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 ... -
It's not you, it's me: Medicago truncatula efd-1 mutant phenotype depends on rhizobium symbiont
The work by Jardinaud et al. (2022a) illustrates the need to reconsider the identification of genes with a functional role in symbiosis when using a model system in which nodule development and plant growth are constrained ... -
Soil C/N ratios cause opposing effects in forests compared to grasslands on decomposition rates and stabilization factors in southern European ecosystems
Soils store an important amount of carbon (C), mostly in the form of organic matter in different decomposing stages. Hence, understanding the factors that rule the rates at which decomposed organic matter is incorporated ... -
Abundance and trait-matching both shape interaction frequencies between plants and birds in seed-dispersal networks
Abundance and trait-driven processes have both been identified as potential mechanisms in determining the occurrence of species interactions. However, little is known about how these two mechanisms interact to determine ... -
Evaluation of a crop rotation with biological inhibition potential to avoid N2O emissions in comparison with synthetic nitrification inhibition
Agriculture has increased the release of reactive nitrogen to the environment due to crops’ low nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) after the application of nitrogen-fertilisers. Practices like the use of stabilized-fertilisers ... -
Role of oxidative stress in the physiology of sensitive and resistant Amaranthus palmeri populations treated with herbicides inhibiting acetolactate synthase
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of oxidative stress in the mode of action of acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides. Two populations of Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson from Spain (sensitive ... -
Disentangling the seasonal effects of agricultural intensification on birds and bats in Mediterranean olive groves
Assessing the spatio-temporal impact of agricultural intensification on species and communities is key for biodiversity conservation. Here, we investigated the seasonal effects of olive grove intensification at both local ... -
The use of freshwater macrophytes as a resource in sustainable agriculture
Freshwater macrophytes include different groups of plants that are capable of growing in or very close to aquatic environments (spermatophytes, pteridophytes and bryophytes). These plants play a fundamental role in their ... -
New in vivo approach to broaden the thioredoxin family interactome in chloroplasts
Post-translational redox modifications provide an important mechanism for the control of major cellular processes. Thioredoxins (Trxs), which are key actors in this regulatory mechanism, are ubiquitous proteins that catalyse ... -
QTLs identification for iron chlorosis in a segregating peach-almond progeny through double-digest sequence-based genotyping (SBG)
Linkage maps are highly appreciated tools for cultivar and rootstock breeding programs because they are suitable for genetic and genomic studies. In this study, we report on using sequence-based genotyping (SBG) approach ... -
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. ... -
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, ... -
Fungal endophytes of Brassicaceae: molecular interactions and crop benefits
Brassicaceae family includes an important group of plants of great scientific interest, e.g., the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and of economic interest, such as crops of the genus Brassica (Brassica oleracea, Brassica ... -
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 ... -
Additive effects of heatwave and water stresses on soybean seed yield is caused by impaired carbon assimilation at pod formation but not at flowering
Heatwave (HW) combined with water stress (WS) are critical environmental factors negatively affecting crop development. This study aimed to quantify the individual and combined effects of HW and WS during early reproductive ... -
Multifunctional properties of a bacillus thuringiensis strain (BST-122): beyond the parasporal crystal
Chemical products still represent the most common form of controlling crop pests and diseases. However, their extensive use has led to the selection of resistances. This makes the finding of new solutions paramount to ... -
Environment and density-dependency explain the fine-scale aggregation of tree recruits before and after thinning in a mixed forest of Southern Europe
Thinning in forest management primarily reduces the density of trees and alters the patchiness and spatial complexity of environmental factors and individual interactions between plant recruits. At fine spatial scales, ... -
A global synthesis on the effects of forest thinning on hydrological processes: implications for forest management
Forest thinning can significantly affect hydrological processes. However, these effects largely vary with forest types, climate, thinning intensity, and hydrological variables of interest. Understanding these effects and ... -
Long-term carbon sequestration in pine forests under different silvicultural and climatic regimes in Spain
Proactive silviculture treatments (e.g., thinning) may increase C sequestration contributing to climate change mitigation, although, there are still questions about this effect in Mediterranean pine forests. The aim of ... -
LysM proteins in mammalian fungal pathogens
The LysM domain is a highly conserved carbohydrate-binding module that recognizes polysaccharides containing N-acetylglucosamine residues. LysM domains are found in a wide variety of extracellular proteins and receptors ...
