Why are second-generation transgenic crops not yet available in the market?
(Oxford University Press, 2020-08)
Recent studies predict that global food demand of major grain crops will not be accompanied by the required increase in yield (Hall and Richards, 2013). Additionally, current figures estimate that the impact of climate ...
Novel insights into the Citrus sinensis nonhost response suggest photosynthesis decline, abiotic stress networks and secondary metabolism modifications
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-05)
Plants are constantly exposed to stress factors. Biotic stress is produced by living organisms such as pathogens, whereas abiotic stress by unfavourable environmental conditions. In Citrus species, one of the most important ...
Tomato Abscisic Acid Stress ripening (ASR) gene family revisited
(PLOS, 2014-10-13)
Tomato ABSCISIC ACID RIPENING 1 (ASR1) was the first cloned plant ASR gene. ASR orthologs were then cloned from a large number of monocot, dicot and gymnosperm plants, where they are mostly involved in response to abiotic ...
Potassium phosphIte increases tolerance to UV-B in potato
(Elsevier Masson, 2015-03)
The use of biocompatible chemical compounds that enhance plant disease resistance through Induced Resistance (IR) is an innovative strategy to improve the yield and quality of crops. Phosphites (Phi), inorganic salts of ...
ABA and GA3 regulate the synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites related to alleviation from biotic and abiotic stresses in grapevine
(2017-03)
Plants are able to synthesize a large number of organic compounds. Among them, primary metabolites are known to participate in plant growth and development, whereas secondary metabolites are mostly involved in defense and ...
Niche dynamics in amphitropical desert disjunct plants: Seeking for ecological and species‐specific influences
(Wiley, 2020-11)
Numerous studies have assessed whether species niches are conserved in geographically separated regions. However, most of them were performed on invasive species, with the limitation that such species have likely not yet ...
Potential Role of Plant Growth Regulators in Administering Crucial Processes Against Abiotic Stresses
(Frontiers Media, 2021-12)
Plant growth regulators are naturally biosynthesized chemicals in plants that influence physiological processes. Their synthetic analogous trigger numerous biochemical and physiological processes involved in the growth and ...
Sex differences in cold hardiness and desiccation tolerance of invasive apple snails in South China
(Institute of Malacology, 2019-03-29)
Sex differences in stress responses may be a key factor that determines population structure. Sex ratios of Pomacea canaliculata populations usually average 1:1 at birth, but are often female-biased for adults. Low ...
Lipid signalling mediated by PLD/PA modulates proline and H2O2 levels in barley seedlings exposed to short- and long-term chilling stress
(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2017-04)
Phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolyses phospholipids to yield phosphatidic acid (PA) and a head group, and is involved in responses to a variety of environmental stresses, including chilling and freezing stress. Barley responses ...
Efecto del estrés por altas temperaturas y fertilización nitrogenada en el rendimiento en el algodón
(Asociación para la Promoción de la Producción Algodonera, Argentina, 2018)
En un contexto de cambio climático a escala mundial, es probable que la futura producción de algodón ocurra bajo una mayor prevalencia de múltiple estreses abióticos, incluyendo temperaturas extremas y prolongadas. Si bien ...
