Historical and future spatially-explicit climate change impacts on mycorrhizal and saprotrophic macrofungal productivity in Mediterranean pine forests
(Elsevier, 2022)Fungi are responsible for many of the processes that occur in natural ecosystems and largely determine forest ecosystem dynamics, such as the ability of trees to access limiting nutrients and sequester carbon. Understanding ... -
Macabeo (Viura) grape response to climate variability in areas located at different elevations in the Rioja Designation of Origin
(WILEY, 2022)This research aims to analyse the influence of climatic conditions on phenology and grape composition of Macabeo, which is one of the white varieties authorized in Rioja DOCa. Phenological dates for flowers separated and ... -
The influence of planting periods on herbivore and natural enemy abundance on yellow sticky traps in Bt maize fields
(MDPI, 2022)Simple Summary Previous research has shown that both landscape and field variables significantly influence the abundance of herbivorous insects and their natural enemies in Bt maize; however, crop phenology was found to ... -
Anthropogenic disturbances and the emergence of native diseases: a threat to forest health
(Springer, 2022)Purpose of Review Human-caused global change is fundamentally altering natural forest ecosystems. More trees are exhibiting a wide range of symptoms indicative of poor vigour, particularly stressed species at the edge of ... -
Molecular and morphological identification of the alfalfa weevil larval parasitoids Bathyplectes anura and Bathyplectes curculionis to estimate the rate of parasitism
(Springer, 2022)The alfalfa weevil (Hypera postica Gyllenhal, Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major pest of alfalfa crops. Chemical control measures are inefficient, but the larvae are often infested by parasitoid wasps of the genus ... -
Uncertainty of biomass stocks in Spanish forests: a comprehensive comparison of allometric equations
(Springer, 2022)Biomass and carbon content are essential indicators for monitoring forest ecosystems and their role in climate action, but their estimation is not straightforward. A typical approach to solve these limitations has been the ... -
A closer look at sex pheromone autodetection in the Oriental fruit moth
(Springer Nature, 2022)Female moths emit sex pheromone to attracts males, and although they are not attracted to their own sex pheromone, they appear to detect it as it affects their behavior. In order to elucidate the mechanism of pheromone ... -
Development of a facile genetic transformation system for the Spanish elite rice paella genotype Bomba
(SPRINGER, 2022)We report the development of an efficient and reproducible genetic transformation system for the recalcitrant Spanish elite rice paella genotype, Bomba. Preconditioned embryos derived from dry seeds were bombarded with ... -

Farming and earth observation: sentinel-2 data to estimate within-field wheat grain yield
(Elsevier, 2022)Wheat grain yield (GY) is a crop feature of central importance affecting agricultural, environmental, and socioeconomic sustainability worldwide. Hence, the estimation of within-field variability of GY is pivotal for the ... -
Sensible heat and latent heat flux estimates in a tall and dense forest canopy under unstable conditions
(MDPI, 2022)A method to estimate the sensible heat flux (H) for unstable atmospheric condition requiring measurements taken in half-hourly basis as input and involving the land surface temperature (LST), HLST, was tested over a tall ... -
Treetop: A Shiny-based application and R package for extracting forest information from LiDAR data for ecologists and conservationists
(British Ecological Society, 2022)Individual tree detection (ITD) and crown delineation are two of the most relevant methods for extracting detailed and reliable forest information from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) datasets. However, advanced ... -
Straightening the crooked: intraspecific divergence of stem posture control and associated trade-offs in a model conifer
(Oxford University Press, 2022)Although the straightening capacity of the stem is key for light capture and mechanical stability in forest trees, little is known about its adaptive implications. Assuming that stem straightening is costly, trade-offs are ... -
Climate-change-driven growth decline of European beech forests
(Nature Research, 2022)The growth of past, present, and future forests was, is and will be affected by climate variability. This multifaceted relationship has been assessed in several regional studies, but spatially resolved, large-scale analyses ... -
Hybrids Provide More Options for Fine-Tuning Flowering Time Responses of Winter Barley
(2022)Crop adaptation requires matching resource availability to plant development. Tight coordination of the plant cycle with prevailing environmental conditions is crucial to maximizing yield. It is expected that winters in ... -
Rachis brittleness in a hybrid–parent barley (Hordeum vulgare) breeding germplasm with different combinations at the non‐brittle rachis genes
(John Wiley & Sons, 2020)Two dominant, closely linked and complementary genes, Btr1 and Btr2, control rachis brittleness in barley. Recessive mutations in any of these genes turn the fragile rachis (brittle) into a tough rachis phenotype (non‐brittle). ... -
Major fowering time genes of barley: allelic diversity, efects, and comparison with wheat
(Springer, 2021)Key message. This review summarizes the allelic series, effects, interactions between genes and with the environment, for the major flowering time genes that drive phenological adaptation of barley. Abstract: The optimization ... -
Barberry plays an active role as an alternate host of Puccinia graminis in Spain
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2022)Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis, is a destructive group of diseases. The patho - gen uses Berberis species as alternate hosts to complete its life cycle. B. vulgaris and the endemic species B. hispanica and B. ... -
The number of tree species on Earth
(National Academy of Sciences, 2022)One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth. However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, ... -
Physicochemical characterization of the recombinant lectin scytovirin and microbicidal activity of the SD1 domain produced in rice against HIV-1
(Springer, 2022)Scytovirin (SVN) is an HIV-neutralizing lectin that features two structural domains (SD1 and SD2) that bind to HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins. We expressed SD1 in rice seeds as a potential large-scale production platform and ...
