The worldwide use of plant biostimulants (PBs) represents an environmentally friendly tool to increase crop yield and productivity. PBs include different substances, compounds, growth-promoting microorganism formulations, such as those derived from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) or seaweed extracts (SEs), which are used regulate enhance physiological processes in plants. This study analyzed the physiological, ecological, biochemical implications addition two PBs, AMF SE (both alone...
Biostimulants constitute an emerging group of crop management products used to enhance productivity under abiotic stress conditions. The ability some biostimulant products, such as seaweed extracts (SE), tolerance salinity has been documented. SE contain a series bioactive compounds and signaling molecules, well mineral organic nutrients, that greatly benefit plants. A greenhouse experiment was conducted in order evaluate SE-mediated mechanisms tomato plants stress. divided into two...
ABSTRACT Tomato plants release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) following insect or mechanical damage. In this study, the constitutive and wound‐induced emission levels of VOCs in suppressor prosystemin‐mediated responses2 ( spr2 ) mutant plants, compromised linolenic acid (LA) jasmonic (JA) synthesis, 35S::prosystemin 35S::prosys having upregulated direct defence responses, were compared. The mutants produced constitutively lower VOCs, which nonetheless increased response to (a)biotic...
Seeds of Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. are known to accumulate a trypsin‐inhibitor (ATI) member the potato‐I inhibitor family and an α ‐amylase (AAI), possessing knottin‐like fold. They believed have defensive role due their inhibition trypsin‐like enzymes ‐amylases insect pests. In this work, both inhibitory activities were found in leaves young A. plants. High constitutive levels foliar activity against bovine trypsin detected vitro assays. Trypsin was further increased by exposure diverse...
Ulva ohnoi is a cosmopolitan green seaweed with commercial potential given the biomass that may be generated. We evaluated effects of substrate changes induced by U. application on vegetative response tomato plants under greenhouse conditions. First, decomposition dynamics and N release dry were studied using litterbag method. Subsequently, we effect powder (SP) or extract (SE) applications plant growth. Additionally, growth parameters responses related to in properties associated each...

Abstract BACKGROUND Intraguild predation ( IGP ), between species that use a common resource, can affect the populations of pest, pest's natural enemy IG prey) and predator predator). In this study, we determined whether parasitoid Eretmocerus eremicus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) prey), modifies its foraging behaviour under risk by Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) Parasitoid was analysed using two bioassays (choice no‐choice) with following treatments: (i) control, tomato leaf...
Geocoris punctipes (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) and Eretmocerus eremicus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) are whitefly natural enemies. Previously, under laboratory conditions, we showed that G. engages in intraguild predation (IGP), the attack of one enemy by another, on E. eremicus. However, it is unknown whether this IGP interaction takes place more complex scenarios, such as semi-field conditions. Even importantly, effect density prey population requires investigation. Therefore, present study aimed...
SUMMARY The cattle tick Rhipicephalus ( Boophilus ) microplus is a hematophagous ectoparasite of major importance for the livestock industry. It shows remarkable ability to survive over long periods without feeding. However, mechanisms used endure long-term starvation are poorly understood. believed that autophagy, process intracellular protein degradation, may play significant role confront adverse environmental conditions. To advance our understanding autophagy in R. , present study we...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Persistence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been associated with episodes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); furthermore, co-infection RSV non-typeable <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> (NTHi) is increasingly recognized as a cause exacerbations COPD. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To study whether persistence in macrophage (Mφ)-like cell line alters NTHi uptake (adhesion and ingestion)....
In the last years, plants are being used for production of a wide variety biopharmaceuticals, including cytokines, and have potential to serve as vehicles mucosal administration these molecules. We had previously reported expression cytokine, interleukin-12 (IL-12), in transgenic tomato demonstrated that it retained its biologic activity vitro.In this work, we administered crude extracts IL-12-containing fruits mice through intratracheal route, measuring endogenous IL-12 determining by...
To ensure food security given the current scenario of climate change and accompanying ecological repercussions, it is essential to search for new technologies tools agricultural production. Microorganism-based biostimulants are recognized as sustainable alternatives traditional agrochemicals enhance protect Marine actinobacteria a well-known source novel compounds biotechnological uses. In addition, former studies have suggested that coral symbiont may support co-symbiotic photosynthetic...
