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 ... -
A new oxidative pathway of nitric oxide production from oximes in plants
(Cell Press, 2024) Artículo / ArtikuluaNitric oxide (NO) is an essential reactive oxygen species and a signal molecule in plants. Although several studies have proposed the occurrence of oxidative NO production, only reductive routes for NO production, such ... -
A novel biosensor to monitor proline in pea root exudates and nodules under osmotic stress and recovery
Background and aims: Plant and bacteria are able to synthesise proline, which acts as a compound to counteract the negative effects of osmotic stresses. Most methodologies rely on the extraction of compounds using destructive ... -
A novel use of Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae) as inoculative agent of baculoviruses
Background: Alphabaculoviruses are Lepidoptera-specific virulent pathogens that infect numerous pests, including the Spodoptera complex. Due to their low environmental persistence, the traditional use of Alphabaculoviruses ... -
NTRC and thioredoxin f overexpression differentially induces starch accumulation in tobacco leaves
Thioredoxin (Trx) f and NADPH-dependent Trx reductase C (NTRC) have both been proposed as major redox regulators of starch metabolism in chloroplasts. However, little is known regarding the specific role of each protein ... -
Nucleopolyhedrovirus coocclusion technology: a new concept in the development of biological insecticides
Nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPV, Baculoviridae) that infect lepidopteran pests have an established record as safe and effective biological insecticides. Here, we describe a new approach for the development of NPV-based ... -
Overexpression of thioredoxin m in chloroplasts alters carbon and nitrogen partitioning in tobacco
In plants, there is a complex interaction between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism, and its coordination is fundamental for plant growth and development. Here, we studied the influence of thioredoxin (Trx) m on C and ... -
Overview of the use of biochar from main cereals to stimulate plant growth
The total global food demand is expected to increase up to 50% between 2010 and 2050; hence, there is a clear need to increase plant productivity with little or no damage to the environment. In this respect, biochar is a ... -
The Pbo cluster from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121 is thermoregulated and required for phaseolotoxin biosynthesis
The bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121 synthe-sizes phaseolotoxin in a thermoregulated way, with optimum production at 18 °C. Gene PSPPH_4550 was previously shown to be ... -
Physiological approach to the use of the natural compound quinate in the control of sensitive and resistant Papaver rhoeas
Quinate (1,3,4,5-tetrahydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate) is a compound synthesized in plants through a side-branch of the shikimate biosynthesis pathway, which is accumulated after glyphosate and acetolactate synthase inhibiting ... -
Physiological performance of glyphosate and imazamox mixtures on Amaranthus palmeri sensitive and resistant to glyphosate
The herbicides glyphosate and imazamox inhibit the biosynthetic pathway of aromatic amino acids (AAA) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), respectively. Both herbicides share several physiological effects in the processes ... -
Physiological, hormonal and metabolic responses of two alfalfa cultivars with contrasting responses to drought
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is frequently constrained by environmental conditions such as drought. Within this context, it is crucial to identify the physiological and metabolic traits conferring a better performance under ... -
Pinus sylvestris L. and Fagus sylvatica L. effects on soil and root properties and their interactions in a mixed forest on the Southwestern Pyrenees
Tree species alter soil properties, potentially modifying forest nutrients cycling. In the current management context in which mixed species forests are favoured over monocultures due to their biodiversity and productivity-related ... -
Plant growth-promoting traits of yeasts isolated from Spanish vineyards: benefits for seedling development
It is known that some microorganisms can enhance plant development. However, the use of yeasts as growth-promoting agents has been poorly investigated. The aim of this study was the characterisation of a collection of 69 ... -
Pollen viability, self-incompatibility, and a very singular S-allele structure between the reasons for the limited potential productivity of traditional Basque cider apple varieties
Cider regions conserve a broad diversity of traditional cultivars for which knowledge has hardly evolved. Key aspects of their reproductive biology are barely known, hindering improvement in orchard management and resulting ... -
Potential of Cry10Aa and Cyt2Ba, two minority δ-endotoxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis ser. israelensis, for the control of Aedes aegypti larvae
Bacillus thuringiensis ser. israelensis (Bti) has been widely used as microbial larvicide for the control of many species of mosquitoes and blackflies. The larvicidal activity of Bti resides in Cry and Cyt δ-endotoxins ... -
Primary metabolism in an Amaranthus palmeri population with multiple resistance to glyphosate and pyrithiobac herbicides
The objective of this work was to characterize the resistance mechanisms and the primary metabolism of a multiple resistant (MR) population of Amaranthus palmeri to glyphosate and to the acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor ... -
Prokaryotic communities in the thalassohaline Tuz Lake, Deep Zone, and Kayacik, Kaldirim and Yavsan salterns (Turkey) assessed by 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing
Prokaryotic communities and physico-chemical characteristics of 30 brine samples from the thalassohaline Tuz Lake (Salt Lake), Deep Zone, Kayacik, Kaldirim, and Yavsan salterns (Turkey) were analyzed using 16S rRNA amplicon ... -
The proteome of Medicago truncatula in response to ammonium and urea nutrition reveals the role of membrane proteins and enzymes of root lignification
Plants differ widely in their growth and tolerance responses to ammonium and urea nutrition, while derived phenotypes seem markedly different from plants grown under nitrate supply. Plant responses to N sources are complex, ... -
A proteomic atlas of lineage and cancer-polarized expression modules in myeloid cells modeling immunosuppressive tumor-infiltrating subsets
Monocytic and granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells together with tumor-infiltrating macrophages constitute the main tumor-infiltrating immunosuppressive myeloid populations. Due to the phenotypic resemblance to ...
