Analysis of vector behavior as a tool to predict Xylella fastidiosa patterns of spread
The most likely scenarios for Xylella fastidiosa introduction in Central Europe is through infected ornamental plants, with a successive spillover from gardens and parks to cultivated orchards. G...
Evolutionary change - patterns and processes
The present review considered: (a) the factors that conditioned the early transition from non-life to life; (b) genome structure and complexity in prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and organelles; (c) compa...
Global features of sequences of bacterial chromosomes, plasmids and phages revealed by analysis of oligonucleotide usage patterns
Oligonucleotide frequencies were shown to be conserved signatures for bacterial genomes, however, the underlying constraints have yet not been resolved in detail. In this paper we analyzed oligonuc...
GUS gene expression driven by a citrus promoter in transgenic tobacco and 'Valencia' sweet orange
The objective of this work was the transformation of tobacco and 'Valencia' sweet orange with the GUS gene driven by the citrus phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene promoter (CsPP). Transformatio...
Intrinsic bent DNA sites in the chromosomal replication origin of Xylella fastidiosa 9a5c
The features of the nucleotide sequences in both replication and promoter regions have been investigated in many organisms. Intrinsically bent DNA sites associated with transcription have been desc...
On the drought in the Balearic Islands during the hydrological year 2015-2016
During the hydrological year 2015-2016 (September to August) a severe drought affected the Balearic Islands, with substantial consequences (alleviated partially by desalination plants) on water ava...
Patterns of Xylella fastidiosa colonization on the precibarium of sharpshooter vectors relative to transmission to plants
Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial plant pathogen that causes many plant diseases, including Pierce's disease of grapevines. Sharpshooter leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) vectors t...
Seasonal patterns of female Homalodisca coagulata (Say) (Hemiptera : Cicadellidae) reproductive physiology in Riverside, California
Female Homalodisca coagulata (Say) were collected from October 2001 to February 2005 from citrus at the University of California, Riverside. Between 5 and 20 females per sampling date were dissecte...
SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF PLUM LEAF SCALD IN SAO PAULO STATE, BRAZIL
This study characterizes the spatial dynamics of Plum Leaf Scald on three commercial orchards located in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. All trees from each orchard were evaluated during four consecutive ...
Temporal Patterns in Homalodisca spp. (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) Oviposition on Southern California Citrus and Jojoba
A detailed study of the distribution of egg masses of Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar) and H. liturata Ball was done across a 2-yr period (2001-2003) on six host plants in southern California (Mars...
Transcriptome changes in Arabidopsis thaliana infected with Pseudomonas syringae during drought recovery
Field-grown plants experience cycles of drought stress and recovery due to variation in soil moisture status. Physiological, biochemical and transcriptome responses instigated by recovery are expec...
