Aromatic Plants and Their Associated Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Outcompete Tuber melanosporum in Compatibility Assays with Truffle-Oaks
(MDPI, 2023-04-20)
The high value of black truffle recompenses the slow growth of the fungus when established in the field. Adding a secondary crop, such as medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs), could further enhance the ...
Development of a PCR‐based method to monitor arthropod dispersal in agroecosystems: Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) from banker plants to tomato crops
(Wiley, 2019-08-16)
Development of conservation biological control programs requires the identification of sources that contribute to predator colonization of crops. Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is ...
Modified distribution in the polyphenolic profile of rosemary leaves induced by plant inoculation with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus
(Wiley, 2018-11-26)
BACKGROUND: Rosemary forms an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis with a group of soilborne fungi belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota, which can modify the plant metabolome ...
Honeydew Is a Food Source and a Contact Kairomone for Aphelinus mali
(MDPI, 2023-04-29)
Many parasitoids need to feed on sugar sources at the adult stage. Although nectar has
been proven to be a source of higher nutritional quality compared to honeydew excreted by phloem
feeders, the ...
Sap flow of a wild cherry tree plantation growing under Mediterranean conditions: Assessing the role of environmental conditions on canopy conductance and the effect of branch pruning on water productivity
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-04-05)
In recent decades, wild cherry has been one of the species most widely used for reforestation in Europe. Studies aiming to select and improve trees to give them the best growth rates and wood properties ...
Different Population Phenologies of Grapholita molesta (Busck) in Two Hosts and Two Nearby Regions in the NE of Spain
(MPDI, 2021-07-06)
Grapholita molesta is an important pest of stone and pome fruits. In commercial orchards, integrated pest management programs use pheromone traps to monitor the population dynamics of G. molesta and ...
Modelling environmental drivers of Tuber melanosporum extraradical mycelium in productive holm oak plantations and forests
(Elsevier, 2024-05-24)
The black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is a highly appreciated edible ectomycorrhizal fungus. It grows belowground and the mycelium and sporocarp production greatly depends on the abiotic ...
Lack of thinning effects over inter-annual changes in soil fungal community and diversity in a Mediterranean pine forest
(Elsevier, 2018-05-17)
Predicted changes in global climate might negatively affect the soil microbiome and associated ecosystem processes in Mediterranean forests. Forest treatments, such as forest thinning, have been suggested ...
Predation by Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) on Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera: Aphididae): Influence of prey age/size and predator’s intraspecific interactions
(Institute of Entomology, Biology Centre, Czech, 2016-01-08)
Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) is an important predator of pests of horticultural crops and here its ability as a predator of Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is addressed for the ...
The ability of a host plant to associate with different symbiotic partners affects ectomycorrhizal functioning
(Oxford University Press, 2019-05-17)
Some plants that associate with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are also able to simultaneously establish symbiosis with other types of partners. The presence of alternative partners that may provide similar ...
