Dependence of egg hatching on Wolbachia density in a parthenogenetic weevil revealed by antibiotic treatment
(Wiley, 2021-04)Naupactini is a tribe of Neotropical broad‐nosed weevils highly diverse in South America. This group includes several parthenogenetic species, some of them harmful for agriculture and invasive around the world. Although ... -
Direct effect of ozone pollution on aphids: revisiting the evidence at individual and population scales
(2015-04)Most of our knowledge about the consequences of tropospheric ozone pollution on aphid–plant interaction assumes the absence of a direct effect of ozone on aphids. However, the biological effects of ozone encompass changes ... -
High-quality forage production under salinity by using a salt-tolerant AtNXH1-expressing transgenic alfalfa combined with a natural stress-resistant nitrogen-fixing bacterium
(Elsevier, 2018-06)Alfalfa, usually known as the “Queen of Forages”, is the main source of vegetable protein to meat and milk production systems worldwide. This legume is extremely rich in proteins due to its highly efficient symbiotic ... -
The overexpression of antifungal genes enhances resistance to rhizoctonia solani in transgenic potato plants without affecting arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
(Elsevier, 2019-10)The biological control of fungal diseases through the use of genetically modified (GM) plants could decrease the input of chemical pesticides. To overcome possible losses in potato (Solanum tuberosum) yield because of ... -
Retrotransposon and CRISPR/Cas9‑mediated knockout of NOD26 impairs the legume‑rhizobia symbiosis
(Springer, 2022-07)The multifunctional channel NOD26, identified and extensively studied (both biochemically and biophysically) in soybean, is a major protein component of the symbiosome membrane. The water and ammonia transport activities ... -
The ammonium channel NOD26 is the evolutionary innovation that drives the emergence, consolidation, and dissemination of nitrogen-fixing symbiosis in angiosperms
(Springer, 2018-10)Increasing evidence indicates that N-fixing symbiosis has evolved several times in the N-fixing clade of angiosperms and that this evolution is driven by a single evolutionary innovation. However, the genetics of this ... -
Wolbachia pipientis associated with tephritid fruit fly pests: from basic research to applications
(Frontiers Media, 2020-06)Members of the true fruit flies (family Tephritidae) are among the most serious agricultural pests worldwide, whose control and management demands large and costly international efforts. The need for cost-effective and ...
