[EN] Seed longevity is important to preserve crops and wild plants and it is limited by progressive cellular damage (aging) during storage. The induction of cellular stress defenses and the formation of the seed coat are ...
[EN] A fungal gene encoding a transcription factor is expressed from its own promoter in Arabidopsis phloem and improves drought tolerance by reducing transpiration and increasing osmotic potential.
Horizontal gene ...

This work tries to elucidate the possible relationship between NGATHA and TRANSMITTING NO TRACT genes in relation to the development transmitting tract and regulation of genes that determine the formation of the ...
[ES] Significance Statement Seed tolerance to deterioration depends on anti-aging defenses only partially understood. COG1 encodes a transcription factor previously described to attenuate phytochrome responses to light and ...
[EN] Seed longevity is crucial for agriculture and plant genetic diversity, but it is limited by cellular damage during storage. Seeds are protected against aging by cellular defenses and by structures such as the seed ...
Although the plant cell wall is an extremely effective physical barrier against attack by pathogens, most phytopathogenic microorganisms produce enzymes that are capable of degrading cell wall polymers such as pectin and ...
[EN] Spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia) is an economically important aromatic plant producing essential oils,
whose components (mostly monoterpenes) are mainly synthesized through the plastidial methylerythritol
4-phosphate ...
Essential oil yield and composition in seven natural populations of Lavandula latifolia from the eastern Iberian Peninsula were
determined by GC/MS. Twenty-eight constituents were identified, accounting for 92.0e95.4% of ...

La salinidad es uno de los problemas ambientales con mayor impacto sobre la producción mundial de alimentos, especialmente en las zonas semiáridas, como puede ser el caso de la Comunidad Valenciana. Durante los últimos ...
Selgas Sanchis, Ignacio(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-26)
[ EN ] Plants are immobile organisms that live in changing environments therefore have
developed mechanisms to respond to all kinds of stresses including intracellular acid stress. PH
homeostasis allows plant cells to ...
Montañana Navarro, Betlem(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-02-11)
[EN] All the species along the evolution have developed diferents mechanisms to resist any changes
in their environment. But the plants, to be sessile organisms , have had to develop many more
tools of defense or adaptation ...
[EN] Three different pathways of serine (Ser) biosynthesis have been described in plants: the Glycolate pathway, which is part of the Photorespiratory pathway, and 2 non-Photorespiratory pathways, the Glycerate and the ...
[EN] The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) controls the development of plants and plays a crucial role in their response to adverse environmental conditions like salt and water stress.1-3 Complex interactions between ABA ...
[EN] Unlike animals, plants possess diverse L-serine (Ser) biosynthetic pathways. One of them, the Phosphorylated Pathway of Serine Biosynthesis (PPSB) has been recently described as essential for embryo, pollen and root ...
