Publication Open Access Plastidial phosphoglucose isomerase is an important determinant of seed yield through its involvement in gibberellin-mediated reproductive development and storage reserve biosynthesis in arabidopsis(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2018) Bahaji, Abdellatif; Almagro Zabalza, Goizeder; Ezquer, Ignacio; Gámez Arcas, Samuel; Sánchez López, Ángela María; Muñoz Pérez, Francisco José; Barrio, Ramón José; Sampedro, M.

Instituto de Agrobiotecnología / Agrobioteknologiako Institutua; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, ref. P1004 PROMEBIOThe plastid-localized phosphoglucose isomerase isoform PGI1 is an important determinant of growth in Arabidopsis thaliana, likely due to its involvement in the biosynthesis of plastidial isoprenoid-derived hormones. Here, we investigated whether PGI1 also influences seed yields. PGI1 is strongly expressed in maturing seed embryos and vascular tissues. PGI1-null pgi1-2 plants had ∼60% lower seed yields than wild-type plants, with reduced numbers of inflorescences and thus fewer siliques and seeds per plant. These traits were associated with low bioactive gibberellin (GA) contents. Accordingly, wild-type phe-notypes were restored by exogenous GA application. pgi1-2 seeds were lighter and accumulated ∼50% less fatty acids (FAs) and ∼35% less protein than wild-type seeds. Seeds of cytokinin-deficient plants overexpressing CYTOKININ OXIDASE/DE-HYDROGENASE1 (35S:AtCKX1) and GA-deficient ga20ox1 ga20ox2 mutants did not accumulate low levels of FAs, and exogenous application of the cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine and GAs did not rescue the reduced weight and FA content of pgi1-2 seeds. Seeds from reciprocal crosses between pgi1-2 and wild-type plants accumulated wild-type levels of FAs and proteins. Therefore, PGI1 is an important determinant of Arabidopsis seed yield due to its involvement in two processes: GA-mediated reproductive development and the metabolic conversion of plastidial glucose-6-phosphate to storage reserves in the embryo.Publication Open Access Hongos entomopatógenos: de la agricultura a la conservación del patrimonio histórico(Junta de Andalucía: Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Histórico, 2018) Crespo Martín, Eva; Roncel Gil, Mercedes; Pérez-Castiñeira, José Román; Pérez Camacho, Inmaculada Concepción; Gallego Sánchez, Luis Miguel; Gámez Arcas, Samuel; Mozo Mulero, Marta; Nevado Berzosa, María Patricia; Soriano Bermúdez, Jesús José; Téllez Pueblas, Elan Alexis; Molina Heredia, Fernando Publio; IdAB. Instituto de Agrobiotecnología / Agrobioteknologiako InstitutuaLos 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 sustrato a tratar. En este artículo se presenta una alternativa a estos métodos basada en el empleo de sustancias biocidas extraídas o provenientes de hongos entomopatógenos, como son Beauveria bassianay Metarhizium anisopliae. La presente propuesta incluye dos variantes no excluyentes como son el uso de conidios y la aplicación de geles con enzimas y toxinas provenientes de dichas especies. Esta metodología aporta ventajas con respecto a los métodos tradicionales, como la no toxicidad para el manipulador, la aplicabilidad a diferentes sustratos independientemente de su tamaño y localización, y su prácticamente nula reactividad frente al sustrato.
