Development of a zooplankton biotic index for trophic state prediction in tropical reservoirsDesenvolvimento de um índice biótico do zooplâncton para predição do estado trófico em reservatórios tropicais
(2019-01-01)
Reservoirs are built mainly for public supply and power generation. However, water quality is almost always compromised by discharge of domestic and industrial sewage, as well as by agricultural residues. Several ecological ...
Validation of reference genes for RT-qPCR normalization in common bean during biotic and abiotic stresses
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
Selection of reference genes is an essential consideration to increase the precision and quality of relative expression analysis by the quantitative RT-PCR method. The stability of eight expressed sequence tags was evaluated ...
Future paths for the ‘exploitative segregation of plant roots’ model
(2021-01-01)
The exploitative segregation of plant roots (ESPR) is a theory that uses a game-theoretical model to predict plant root foraging behavior in space. The original model returns the optimal root distribution assuming exploitative ...
Role of nutritional composition in the development and survival of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on artificial diet and natural hosts
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2021-06-01)
Helicoverpa armigera is a pest of several crops causing significant economic impact. We evaluated the insect development on different vegetative and reproductive structures of cotton, maize, and soybean compared to artificial ...
Exogenous influences on plant secondary metabolite levels
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
Plant secondary metabolites are a group of naturally occurring compound classes biosynthesized by differing biochemical pathways whose plant content and regulation is strongly susceptible to environmental influences and ...
Will climate change cause spatial mismatch between plants and their pollinators? A test using Andean cactus species
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
Climate change can disrupt mutualisms by causing temporal or spatial mismatch between interacting species. However, the effects of climate change forecasts on biotic interactions remain poorly studied. In cactus species, ...
International Winter Wheat Improvement Program: history, activities, impact and future
