Plasticity in extended phenotypes: How the antlion Myrmeleon crudelis adjusts the pit traps depending on biotic and abiotic conditions
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2019-12)
The physical structures built by animals are considered extended phenotypes that reflect how organisms make decisions and deal with changes in their biotic and abiotic environment. We summarize the results of several studies ...
Sucrose metabolism: Anabaena sucrose-phosphate synthase and sucrose-phosphate phosphatase define minimal functional domains shuffled during evolution
(Wiley, 2002-04)
Based on the functional characterization of sucrose biosynthesis related proteins [SBP: sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS), sucrose-phosphate phosphatase (SPP), and sucrose synthase (SuS)] in Anabaena sp. PCC7120 and sequence ...
A wheat/rye polymorphism affects seminal root length and yield across different irrigation regimes
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04)
The introgression of a small segment of wheat (Triticumaestivum L.) chromosome arm 1BS in the distal region of rye (Secalecereale L.) 1RS.1BL arm translocation in wheat (henceforth 1RSRW) was previously associated with ...
High temperature during the budswell phase of grapevines increases shoot water transport capacity
(Elsevier Science, 2020-12)
Knowledge about heat acclimation in perennial plants is limited. Our hypotheses were (i) that high temperature during budswell before budbreak elicits acclimation in grapevines that is mediated by greater water transport ...
Changes in the physico-chemical properties of the xanthan produced by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri in grapefruit leaf extract
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2019-01-22)
Xanthan is a virulence factor produced by Xanthomonas spp. We previously demonstrated that this exopolysaccharide is not only essential for pathogenicity by contributing with bacterial survival but also its pyruvate ...
Gibberellins negatively regulate the development of Medicago truncatula root system.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-09)
The root system displays a remarkable plasticity that enables plants to adapt to changing environmental conditions. This plasticity is tightly linked to the activity of root apical meristems (RAMs) and to the formation of ...
Breeding for Drought Tolerance by Monitoring Chlorophyll Content
(Longdom Publishing, 2021-05-17)
Crop yields have increased substantially during the last 50 years, but the traits that drove these remarkable
improvements, such as plant architecture, have a little remaining potential for improvement. New traits such ...
A protocol for the in vitro propagation and polyploidization of an interspecific hybrid of Glandularia (G. peruviana × G. scrobiculata)
(2015-03-05)
The genus Glandularia (Verbenaceae) has more than 50 species and it holds great ornamental potential due to its colorful flowers, long flowering period and low water requirements. Since the floriculture market avidly seeks ...
Inflorescence stems of Arabidopsis thaliana bend away from neighbours through a response controlled by phytochrome BEscape al sombreado de inflorescencias de Arabidopsis thaliana inducido por fitocromo B
(Instituto Argentino de Investigaciones de las Zonas Áridas, 2017-12)
Las plantas poseen la capacidad de detectar la presencia de otras plantas vecinas mediante la percepción de variaciones en la proporción de luz roja (660 nm) y roja lejana (740 nm) en el ambiente lumínico circundante. Los ...
Genetic mapping and QTL analysis for peanut smut resistance
(BioMed Central, 2021-07)
Background: Peanut smut is a disease caused by the fungus Thecaphora frezii Carranza & Lindquist to which most commercial cultivars in South America are highly susceptible. It is responsible for severely decreased yield ...
