Few indirect effects of baculovirus on parasitoids demonstrate high compatibility of biocontrol methods against Tuta absoluta
(Wiley, 2022-12-08)
BACKGROUND
Combining different biocontrol agents, particularly micro- and macroorganisms, can contribute to new and sustainable pest control approaches. Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) ...
The Pupal Parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae Is Attracted to the Same Yeast Volatiles as Its Adult Host
(Springer, 2021-07-16)
There is increasing evidence that microorganisms, particularly fungi and bacteria, emit volatile compounds that mediate the foraging behaviour of insects and therefore have the potential to affect key ...
Agricultural policies against invasive species generate contrasting outcomes for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation
(The Royal Society, 2022-10-19)
Direct consequences of biological invasions on biodiversity and the environment have been largely documented. Yet collateral indirect effects mediated by changes in agri-environmental policies aimed at ...
Durum wheat in the Mediterranean Rim: historical evolution and genetic resources
(Springer, 2020-03-11)
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) van Slageren) is an important crop in the Mediterranean Rim, and it is deeply rooted in the history and tradition of this region. Recently, several ...
Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of ginseng extract, ferulic acid, and noni juice: Evaluation of their potential to be incorporated in food
(Wiley, 2021-10-06)
Ginseng extract (GE), ferulic acid (≥99%) (FA), and a fermented noni juice powder (FNJP), were investigated for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in vitro. Half inhibitory concentration ...
Mutations in CmVPS41 controlling resistance to cucumber mosaic virus display specific subcellular localization
(Oxford University Press, 2022-12-17)
Resistance to cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in melon (Cucumis melo L.) has been described in several exotic accessions and is controlled by a recessive resistance gene, cmv1, that encodes a vacuolar protein ...
Linking sensory and proton transfer reaction–mass spectrometry analyses for the assessment of melon fruit (Cucumis melo L.) quality traits
(Springer, 2020-05-05)
Sixty-seven samples of ten melon types (Cucumis melo L.) were evaluated to determine the relationship between their quality traits: sensory attributes, pH, soluble solids, and volatile organic compounds. ...
Elucidating compositional factors of maize cell walls contributing to stalk strength and lodging resistance
(Elsevier, 2021-03-19)
Lodging is one of the causes of maize (Zea mays L.) production losses worldwide and, at least, the resistance to stalk lodging has been positively correlated with stalk strength. In order to elucidate ...
Unravelling the cold-induced regulation of ethylene and α-farnesene and its involvement with the development of scald-like disorders in different pear cultivars
(Elsevier, 2020-12-26)
To better understand the cold-induced regulation of scald-like disorders in pears and the specific roles played by ethylene and α-farnesene, three pear cultivars with different patterns of ethylene ...
Response of Malus x domestica Borkh to metamitron and high night temperature: Effects on physiology and fruit abscission
(Elsevier, 2021-09-25)
Periods of high nighttime temperature may induce carbohydrate (CH) shortage by increased dark respiration. Metamitron is a thinning agent that inhibits photosynthesis and enhances fruit abscission due ...
