The Differences between the Effects of a Nanoformulation and a Conventional Form of Atrazine to Lettuce: Physiological Responses, Defense Mechanisms, and Nutrient Displacement
(2021-01-01)
The rapid development of nanotechnology influences the developments within the agro-sector. An example is provided by the production of nanoenabled pesticides with the intention to optimize the efficiency of the pesticides. ...
Plant interactions with other organisms: molecules, ecology and evolution
(Wiley, 2014-09-18)
The plant sciences, during much of the 20th century, evolved as a group of disciplines that sought to explain plant responses to factors of the abiotic environment, such as water, mineral nutrients and light. In the last ...
Potato snakin‑1: an antimicrobial player of the trade‑off between host defense and development
(Springer, 2020-07)
Snakin-1 (SN1) from potato is a cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide with high evolutionary conservation. It has 63 amino acid residues, 12 of which are cysteines capable of forming six disulfide bonds. SN1 localizes in the ...

(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTDOXFORD, 2012)
Guapira graciliflora and Neea theifera are taxonomically related species of the tribe Pisoneae. Both species are found in the same environment, the Brazilian Cerrado, and therefore, are subjected to similar selective ...
Genomic and Functional Characterization of a Novel Burkholderia sp. Strain AU4i from Pea Rhizosphere Conferring Plant Growth Promoting Activities
(OMICS International, 2015-09)
Members of Burkholderia genus are gaining importance for their application in crop improvement by acting as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), however, our knowledge about mechanisms of their plant growth promotion ...
Abnormally high digestive enzyme activity and gene expression explain the contemporary evolution of a diabrotica biotype able to feed on soybeans
(Wiley, 2012-06)
Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera) (WCR) depends on the continuous availability of corn. Broad adoption of annual crop rotation between corn (Zea mays) and nonhost soybean (Glycine max) exploited WCR biology to ...
