Biodiversity is a concept of great scientific interest and social value studied in different subjects of the secondary education curriculum. Citizen–science programs may contribute to increasing the engagement of students ...

The LysM domain is a highly conserved carbohydrate-binding module that recognizes polysaccharides containing N-acetylglucosamine residues. LysM domains are found in a wide variety of extracellular proteins and receptors ...

Drought is an environmental stressor that affects crop yield worldwide. Understandingplant physiological responses to stress conditions is needed to secure food in futureclimate conditions. In this study, we applied a ...

Citrus represents one of the most widely grown crops on the planet, extensively cultivated for both the fresh fruit and juice markets. The productivity of citrus orchards can be seriously affected by highly aggressive ...

Encontrar alternativas a través del diseño de productos y sistemas sostenibles que aumenten la eficiencia en el uso del nitrógeno y disminuya los contenidos de nitratos en tejidos comestibles es una necesidad científica, ...

Chemical products still represent the most common form of controlling crop pests and diseases. However, their extensive use has led to the selection of resistances. This makes the finding of new solutions paramount to ...

Post-translational redox modifications provide an important mechanism for the control of major cellular processes. Thioredoxins (Trxs), which are key actors in this regulatory mechanism, are ubiquitous proteins that catalyse ...

Background and aims: Plant and bacteria are able to synthesise proline, which acts as a compound to counteract the negative effects of osmotic stresses. Most methodologies rely on the extraction of compounds using destructive ...

Thioredoxin (Trx) f and NADPH-dependent Trx reductase C (NTRC) have both been proposed as major redox regulators of starch metabolism in chloroplasts. However, little is known regarding the specific role of each protein ...

In plants, there is a complex interaction between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism, and its coordination is fundamental for plant growth and development. Here, we studied the influence of thioredoxin (Trx) m on C and ...
