Review. Characterization and selection of hexaploid wheats containing resistance to Heterodera avenae or Mayetiola destructor introgressed from Aegilops
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2008)Cereal cyst nematode (CCN, Heterodera avenae) and Hessian fly (HF, Mayetiola destructor) are two major pests affecting wheat crops worldwide including important cereal areas of Spain. Aegilops ventricosa and Ae. triuncialis ... -
Rice endosperm is cost-effective for the production of recombinant griffithsin with potent activity against HIV
(Wiley, 2016)Protein microbicides containing neutralizing antibodies and antiviral lectins may help to reduce the rate of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) if it is possible to manufacture the components in large ... -
Rice endosperm produces an underglycosylated and potent form of the HIV-neutralizing monoclonal antibody 2G12
(Wiley, 2016)Protein microbicides against HIV can help to prevent infection but they are required in large, repetitive doses. This makes current fermenter-based production systems prohibitively expensive. Plants are advantageous as ... -
Riego por goteo suberráneo en cultivos de maíz y alfalfa

Risk and reward of the global truffle sector under predicted climate change
(IOP Science, 2022)Climate change has been described as the main threat for the cultivation and growth of truffles, but hydroclimate variability and model uncertainty challenge regional projections and adaptation strategies of the emerging ... -
RNA2‐encoded VP37 protein of Broad bean wilt virus 1 is a determinant of pathogenicity, host susceptibility, and a suppressor of post‐transcriptional gene silencing
(British Society for Plant Pathology; John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020-09-16)Broad bean wilt virus 1 (BBWV‐1, genus Fabavirus, family Secoviridae) is a bipartite, single‐stranded positive‐sense RNA virus infecting many horticultural and ornamental crops worldwide. RNA1 encodes proteins involved in ... -
Role of plant volatiles and hetero-specific pheromone components in the wind tunnel response of male Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to modified sex pheromone blends
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-02-27)Female Grapholita molesta (Busck) release a pheromone blend composed of two stereoisomeric acetates (Z8-12:Ac and E8-12:Ac), which in a 100:6 ratio stimulate maximum conspecific male approach. Z8-12:OH is described as a ... -
Root growth, soil water content and yield of barley under different tillage systems on two soils in semiarid conditions
(Elsevier, 2001)An experiment was conducted on two soils in a semiarid area in the Spain´s Ebro valley. Soil A was a Fluventic Xerochrept of 120 cm depth and Soil B was a Lithic Xeric Torriorthent of 30 cm depth. Three tillage systems ... -
Root respiration of barley in a semiarid Mediterranean agroecosystem: field and modelling approaches
(Springer Verlag, 2012)Aims Root respiration is a major contributor to soil CO2 flux, and its response to management practices needs to be evaluated. The aim was to determine the effect of management practices (tillage systems and nitrogen ... -
Rubidium marking reveals different patterns of movement in four ground beetle species (Col., Carabidae) between adjacent alfalfa and maize
(The Royal Entomological Society; John Wiley & Sons, 2015-11-17)In the north-east Iberian Peninsula, in summer, arable crop landscapes are characterized by a mosaic of alfalfa and maize. Although carabids are among the main predators in both crops, crop management can affect their ... -
Salicylic acid mitigates physiological and proteomic changes induced by the SPCP1 strain of Potato virus X in tomato plants
(Elsevier, 2016)Induction of resistance by salicylic acid (SA) exogenous treatment is a complementary approach to control plant diseases. SA effect on Potato virus X (SPCP1 strain) - infected tomato plants was examined by analyzing their ... -
Sampling and selection of butterfly indicators for general surveillance of genetically modified maize in north-east Spain
(Elsevier, 2021-01-22)Genetically modified (GM) maize has been cultivated commercially in Spain since 1998. Although long-term environmental monitoring to detect unexpected environmental effects of GM crops (General Surveillance, GS) is compulsory ... -
Sampling forest soils to describe fungal diversity and composition. Which is the optimal sampling size in Mediterranean pure and mixed pine oak forests?
(British Mycological Society; Elsevier, 2021-02-08)Soil sampling is a critical step affecting perceived fungal diversity, however sampling optimization for high-throughput-DNA sequencing studies have never been tested in Mediterranean forest ecosystems. We identified the ... -
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 ... -
Seedling development and biomass as affected by seed size and morphology in durum wheat
(Cambridge University Press, 2002)This work evaluated the effect of seed size and morphology on the development and biomass of durum wheat seedlings. Three different seed-grading sizes selected by sieving were used in glasshouse experiments, and a set of ... -
Seeds as a production system for molecular pharming applications: status and prospects
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2013)The production of recombinant proteins in seeds is achieved by driving transgene expression using promoters and protein targeting sequences derived from genes encoding abundant seed storage proteins. This approach is ... -
