A Prunus persica genome-wide RNA-seq approach uncovers major differences in the transcriptome among chilling injury sensitive and non-sensitive varieties
(WILEY, 2019)Chilling injury represents a major constrain for crops productivity. Prunus persica, one of the most relevant rosacea crops, have early season varieties that are resistant to chilling injury, in contrast to late season ... -
Chaetothyrialean fungi from aromatic hydrocarbon-polluted environments of Iran
(GEBRUDER BORNTRAEGER, 2019)In this study we aimed to isolate and characterize chaetothyrialean mitosporic fungi from natural oil fields in Iran. Soil samples were collected from areas of Khuzestan, Bushehr, and Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces ... -
Differential source-sink manipulation affects leaf carbohydrate and photosynthesis of early- and late-harvest nectarine varieties
(BRAZILIAN SOC PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, 2019)Source-sink balance is a major determinant of carbon partitioning within plants. Thinning is an agronomic practice that consists of changing the ratio between leaves and fruits, the source and sink plant organs, respectively. ... -
Evaluation of rust pathogenicity (Phragmidium violaceum) as a biological control agent for the invasive plant Rubus ulmifolius on Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile
(SPRINGER, 2019)Rubus ulmifolius is a highly invasive species that negatively affects biodiversity, especially on Robinson Crusoe Island (RCI), one of the two global mini-hotspots of vascular plants. The rust Phragmidium violaceum has ... -
Is the same pollinator species equally effective in different populations of the generalist herb Alstroemeria ligtu var. simsii?
(EDICIONES UNIV, CONCEPCION, 2019)En esta investigación estimamos la efectividad de polinización en tres poblaciones de Alstroemeria ligtu. Los resultados muestran que Lasia es el género de polinizador más frecuente, cuya efectividad varía entre poblaciones. ... -
Reciprocal grafting between clones with contrasting drought tolerance suggests a key role of abscisic acid in coffee acclimation to drought stress
(SPRINGER, 2018)The role of abscisic acid (ABA) in drought tolerance of Coffea canephora is unknown. To determine whether ABA is associated with drought tolerance and if the use of tolerant rootstocks could increase ABA and drought ... -
Response of xerophytic plants to glacial cycles in southern South America
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019)Background and Aim Quaternary glaciations strongly affected the distribution of species from arid and semi-arid environments, as temperature drops were accompanied by strong fluctuations in rainfall. In this study, we ... -
Silencing of one copy of the translation initiation factor eIFiso4G in Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) impacts susceptibility to Plum pox virus (PPV) and small RNA production
(BMC, 2019)Background In plants, host factors encoded by susceptibility (S) genes are indispensable for viral infection. Resistance is achieved through the impairment or the absence of those susceptibility factors. Many S genes have ... -
SMZ/SNZ and gibberellin signaling are required for nitrate-elicited delay of flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018)The reproductive success of plants largely depends on the correct programming of developmental phase transitions, particularly the shift from vegetative to reproductive growth. The timing of this transition is finely ... -
The Tritryps Comparative Repeatome: Insights on Repetitive Element Evolution in Trypanosomatid Pathogens
(SPRINGER, 2019)The major human pathogens Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei, and Leishmania major are collectively known as the Tritryps. The initial comparative analysis of their genomes has uncovered that Tritryps share a great ... -
Winter Injury to Grapevine Secondary Phloem and Cambium Impairs Budbreak, Cambium Activity, and Yield Formation
(SPRINGER, 2019)Vitis vinifera is a species of temperate origin that reactivates the dormant secondary phloem from the previous year at the resumption of growth in spring. Following harsh winters, grapevines may display a set of symptoms ...
