Activation of Grapevine Defense Mechanisms: Theoretical and Applied Approaches
2011
part 4.; International audience; Grapevine, as other plants, possesses an innate immune system that usually prevents infection by pathogens. General elicitors are compounds of different biochemical families capable of inducing plant defense reactions. In grapevine, the cascade of defense events induced by elicitors has been studied among others in cell suspensions. The perception of the elicitor triggers signaling events that allow the activation of defense genes encoding PR proteins and other proteins involved in phytoalexin production and cell wall reinforcement. The grapevine phytoalexins resveratrol and derivated compounds have been largely studied. In addition to their antimicrobial ac…
GREEN ECONOMY - THE ECONOMY OF THE FUTURE
2013
This paper defines the concept of "green economy", presents the main international organizations that deal the green economy. Are provided details of the most significant principles, objectives and actions of the concept of green economy. At the European level there is "The 2020 strategy ", which shows that Europe's economy should be an economy that knows how to manage resources efficiently and reduce carbon emissions. There are currently a number of basic laws for the green economy. Forest ecosystems are part of the green economy and the forest products industry are very important because they are renewable, recyclable and biodegradable. Thus forests are a fundament of the green economy, t…
Scientific Opinion on an application by Syngenta (EFSA-GMO-DE-2009-66) for placing on the market of herbicide tolerant and insect resistant maize Bt1…
2015
Question number: EFSA-Q-2009-00444 on request from Competent Authority of Germany; The EFSA GMO Panel previously assessed the four single events combined to produce a four-event stack maize Bt11 × MIR162 × MIR604 × GA21 and did not identify safety concerns. In this opinion, the EFSA GMO Panel assesses the four-event stack maize and all its subcombinations independently of their origin. No new data on the single events, leading to modification of the original conclusions on their safety, were identified. The molecular, agronomic, phenotypic and compositional data on the four-event stack maize did not give rise to safety concerns and there is no reason to expect interactions between the singl…
Data from: Symbiotic polydnavirus and venom reveal parasitoid to its hyperparasitoids
2018
Symbiotic relationships may provide organisms with key innovations that aid in the establishment of new niches. For example, during oviposition, some species of parasitoid wasps, whose larvae develop inside the bodies of other insects, inject polydnaviruses into their hosts. These symbiotic viruses disrupt host immune responses, allowing the parasitoid’s progeny to survive. Here, we show that symbiotic polydnaviruses also have a downside to the parasitoid’s progeny by initiating a multi-trophic chain of interactions that reveals the parasitoid larvae to their enemies. These enemies are hyperparasitoids that use the parasitoid progeny as host for their own offspring. We found that the virus …
Análisis de variables biomecánicas para la prevención y cuidado del pie diabético durante un programa de actividad física en Marcha Nórdica
2017
La marcha y sus diferentes modalidades como la marcha nórdica (NW) están aumentando como práctica de actividad física en la población. Está demostrado que esta modalidad de marcha (NW) disminuye magnitudes de presión plantar. Existen determinadas poblaciones, entre ellas la población diabética en la que se hace necesario la práctica de actividad física pero que deben tener en consideración diferentes parámetros en el pie, como es la presión plantar, el impacto el confort y la hidratación. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto sobre variables biomecánicas de presión plantar y acelerometría, así como en el confort e hidratación de un calcetín, tras la aplicación de un programa de …
Anestetici del passato: "spongia soporifera"
2010
Analgesic of the past: spongia soporifera – In order to improve the knowledge of plants used in the past as analgesic and anaesthetic, the authors refer in the current contribute to results coming from a bibliographical research carried out on plants which constituted the ingredients of “spongia soporifera”, a preparation made of a see sponge together with concentrated decoctions of medical plants. The authors analyse the species used for the preparation of “spongia soporifera”, investigating them in historical, botanic, chemical, pharmacological and toxicological aspects.
Efectos de la sobreexpresión de transportadores de cobre de alta afinidad tipo CTR en Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Arabidopsis thaliana y Oryza sativa
2019
En el presente trabajo se ha estudiado el efecto que tiene la desregulación de la entrada de Cu+ mediante la alteración y sobreexpresión de transportadores de cobre de alta afinidad, tipo Ctr en tres organismos: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Arabidopsis thaliana y Oryza sativa. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que las homeostasis del cobre y del hierro están relacionadas, ya que la alteración de la entrada de Cu+ en las células afecta a diferentes aspectos de la percepción y el transporte de hierro. En el caso de Saccharomyces cerevisiae, se ha comprobado que la falta de control en la entrada de cobre en la cepa mutante CTR1Δ300 provoca cambios en la expresión de genes como los que codifican …
Plant landscape and phytodiversity in the archeological area of Segesta (NW Sicily)
2018
In the system of Sicilian archaeological parks, the area of Segesta - an ancient city of western Sicily referring to the Carthaginian eparchy, - represents, together with Selinunte, Erice and Mothia, another integrated hotspot of biodiversity and archeaology. The current plant landscape is strongly influenced by a millenary anthropic transformation. There are no residual expressions of the original plant covering that, with reference to the environmental potential of the area, can be traced back to the evergreen Mediterranean forest dominated by Quercus ilex, presently only sporadically occurring in the area of the ruins, together with other species related to associations and upper syntaxa…
Influencia de la gestación en la huella plantar
2016
Introducción. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la evolución de las presiones plantares, las huellas plantares así como la posición del pie durante el embarazo y tras el parto. Material y métodos. Veintitrés embarazadas fueron analizadas con el sistema Biofoot ® de plantillas instrumentadas. El sistema emplea unas plantillas con 64 sensores piezoeléctricos. Se midieron las presiones del antepié, mediopié, interno, externo y talón. Las variables de estudio de presurometría fueron: Tiempo de de apoyo (TA), la Cadencia (CA), la Presión máxima (PMax), el Tiempo de presión máxima (TPMax), el inicio del apoyo (TIAP), el fin de apoyo (TFAP), el Fin de apoyo (TFAP), el Máximo de presión medi…
Analytical-numerical analysis of closed-form dynamic model of Sayano-Shushenskaya hydropower plant : stability, oscillations, and accident
2021
This work is devoted to the analysis of a mathematical model of hydropower unit, consisting of synchronous generator, hydraulic turbine, and speed governor. It is motivated by the accident happened on the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydropower plant in 2009 year. In the analysis we follow the line of classical control theory approach developed in the works of famous scientists J.C. Maxwell, I.A. Vishnegradsky, A.A. Andronov, and F. Tricomi for the study of centrifugal turbine governor and electrical machines limit-load problem. It is shown that the occurrence of vibrations in the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydropower plant can be caused by nonlinear dynamics of the closed-form model. peerReviewed
