Genome wide association mapping for the tolerance to the polyamine oxidase inhibitor guazatine in Arabidopsis thaliana
Guazatine is a potent inhibitor of polyamine oxidase (PAO) activity. In agriculture, guazatine is used as non-systemic contact fungicide efficient in the protection of cereals and citrus fruits against disease. The composition ...
Molecular diagnostics for Chagas disease: up to date and novel methodologies
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. It affects 7 million people, mainly in Latin America. Diagnosis is usually made serologically, but at some clinical scenarios serology cannot be used. Then, ...
Estudio fenologico de varias especies del genero Cystoseira en Mallorca
En el presente trabajo realizamos un estudio de las variaciones tanto desde el punto de vista morfológico como reproductor, sufridas por varias especies del género Cvstoseira, a lo largo del año. Las observaciones fueron ...
Phylogeography of Dictyota fasciola and Dictyota mediterranea (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae): unexpected patterns on the Atlantic-Mediterranean marine transition and taxonomic implications
The Atlantic-Mediterranean marine transition is a fascinating biogeographic region, but still very poorly studied from the point of view of seaweed phylogeography. Dictyota fasciola and D. mediterranea (Dictyotales, ...
Impact of Elicitation on Plant Antioxidants Production in Taxus Cell Cultures
Elicited cell cultures of Taxus spp. are successfully used as sustainable biotechnological production systems of the anticancer drug paclitaxel, but the effect of the induced metabolomic changes on the synthesis of other ...

Silene sennenii, un edemisme empordanès en perill d'extinció
[CAT] L'endemisme empordanès Silene sennenii és una espècie singular que es troba en perill d'extinció a causa, principalment, de la desaparició progressiva del seu hàbitat. En els últims anys, l'interès en la seva conservació ...
Effect of the aggregated protein dye YAT2150 on Leishmania parasite viability
The problems associated with the drugs currently used to treat leishmaniasis, including resistance, toxicity, and the high cost of some formulations, call for the urgent identification of new therapeutic agents with novel ...
Comparison of Three Viral Nucleic Acid Preamplification Pipelines for Sewage Viral Metagenomics
Viral metagenomics is a useful tool for detecting multiple human viruses in urban sewage. However, more refined protocols are required for its effective use in disease surveillance. In this study, we investigated the ...
Polyamines: Small Amines with Large Effects on Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance
In recent years, climate change has altered many ecosystems due to a combination of frequent droughts, irregular precipitation, increasingly salinized areas and high temperatures. These environmental changes have also ...
Fruit and seed morphology of Euphorbia aggr. flavicoma. Taxonomic implications
Capsula and seed morphology of W. European species of Euphorbia aggr. flavicoma has been studied. A total of 1500 seeds coming from 13 taxa have been investigated under light microscope, scanning electron microscope and ...
<i>Paenibacillus antacticus</i> sp. nov., a novel psychrotolerant organism from the Antarctic environment
An endospore-forming strain, 20CMT, was isolated from Antarctic sediment and identified as a member of the genus Paenibacillus on the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses. The organism stained Gram-variable and ...
