus L1 protein expressed in tobacco chloroplasts self-assembles into virus-like particles that are highly immunogenic
Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in women worldwide. It is linked to infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). As the virus cannot be propagated in culture, vaccines based on virus‐like particles have ... -
Iberian red deer: paraphyletic nature at mtDNA but nuclear markers support its genetic identity
Red deer populations in the Iberian glacial refugium were the main source for postglacial recolonization and subspecific radiation in north-western Europe. However, the phylogenetic history of Iberian red deer (Cervus ... -
Identification of lptA, lpxE, and lpxO, three genes involved in the remodeling of Brucella cell envelope
The brucellae are facultative intracellular bacteria that cause a worldwide extended zoonosis. One of the pathogenicity mechanisms of these bacteria is their ability to avoid rapid recognition by innate immunity because ... -
Identification of the ovine mannose receptor and its possible role in Visna/Maedi virus infection
This study aims to characterize the mannose receptor (MR) gene in sheep and its role in ovine visna/maedi virus (VMV) infection. The deduced amino acid sequence of ovine MR was compatible with a transmembrane protein having ... -
Iflavirus increases its infectivity and physical stability in association with baculovirus
Virus transmission and the prevalence of infection depend on multiple factors, including the interaction with other viral pathogens infecting the same host. In this study, active replication of an iflavirus, Spodoptera ... -
Immunization against small ruminant lentiviruses
Multisystemic disease caused by Small Ruminant Lentiviruses (SRLV) in sheep and goats leads to production losses, to the detriment of animal health and welfare. This, together with the lack of treatments, has triggered ... -
Improving the short‑term efficiency of rock phosphate‑based fertilizers in pastures by using edaphic biostimulants
Background: The use of reactive rock phosphate (RP) in acidic soils as a phosphate (P) source for pastures and crops presents attractive economic advantages with respect to soluble phosphate. However, some studies have ... -
In vivo monitoring of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm infections and antimicrobial therapy by [18F]fluoro-deoxyglucose–MicroPET in a mouse model
A mouse model was developed for in vivo monitoring of infection and the effect of antimicrobial treatment against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms, using the [18F]fluoro-deoxyglucose–MicroPET ([18F]FDG-MicroPET) image ... -
Inactivation of the Thymidylate synthase thyA in non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae modulates antibiotic resistance and has a strong impact on its interplay with the host airways
Antibacterial treatment with cotrimoxazol (TxS), a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, generates resistance by, among others, acquisition of thymidine auxotrophy associated with mutations in the thymidylate ... -
Increased bioethanol production from commercial tobacco cultivars overexpressing thioredoxin f grown under field conditions
Bioethanol is mainly produced from food crops such as sugar cane and maize while it has been held partly responsible for the rise of food commodity prices. Tobacco, integrated in biorefinery facilities for the extraction ... -
Increased biofilm formation by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae isolates from patients with invasive disease or otitis media versus strains recovered from cases of respiratory infections
Biofilm formation by nontypeable (NT) Haemophilus influenzae remains a controversial topic. Nevertheless, biofilm-like structures have been observed in the middle-ear mucosa of experimental chinchilla models of otitis media ... -
Influence of crop load on the expression patterns of starch metabolism genes in alternate-bearing citrus trees
The fruit is the main sink organ in Citrus and captures almost all available photoassimilates during its development. Consequently, carbohydrate partitioning and starch content depend on the crop load of Citrus trees. ... -
Intra- and intergenerational persistence of an insect nucleopolyhedrovirus: adverse effects of sublethal disease on host development, reproduction, and susceptibility to superinfection
Sublethal infections by Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) are common in field populations of the beet armyworm (S. exigua, Hübner) in the Almerian horticultural region of Spain. Inoculation of ... -
Isotopic composition of maize as related to N-fertilization and irrigation in the Mediterranean region
(Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", Universidade de São Paulo, 2011) Artículo / ArtikuluaNitrate leaching as a result of excessive application of N-fertilizers and water use is a major problem of vulnerable regions. The farming of maize requires high N fertilization and water inputs in Spain. Isotopic ... -
Killing niche competitors by remote-control bacteriophage induction
A surprising example of interspecies competition is the production by certain bacteria of hydrogen peroxide at concentrations that are lethal for others. A case in point is the displacement of Staphylococcus aureus by ... -
Klebsiella pneumoniae outer membrane protein A is required to prevent the activation of airway epithelial cells
Outer membrane protein A (OmpA) is a class of proteins highly conserved among the Enterobacteriaceae family and throughout evolution. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a capsulated Gram-negative pathogen. It is an important cause ...
