Unexpected synergistic HIV neutralization by a triple microbicide produced in rice endosperm
(National Academy of Sciences, 2018-08-14)The transmission of HIV can be prevented by the application of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and lectins. Traditional recombinant protein manufacturing platforms lack sufficient capacity and are too expensive for ... -
Erosión local aguas abajo de diques para el control de torrentes: metodología de cálculo
(Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Técnicos Forestales, 2005)Una de las técnicas que habitualmente forman parte de la restauración hidrológico-forestal de cuencas torrenciales son los diques transversales, destinados al control geomotfológico del cauce y cono de deyección, así ... -
Determinación de la relación entre calado y caudal en flujos hiperconcentrados
(Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Técnicos Forestales, 2003)En torrentes y ríos de cuencas de montaña como respuesta a tormentas de carácter torrencial se generan flujos que pueden transportar grandes concentraciones de material sólido si existe suficiente sedimento disponible. ... -
Cálculo de la resistencia al flujo en cauces de montaña
(Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Técnicos Forestales, 2002)La realización de estudios o proyectos en el ámbito de la hidrología o hidráulica forestal requiere usualmente la determinación del coeficiente de resistencia al flujo en el tramo de cauce analizado. Si se trata de un cauce ... -
Consecuencias hidrológicas de los incendios forestales
(Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Técnicos Forestales, 2001)En el presente ar tículo se pretende expo ner los efectos más sig nificativos que tienen los incendios forestales sobre los diferentes pro cesos hidrológicos, inci diendo especialmente en los relacionados con ... -
Hidrotecnias para la gestión de acarreos en cauces de montaña
(Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Técnicos Forestales, 1999)Las cuencas torrenciales presentan una respuesta hidrológica caracterizada por avenidas súbitas y violentas, que transpor tan grandes cantidades de material sólido, pudiendo afectar grave mente a la seguridad ... -
Productos forestales: más allá de la madera
(Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Técnicos Forestales, 2018)El cambio de paradigma de la economía europea hacia una bioeconomía basada en el conocimiento requiere repensar los procesos productivos y los patrones de consumo preponderantes. En este contexto está ganando relevancia ... -
Carotenoids moderate the effectiveness of a Bt gene against the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis
(Public Library of Science, 2018)We assessed the effectiveness of a biofortified maize line (4BtxHC) which accumulates high levels of antioxidant carotenoids that also expressed the insecticidal Cry1Ac Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) gene against the European ... -
Fire-induced deforestation in drought-prone Mediterranean forests: Drivers and unknowns from leaves to communities
(Ecological Society of America, 2018)Over the past 15 years, 3 million hectares of forests have been converted into shrublands or grasslands in the Mediterranean countries of the European Union. Fire and drought are the main drivers underlying this deforestation. ... -
Iron and Zinc in the Embryo and Endosperm of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Seeds in Contrasting 20-Deoxymugineic Acid/Nicotianamine Scenarios
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Iron and Zn deficiencies are worldwide nutritional disorders that can be alleviated by increasing the metal concentration of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains via bio-fortification approaches. The overproduction of the metal ... -
A Thioredoxin Domain-Containing Protein Interacts with Pepino mosaic virus Triple Gene Block Protein 1
(MDPI, 2018)Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) is a mechanically-transmitted tomato pathogen of importance worldwide. Interactions between the PepMV coat protein and triple gene block protein (TGBp1) with the host heat shock cognate protein ... -
Response of Pyrenean subalpine pastures to continuous warming an annual sporadic variations
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-12-22)The certainty of global warming is leading to the programming of activities and management practices for a future in which conditions will be very different from today. In the case of subalpine mountain pastures (or upland ... -
ZmPBF and ZmGAMYB transcription factors independently transactivate the promoter of the maize (Zea mays L.) β-carotene hydroxylase 2 gene
(Wiley, 2018-12-01)The maize (Zea mays) enzyme b-carotene hydroxylase 2 (ZmBCH2) controls key steps in the conversion of b-carotene to zeaxanthin in the endosperm. The ZmBCH2 gene has an endosperm-preferred and developmentally regulated ... -
Effects of a heat wave on nocturnal stomatal conductance in Eucalyptus camaldulensis
(MDPI, 2018)Nocturnal transpiration constitutes a significant yet poorly understood component of the global water cycle. Modeling nocturnal transpiration has been complicated by recent findings showing that stomata respond differently ... -
Wheat pre-anthesis development as affected by photoperiod sensitivity genes (Ppd-1) under contrasting photoperiods
(CSIRO Publishing, 2018)Fine tuning wheat phenology is of paramount importance for adaptation. A better understanding of how genetic constitution modulates the developmental responses during pre-anthesis phases would help to maintain or even ... -
Scarce population genetic differentiation but substantial spatiotemporal phenotypic variation of water‑use efficiency in Pinus sylvestris at its western distribution range
(Springer, 2018-10-23)Water and carbon fluxes in forests are largely related to leaf gas exchange physiology varying across spatiotemporal scales and modulated by plant responses to environmental cues. We quantified the relevance of genetic and ... -
Nitrogen management in double-annual cropping system (barley-maize) under irrigated Mediterranean environments
(Elsevier, 2019-02)Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) is an agricultural necessity, as it can contribute to increasing crop productivity, while decreasing environmental degradation. Double-annual cropping systems can reduce N losses ... -
Physiological drought responses improve predictions of live fuel moisture dynamics in a Mediterranean forest.
(Elsevier, 2018)The moisture content of live fuels is an important determinant of forest flammability. Current approaches for modelling live fuel moisture content typically focus on the use of drought indices. However, these have mixed ... -
Circadian regulation of photosynthesis and transpiration from genes to ecosystems
(Elsevier, 2018)Circadian regulation is an endogenous self-sustaining mechanism that drives temporal gene expression and, amongst others, affects the diurnal patterns of photosynthesis (A) and stomatal conductance (gs). Here we review ...
