Toxicity and Preventive Activity of Chitosan, Equisetum arvense, Lecithin and Salix Cortex against Plasmopara viticola, the Causal Agent of Downy Mildew in Grapevine
(MDPI, 2022-12-10)
Grapevine, a crop of global economic importance, is annually affected by diseases that can compromise the quality and quantity of the harvest, producing large economic losses. Downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola ...
Biological nitrification inhibitor-trait enhances nitrogen uptake by suppressing nitrifier activity and improves ammonium assimilation in two elite wheat varieties
(Frontiers Media, 2022-11)
Synthetic nitrification inhibitors (SNI) and biological nitrification inhibitors (BNI) are promising tools to limit nitrogen (N) pollution derived from agriculture. Modern wheat cultivars lack sufficient capacity to exude ...
Land use drives detritivore size structure and decomposition through shifts in resource quality and quantity
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Land use change and nutrient pollution are two pervasive stressors that can modify carbon cycling, as they influence the inputs and the transformation of detritus. Understanding their impact on stream food webs and on ...
Holm oak decline is determined by shifts in fine root phenotypic plasticity in response to belowground stress
(Wiley, 2022-09)
Climate change and pathogen outbreaks are the two major causes of decline in Mediterranean holm oak trees (Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp.). Crown-level changes in response to these stressful conditions have ...
Protective Strategies of Haberlea rhodopensis for Acquisition of Freezing Tolerance: Interaction between Dehydration and Low Temperature
(MDPI, 2022-11-30)
Resurrection plants are able to deal with complete dehydration of their leaves and then recover normal metabolic activity after rehydration. Only a few resurrection species are exposed to freezing temperatures in their ...
Carotenoids and their derivatives: A “Swiss Army knife-like” multifunctional tool for fine-tuning plant-environment interactions
(Elsevier, 2023-03)
Plants have to cope with different biotic and abiotic stresses, such as the attacks of pathogens and herbivores, high irradiance, droughts, salt stress or nutrient deficiencies throughout their lifetime. These environmental ...
Could buckwheat and spelt be alternatives to wheat under future environmental conditions? Study of their physiological response to drought
(Elsevier, 2023-03)
Drought is one of the most harmful abiotic stresses for plants. Future drought episodes are expected to increase, negatively affecting globally cultivated crops as wheat (Triticum aestivum). Together with the crop dependency, ...
Bioactives Overproduction through Operational Strategies in the Ichthyotoxic Microalga Heterosigma akashiwo Culture
(MDPI, 2023-05-20)
The red tide-forming microalga Heterosigma akashiwo has been associated with massive events of fish deaths, both wild and cultured. Culture conditions are responsible for the synthesis or accumulation of some metabolites ...
Response of native and non-indigenous zooplankton to inherent system features and management in two Basque estuaries: A niche decomposition approach
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
The realized ecological niches of native zooplankton and non-indigenous species (NIS) were analysed in the contrasting estuaries of Bilbao and Urdaibai from 1998 to 2015 in order to study their responses to the particular ...
Evaluation of a crop rotation with biological inhibition potential to avoid N2O emissions in comparison with synthetic nitrification inhibition
(Elsevier, 2023-05)
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 ...
