Identification and validation of reference genes for RT-qPCR normalization in wheat meiosis
(Nature Research, 2020)
Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division occurring in sexually reproducing organisms to generate haploid cells known as gametes. In flowering plants, male gametes are produced in anthers, being encased in pollen ...
Transcriptomic Response to Water Deficit Reveals a Crucial Role of Phosphate Acquisition in a Drought-Tolerant Common Bean Landrace
(MDPI, 2020)
Drought is one of the most critical factors limiting legume crop productivity. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance in the common bean is required to improve the yields of this important crop under ...
Universities That Learn to Tackle the Challenges of Sustainability: Case Study of the University of Córdoba (Spain)
(MDPI, 2020)
On their path to sustainability, universities must consider both individual and organizational components. Universities are organizations that also have the capacity to learn and evolve. By means of an analysis conducted ...
Atmospheric Pathways and Distance Range Analysis of Castanea Pollen Transport in Southern Spain
(MDPI, 2020)
The sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is the only native species of this genus in Europe, where it faces various threats that are causing a severe decrease in populations, with the resulting loss of genetic diversity. ...
Comparative Study of Several Fe Deficiency Responses in the Arabidopsis thaliana Ethylene Insensitive Mutants ein2-1 and ein2-5
(MDPI, 2021)
Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plants since it participates in essential processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen assimilation. Fe is an abundant element in most soils, but its availability ...
Modeling Major Rural Land-Use Changes Using the GIS-Based Cellular Automata Metronamica Model: The Case of Andalusia (Southern Spain)
(MDPI, 2020)
The effective and efficient planning of rural land-use changes and their impact on the environment is critical for land-use managers. Many land-use growth models have been proposed for forecasting growth patterns in the ...
Colonization Pattern of Abandoned Croplands by Quercus pyrenaica in a Mediterranean Mountain Region
(MDPI, 2021)
Land abandonment is a major global change driver in the Mediterranean region, where anthropic activity has played an important role in shaping landscape configuration. Understanding the woodland expansion towards abandoned ...
Genome Size, Chromosome Number and Morphological Data Reveal Unexpected Infraspecific Variability in Festuca (Poaceae)
(MDPI, 2021)
Polyploidy has played an important evolutionary role in the genus Festuca (Poaceae), and several ploidy levels (ranging from 2n = 2x = 14 to 2n = 12x = 84) have been detected to date. This study aimed to estimate the genome ...
Long-term trends in atmospheric Quercus pollen related to climate change in southern Spain: A 25-year perspective
(MDPI, 2021)
Long-term trends of atmospheric Quercus pollen recorded for 25 years (1995–2019) in southern Spain (Cordoba city, Andalusia region) have been studied to determine the influence of climate fluctuations and other anthropogenic ...
SDM-CropProj – A model-assisted framework to forecast crop environmental suitability and fruit production
(Elsevier, 2021)
The effects of climate change (CC) will impact species ranges, and crops are no exception. Anticipating these changes through forecasting the environmentally suitable area of crops would help to reduce or mitigate the ...
