Indirect suppression of photosynthesis on individual leaves by arthropod herbivory
(Oxford University Press, 2009-02)
Background: Herbivory reduces leaf area, disrupts the function of leaves, and ultimately alters yield and productivity. Herbivore damage to foliage typically is assessed in the field by measuring the amount of leaf tissue ...
Extrafloral nectaries as a deterrent mechanism against seed predators in the chemically protected weed Crotalaria pallida (Leguminosae)
(Blackwell PublishingOxfordInglaterra, 2006)
Transcriptional response of Atlantic salmon families to Piscirickettsia salmonis infection highlights the relevance of the iron-deprivation defence system
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Background: Piscirickettsiosis or Salmonid Rickettsial Septicaemia (SRS) is a bacterial disease that has a major economic impact on the Chilean salmon farming industry. Despite the fact that Piscirickettsia salmonis has ...
Natural history of an ant-plant-butterfly interaction in a Neotropical savanna
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTDABINGDON, 2012)
Non-myrmecophilous lepidopteran larvae using plants bearing ant attractants such as extrafloral nectaries are good models for studying morphological and behavioural mechanisms against ant predation. Udranomia spitzi ...
Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 genome-wide mutant screen for resistance to the antimicrobial peptide alfalfa snakin-1
(Oxford University Press, 2015-01)
Snakin-1, a peptide produced by higher plants, has broad-spectrum antibiotic activity, inhibiting organisms ranging from Bacteria to Eukaryotes. However, the mode of action against target organisms is poorly understood. ...
Harvest-ironman: heavy armature, and not its defensive secretions, protects a harvestman against a spider
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)
Natural selection has caused prey species to evolve distinct defensive mechanisms. One of such mechanisms was the evolution of noxious or distasteful chemicals, which have appeared independently in a number of vertebrates ...
Acinetobacter defence mechanims against biological aggressors and their use as alternative therapeutic applications
(Informa Healthcare, 2021-08)
Several Acinetobacter strains are important nosocomial pathogens, with Acinetobacter baumannii being the species of greatest worldwide concern due to its multi-drug resistance and the recent appearance of hyper-virulent ...
