Dealing with a hyper-successful neighbour: effects of the invasive apple snail Pomacea canaliculata on exotic and native snails in South America
(Oxford University Press, 2019-06)
Pomacea canaliculata is a successful invader and also a competitor and predator of other snails and may play a key role in structuring freshwater snail communities both in its native and invaded range. In the present study ...
Rootstock breeding in Prunus species: Ongoing efforts and new challenges
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, 2015)
The current global agricultural challenges imply the need to generate new technologies and farming systems. In this context, rootstocks are an essential component in modern agriculture. Most currently used are those clonally ...
An overall evaluation of the Resistance (R) and Pathogenesis-Related (PR) superfamilies in soybean, as compared with Medicago and Arabidopsis
(Soc Brasil GeneticaRibeirao PretoBrazil, 2012)
Use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria as biocontrol agents: induced systemic resistance against biotic stress in plants
(Springer, 2017)
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are free-living bacteria able to colonize roots and soil around them that have a positive effect on plant growth, development, and health. One of the mechanisms by which PGPR ...
Functional group dominance and identity effects influence the magnitude of grassland invasion
(Wiley Online Library, 2013)
Green Light to Plant Responses to Pathogens: The Role of Chloroplast Light-Dependent Signaling in Biotic Stress
(Wiley, 2015-08)
Light has a key impact on the outcome of biotic stress responses in plants by providing most of the energy and many signals for the deployment of defensive barriers. Within this context, chloroplasts are not only the major ...
Does Plant Origin Influence the Fitness Impact of Flower Damage? A Meta-Analysis
(Public Library Science, 2016)
Herbivory has been long considered an important component of plant-animal interactions that influences the success of invasive species in novel habitats. One of the most important hypotheses linking herbivory and invasion ...
Biogeographic differences in the allelopathy of leaf surface extracts of an invasive weed
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)
Allelopathy, the release of chemicals by plants that inhibit the germination and growth of competing species, can be an important trait for invasive success. However, little is known about potential biogeographical differences ...
Analysis of a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene sequence from Arachis hypogaea l. and its transcript abundance in induced systemic resistance against Sclerotium rolfsii
(Edizioni Ets, 2013-03)
Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is an important plant enzyme in pathogen defense. The purpose of this work was to analyze the phylogenetic relationships of a partial PAL gene sequence from Arachis hypogaea L. (peanut) ...
Are Local Filters Blind to Provenance? Ant Seed Predation Suppresses Exotic Plants More than Natives
(Public Library of Science, 2014-08)
The question of whether species’ origins influence invasion outcomes has been a point of substantial debate in invasion ecology. Theoretically, colonization outcomes can be predicted based on how species’ traits interact ...
