Drought stress causes a reduction in the biosynthesis of ascorbic acid in soybean plants
Drought provokes a number of physiological changes in plants including oxidative damage. Ascorbic acid (AsA), also known as vitamin C, is one of the most abundant water-soluble antioxidant compound present in plant tissues. ... -
Drought stress provokes the down-regulation of methionine and ethylene biosynthesis pathways in Medicago truncatula roots and nodules
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is one of the first physiological processes inhibited in legume plants under water-deficit conditions. Despite the progress made in the last decades, the molecular mechanisms behind this ... -
Drought stress responses in Medicago truncatula and Glycine max: system biology approaches
Las leguminosas, después de los cereales, son el cultivo de mayor importancia económica a nivel mundial. Sin embargo, estas plantas son muy sensibles a los estreses abióticos, siendo la sequía el que más afecta a su ... -
Estudio de prospectiva, análisis y propuesta de participación y colaboración de la Administración Foral de Navarra con las redes, plataformas e iniciativas de ciencia ciudadana
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las redes y plataformas de ciencia ciudadana existentes con el fin de realizar una propuesta para su implementación en Navarra por parte de la Administración Ambiental; para ello se ... -
Functional analysis of the taproot and fibrous roots of Medicago truncatula: sucrose and proline catabolism primary response to water deficit
Root performance represents a target factor conditioning plant development under drought conditions. Moreover, recent root phenotyping studies remark relevant differences on functionality of the different root types. ... -
iNaturalist Arga: acercándonos a la biodiversidad de los ríos urbanos para aprender a cuidarlos
La biodiversidad es un concepto que forma parte del currículo de la educación secundaria. Las herramientas TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación) colaborativas abiertas disponibles ofrecen nuevas posibilidades ... -
Insights into the regulation of nitrogen fixation in pea nodules: lessons from drought, abscisic acid and increased photoassimilate availability
Nitrogen fixation in legume nodules has been shown to be very sensitive to drought and other environmental constraints. It has been widely assumed that this decline in nitrogen fixation was a consequence of an increase in ... -
Is N-feedback involved in the inhibition of nitrogen fixation in drought-stressed Medicago truncatula?
Drought stress is a major factor limiting nitrogen fixation (NF) in crop production. However, the regulatory mechanism involved and the origin of the inhibition, whether local or systemic, is still controversial and so far ... -
Learning plant biodiversity in nature: the use of the citizen–science platform iNaturalist as a collaborative tool in secondary education
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 ... -
Legume nitrogen utilization under drought stress
Legumes account for around 27% of the world’s primary crop production and can be classified based on their use and traits into grain and forage legumes. Legumes can establish symbiosis with N-fixing soil bacteria. As a ... -
Local inhibition of nitrogen fixation and nodule metabolism in drought-stressed soybean
Drought stress is a major factor limiting symbiotic nitrogen fixation (NF) in soybean crop production. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in this inhibition are still controversial. Soybean plants were symbiotically ... -
Long-term mannitol-induced osmotic stress leads to stomatal closure, carbohydrate accumulation and changes in leaf elasticity in Phaselous vulgaris leaves
The effect of long-term osmotic stress was investigated in leaves of two common bean lines, with contrasting tolerance: Flamingo (tolerant) and coco blanc (sensitive). Water relations, organic solute, ion accumulation ... -
Medicago truncatula response to water-deficit stress: whole plant perspectives
(2021) Tesis doctoral / Doktoretza tesiaMedicago truncatula es una planta forrajera anual con gran interés agronómico y científico, siendo de hecho empleada como planta modelo en el estudio de la biología de las leguminosas. Teniendo en cuenta el contexto actual ... -
Nodule carbohydrate catabolism is enhanced in the Medicago truncatula A17-Sinorhizobium medicae WSM419 symbiosis
The symbiotic association between Medicago truncatula and Sinorhizobium meliloti is a well-established model system in the legume–Rhizobium community. Despite its wide use, the symbiotic efficiency of this model has been ... -
Physiological and biochemical characterization of rootlets response to salt stress in two Medicago truncatula Gaertn. ecotypes
Legumes are very important plants both ecologically and agriculturally because they are able to interact symbiotically with rhizobia for biological nitrogen fixation and soil fertilization. Medicago truncatula Gaertn. is ... -
Physiological responses of legume nodules to drought
Legumes include important agricultural crops, as their high protein content is of primary importance for human food and animal feed. In addition, the ability of most of them to establish symbiotic relationships with soil ... -
Potencialidades del frijol caupí para la resiliencia al cambio climático en sistemas agrícolas locales
Las evidencias científicas sugieren tres usos fundamentales del frijol caupí, con agro-ecológicas y beneficios productivos, sociales y ambientales en los sistemas agrícolas locales; sin embargo, su rendimiento a nivel ... -
A proteomic approach reveals new actors of nodule response to drought in split-root grown pea plants
Drought is considered the more harmful abiotic stress resulting in crops yield loss. Legumes in symbiosis with rhizobia are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Biological nitrogen fixation (SNF) is a very sensitive process ... -
Proyecto río Arga: ciencia ciudadana, biodiversidad & educación
El objetivo del proyecto ARGA, desarrollado en la plataforma iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/arga), es reunir observaciones de las especies presentes en el río Arga a su paso por la Cuenca de Pamplona. ... -
Split‐root systems applied to the study of the legume‐rhizobial symbiosis: what have we learned?
Split-root system (SRS) approaches allow the differential treatment of separate and independent root systems, while sharing a common aerial part. As such, SRS is a useful tool for the discrimination of systemic (shoot ...
