Intentional and unintentional selection during plant domestication: herbivore damage, plant defensive traits and nutritional quality of fruit and seed crops
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-05)
Greater susceptibility to herbivory can arise as an effect of crop domestication. One proposed explanation is that defenses decreased intentionally or unintentionally during the domestication process, but evidence for this ...
Effect of plant nutritional traits on the diet of grasshoppers in a wetland of Northern Patagonia
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-05)
Dichroplus maculipennis is one of the most damaging grasshoppers of wetlands. We investigated their feeding behavior in relation to the most abundant plants of Patagonian wetlands. Results showed that D. maculipennis was ...
Editorial: Metallic micronutrient homeostasis in plants
(Frontiers Media, 2019-07)
Transition elements, such as copper, iron, or zinc, are essential nutrients for plants. They participate in every biological process. However, intracellular metal levels must be maintained within a narrow physiological ...
Forage quality of plant species consumed by capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) in the Paraná River Delta, Argentina
(Society for Range Management, 2011-05)
The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is a selective herbivore that may show a preference for certain plant species. Such a preference is likely to be explained by the nutritional benefits hypothesis, stating that the ...
Contribution of Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus to phosphorus nutrition in strawberry plants
(Springer, 2017-10)
Background and Aims: Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus (family Acetobacteraceae), is a N2-fixing bacterium with capability of mineral solubilization through organic acid production. The aim of this work was to evaluate its ...
Use of a critical phosphorus dilution curve to improve potato crop nutritional management
(Springer, 2016-08)
Plant diagnostic methods to determine P deficiencies need the definition of a critical concentration value which represents the minimum P concentration required to achieve maximum growth. The critical P concentration (Pc) ...
Plant and herbivore ontogeny interact to shape the preference, performance and chemical defense of a specialist herbivore
(Springer, 2018-06-30)
The amount of damage that herbivorous insects impose on plants varies as a function of plant ontogenetic trajectories in tissue quality and defenses, and the herbivores’ own developmental trajectories in body size, mandible ...
Assessing the effects of basal media on the in vitro propagation and nutritional status of Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden
(2016-02)
In tissue culture, essential aspects of growth and development can be modulated by managing mineral nutrition and growth regulators. Therefore, basal medium selection is one of the key factors for success with this technique ...
Beneficial rhizobacteria inoculation on Ocimum basilicum reduces the growth performance and nutritional value of Spodoptera frugiperda
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2022-02)
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has a significant role in plant–insect interaction. However, the extent of their impact on insects is still not well understood. This investigation was designed to evaluate the ...
Nitric oxide and plant mineral nutrition: current knowledge
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03)
Plants under conditions of essential mineral deficiency trigger signaling mechanisms that involve common components. Among these components, nitric oxide (NO) has been identified as a key participant in responses to changes ...
