101 Dothideomycetes genomes: a test case for predicting lifestyles and emergence of pathogens
Dothideomycetes is the largest class of kingdom Fungi and comprises an incredible diversity of lifestyles, many of which have evolved multiple times. Plant pathogens represent a major ecological niche of the class ... -
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 ... -
Activation of sweet pepper defense responses by novel and known biocontrol agents of the genus Bacillus against Botrytis cinerea and Verticillium dahliae
The Fresno-Benavente Pepper (F-BP) Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) is a horticultural crop characterized by its great agronomic, economic and cultural importance in the region of Castilla y León (Spain). Field ... -
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 ... -
Assessing the efficiency of dimethylpyrazole-based nitrification inhibitors under elevated CO2 conditions
Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) are useful tools to reduce nitrogen (N) losses derived from fertilization in agriculture. However, it remains unclear whether a future climate scenario with elevated CO2 could affect NIs ... -
Assessing the evolution of wheat grain traits during the last 166 years using archived samples
The current study focuses on yield and nutritional quality changes of wheat grain over the last 166 years. It is based on wheat grain quality analyses carried out on samples collected between 1850 and 2016. Samples were ... -
Assessing tree drought resistance and climate-growth relationships under different tree age classes in a pinus nigra arn. Ssp. salzmannii forest
The magnitude of drought impact in forest ecosystems depends on which group of trees are more severely affected; greater mortality of smaller trees can modulate the trajectories of succession, while the mortality of larger ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
