Potato genetic resources in Spain
(International Plant Genetic Resources Institute, 2001) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaPlant genetic resources activities in Spain are globally organized by the Instituto Nacional de Investigación Agraria (INIA) and in particular by one of its institutes, Centro de Recursos Fitogenéticos (CRF). Collections ... -
Ectopic expression of the AtCDF1 transcription factor in potato enhances tuber starch and amino acid contents and yield under open field conditions
Introduction: cycling Dof transcription factors (CDFs) have been involved in different aspects of plant growth and development. In Arabidopsis and tomato, one member of this family (CDF1) has recently been associated with ... -
Cell-free microbial culture filtrates as candidate biostimulants to enhance plant growth and yield and activate soil- and plant-associated beneficial microbiota
In this work we compiled information on current and emerging microbial-based fertilization practices, especially the use of cell-free microbial culture filtrates (CFs), to promote plant growth, yield and stress tolerance, ... -
Nodule performance within a changing environmental context
Global climate models predict that future environmental conditions will see alterations in temperature, water availability and CO2 concentration ([CO2]) in the atmosphere. Climate change will reinforce the need to develop ... -
Pea plant responsiveness under elevated [CO2] is conditioned by the N source (N2 fixation versus NO3 fertilization)
The main goal of this study was to test the effect of [CO2] on C and N management in 2different plant organs (shoots, roots and nodules) and its implication in the 3responsiveness of exclusively ... -
Estimating peanut and soybean photosynthetic traits using leaf spectral reflectance and advance regression models
One proposed key strategy for increasing potential crop stability and yield centers on exploitation of genotypic variability in photosynthetic capacity through precise high-throughput phenotyping techniques. Photosynthetic ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of the anti-nitrative effect of plant antioxidants using a cowpea Fe-superoxide dismutase as a target
Nitric oxide cytotoxicity arises from its rapid conversion to peroxynitrite (ONOO) in the presence of superoxide, provoking functional changes in proteins by nitration of tyrosine residues. The physiological significance ... -
Established and proposed roles of xanthine oxidoreductase in oxidative and reductive pathways in plants
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is among the most-intensively studied enzymes known to participate in the consumption of oxygen in cells. However, it attracted the attention of researchers due its participation in free radical ... -
Regulation of heterogenous lexA expression in staphylococcus aureus by an antisense RNA originating from transcriptional read-through upon natural mispairings in the sbrB intrinsic terminator
Bacterial genomes are pervasively transcribed, generating a wide variety of antisense RNAs (asRNAs). Many of them originate from transcriptional read-through events (TREs) during the transcription termination process. ... -
Enhanced yield of pepper plants promoted by soil application of volatiles from cell-free fungal culture filtrates is associated with activation of the beneficial soil microbiota
Plants communicate with microorganisms by exchanging chemical signals throughout the phytosphere. Such interactions are important not only for plant productivity and fitness, but also for terrestrial ecosystem functioning. ... -
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 ... -
Coping with environmental eukaryotes; identification of Pseudomonas syringae genes during the interaction with alternative hosts or predators
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning the ecological success of plant pathogens is critical to develop strategies for controlling diseases and protecting crops. Recent observations have shown that plant ... -
Modulation of Haemophilus influenzae interaction with hydrophobic molecules by the VacJ/MlaA lipoprotein impacts strongly on its interplay with the airways
Airway infection by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) associates to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation and asthma neutrophilic airway inflammation. Lipids are key inflammatory mediators in ... -
Viral load, tissue distribution and histopathological lesions in goats naturally and experimentally infected with the Small Ruminant Lentivirus Genotype E (subtype E1 Roccaverano strain)
Small Ruminant Lentivirus (SRLV) subtype E1, also known as Roccaverano strain, is considered a low pathogenic virus on the basis of natural genetic deletions, in vitro properties and on-farm observations. In order to gain ... -
Unraveling the role of transient starch in the response of Arabidopsis to elevated CO2 under long-day conditions
Previous studies on Arabidopsis under long-term exposure to elevated CO2 have been conducted using starch synthesis and breakdown mutants cultured under short day conditions. These studies showed that starch synthesis can ... -
Physiological performance of transplastomic tobacco plants overexpressing aquaporin AQP1 in chloroplast membranes
The leaf mesophyll CO2 conductance and the concentration of CO2 within the chloroplast are major factors affecting photosynthetic performance. Previous studies have shown that the aquaporin NtAQP1 (which localizes to the ... -
Multidrug resistant Salmonella enterica isolated from conventional pig farms using antimicrobial agents in preventative medicine programmes
A longitudinal study was conducted to investigate the presence of multidrug antimicrobial resistance (multi-AR) in Salmonella enterica in pigs reared under conventional preventative medicine programmes in Spain and the ... -
Global assessment of small RNAs reveals a non-coding transcript involved in biofilm formation and attachment in Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978
Many strains of Acinetobacter baumannii have been described as being able to form biofilm. Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) control gene expression in many regulatory circuits in bacteria. The aim of the present work was to ... -
Elevated CO2 improved the growth of a double nitrate reductase defective mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana: the importance of maintaining a high energy status
Impairments in leaf nitrogen (N) assimilation in C3 plants have been identified as processes conditioning photosynthesis under elevated [CO2], especially when N is supplied as nitrate. Leaf N status is usually improved ...
