Complex climate constraints of upper treeline formation in the Pyrenees
Alpine treelines are often induced by a threshold of minimum temperatures above which tree growth is generally not possible anymore. However, this worldwide pattern may not account for more drought-prone mountains, where ... -
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 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 ... -
Editorial: Drought stress in legumes
Plants are challenged by diverse environmental constraints, among which drought stress is increasingly important. Meteorological models predict an increase in the areas prone to drought in the future. Legumes are important ... -
From model to crop: root functional analysis of Medicago forage legumes to face drought stress at the whole plant level
Las leguminosas son el segundo cultivo más importante en la Tierra y ocupan alrededor del 15% del área total cultivada. Son ecológicamente importantes debido a su capacidad de fijar nitrógeno atmosférico y representan una ... -
High temperature and water deficit cause epigenetic changes in somatic plants of Pinus radiata D. Don
Current climate changes imply an imminent risk for forest species. In this context, somatic embryogenesis is a valuable tool to study the response of plants to different abiotic stresses. Based on this, we applied a ... -
Medicago sativa and Medicago truncatula show contrasting root metabolic responses to drought
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 ... -
Soil moisture modulates biological nitrification inhibitors release in sorghum plants
Background and aims: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is able to exude allelochemicals with biological nitrifcation inhibition (BNI) capacity. Therefore, sorghum might be an option as cover crop since its BNI ability may reduce ...
