AtCube: performing pathogen-root infection tests on Arabidopsis thaliana in a completely controlled way
Arabidopsis thaliana represents the main model plant for the experimental analysis of plant genetics and developmental biology of photoautotrophic organisms, due to characteristics such as size, life cycle, fecundity, ... -
Bacillus thuringiensis Cyt proteins as enablers of activity of Cry and Tpp toxins against Aedes albopictus
Aedes albopictus is a species of mosquito, originally from Southeast Asia, that belongs to the Culicidae family and the Dipteran insect order. The distribution of this vector has rapidly changed over the past decade, making ... -
Bacmid expression of granulovirus enhancin En3 accumulates in cell soluble fraction to potentiate nucleopolyhedrovirus infection
Enhancins are metalloproteinases that facilitate baculovirus infection in the insect midgut. They are more prevalent in granuloviruses (GVs), constituting up to 5% of the proteins of viral occlusion bodies (OBs). In ... -
Baculovirus expression and functional analysis of Vpa2 proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis
The mode of action underlying the insecticidal activity of the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) binary pesticidal protein Vpa1/Vpa2 is uncertain. In this study, three recombinant baculoviruses were constructed using Bac-to-Bac ... -
Beneficial effects of microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) in plants
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemical compounds whose saturation vapor pressures are greater than 102 kPa at 25 °C. Both plants and microorganisms produce VOCs that allow them to communicate intra- and inter-specifically. ... -
Can ammonium stress be positive for plant performance?
In this article, we propose a change of paradigm where ammonium nutrition may be considered not exclusively as an undesirable situation for plant performance, but as a way to provoke changes in plant metabolism that can ... -
Can N nutrition lead to "plant diabetes"? The perspective from ammonium nutrition and methylglyoxal accumulation
Here we introduce a debate about whether plants can be suffering a "diabetes-like syndrome" depending on the N nutrition management. The idea of a plant diabetes is not new and was initially proposed by Saito et al. ... -
Carbon density in boreal forests responds non-linearly to temperature: an example from the Greater Khingan Mountains, northeast China
Boreal forests play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle and in climate stabilization. To better predict global C budgets, it is important to accurately estimate the size of forest C pools, and to identify the ... -
Characterization of an accessory plasmid of Sinorhizobium meliloti and its two replication-modules
Rhizobia are Gram-negative bacteria known for their ability to fix atmospheric N-2 in symbiosis with leguminous plants. Current evidence shows that rhizobia carry in most cases a variable number of plasmids, containing ... -
CO2 fertilization plays a minor role in long-term carbon accumulation patterns in temperate pine forests in the southwestern Pyrenees
Isolating the long-term fertilization effect of CO 2 from other climate- and site-related effects on tree growth has been proven a challenging task. To isolate long-term effects of [CO2] on water use efficiency at ... -
Coarse woody debris' invertebrate community is affected directly by canopy type and indirectly by thinning in mixed scots pine-European beech forests
Research Highlights: Thinning and tree species alter the forest floor microclimate by modifying canopy cover, radiation, wind, and humidity. Thus, forest management can directly influence the edaphic mesofauna responsible ... -
Colors in the dark
Plants have the ability to regulate their growth and development according to available light (Li et al., 2012). Light perception occurs through photoreceptors, such as phytochromes, cryptochromes, and phototropins, that ... -
Constrained trait variation by water availability modulates radial growth in evergreen and deciduous mediterranean oaks
Spatial and temporal variation in functional traits allows trees to adjust to shifting environmental conditions such as water stress. However, the change of traits, both mean and variances, along water availability gradients ... -
Control of postharvest diseases in berries through edible coatings and bacterial probiotics
The world's population is growing, which requires more resources, including food. Some necessary foods, such as berries, are very perishable fresh products that suffer contamination by pathogens, generating great economic ... -
Conventional and newly bred rootstock effects on the ecophysiological response of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Tempranillo
Achieving more environmentally sustainable vineyards, particularly regarding efficient water use, is paramount in semi-arid grape-growing regions. Rootstocks may be a possible strategy to address these challenges, but ... -
Coocclusion of Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearSNPV) and Helicoverpa armigera multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearMNPV): pathogenicity and stability in homologous and heterologous hosts
Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearSNPV) is a virulent pathogen of lepidopterans in the genera Heliothis and Helicoverpa, whereas Helicoverpa armigera multiple nu-cleopolyhedrovirus (HearSNPV) is a ... -
Cysteine proteases are activated in sensitive Amaranthus palmeri populations upon treatment with herbicides inhibiting amino acid biosynthesis
The herbicides glyphosate and pyrithiobac inhibit the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in the aromatic amino acid biosynthetic pathway and acetolactate synthase (ALS) in the branched-chain amino ... -
Deciphering plant health status: the link between secondary metabolites, fungal community and disease incidence in olive tree
Plant-associated microorganisms are increasingly recognized to play key roles in host health. Among several strategies, associated microorganisms can promote the production of specific metabolites by their hosts. However, ... -
Design, synthesis and anticancer evaluation of novel Se-NSAID hybrid molecules: identification of a Se-indomethacin analog as a potential therapeutic for breast cancer
A total of twenty-five novel carboxylic acid, methylester, methylamide or cyano nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) derivatives incorporating Se in the chemical form of selenoester were reported. Twenty Se-NSAID ... -
Developing active and intelligent films through the incorporation of grape skin and seed tannin extracts into gelatin
To achieve sustainability in the wine industry, by-products from winery operations are being diverted from waste streams and turned into beneficial use. Grape seed tannin (SeedT) and skin tannin (SkinT) extracts were used ...
