Sugar deficiency causes changes in cuticle permeability and cell wall composition that influence fruit postharvest shelf-life
(2014-06-18)The cuticle is a protective layer synthesized by epidermal cells of the plants and consisting of cutin covered and filled by waxes. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit, the thick cuticle embedding epidermal cells has ... -
Superior fruit total soluble solid content of red x pink F1 hybrids over nearly-isogenic parental lines
(2022)Pink-coloured tomatoes are reputed as good flavoured and are very popular in local markets. Pink tomatoes show a transparent, colourless fruit cuticle in contrast to the naringenin-chalcone flavonoid-rich, orange-yellow ... -
Sustainability in the management of scientific information
(Springer Nature, 2020-09-25)The sustainability in the management of scientific information is becoming compromised in this new age of Big Data. Herein, I present and discuss some of the main challenges of this situation in both scientific practice ... -
Synaptotagmin1 regulates membrane fusion events that are essential for abiotic stress tolerance in plants
(2013-11-26)Plants undergo continuous exposure to various abiotic stresses in their natural environment. For this reason they have evolved intricate mechanisms to perceive external signals and trigger the physiological changes necessary ... -
Synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of octyltrimethylammonium tetrathiotungstate
(Springer Nature, 2021)Octyltrimethylammonium tetrathiotungstate salt (ATT-C8) was synthesized and its ability to chelate copper was evaluated. The biological and toxic aspects were evaluated by in vitro and in vivo assays, using bovine aorta ... -
Synthetic and molecular genetic approaches in plant hormone research
(2019-09-23)Phytohormones govern plant physiology, environmental adaptation and phenotypic plasticity. Hormone auxin is critical for growth at every stage of plant’s life, from seed germination to fruit ripening. We investigated the ... -
Systems Biology Approaches to Evaluate Disease Modularity
(Universidad de Málaga, Servicio de Publicaciones y Divulgación Científica, 2014)Biological systems are in a constant process of innovation as an essential precondition to evolve. For this reason, the emergence of phenotypic variation is an inherent property of complex adaptive systems. Even though ... -
SYT mutations membrane fusions with whole plant hypersensitivity to abiotic stresses
(2013-11-21)Plants undergo continuous exposure to various abiotic stresses in their natural environment. For this reason they have evolved intricate mechanisms to perceive external signals and trigger the physiological changes necessary ... -
Targeted gene modification in Fragaria vesca mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 system
(2016)Genome editing is becoming an important biotechnological tool for gene function analysis and crop improvement, being the CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat-CRISPR associated protein 9) ... -
Targeted mutagenesis of FaTM6 in the Octoploid Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) using the CRISPR/Cas9 System
(2018-07-12)The B-class of MADS-box transcription factors has been studied in many plant species, but remain functionally uncharacterized in the Rosaceae family. APETALA3 (AP3), a member of this class, controls the identity of petals ... -
The art of sequence alignment
(2014-02-12)Sequence similarity: why are we interested in, how do you define it Scoring metrics: what is important in similarity Scoring with DNA: integrating biological knowledge Scoring with proteins: integrating biological ... -
The coffee diterpene kahweol is an antitumoral compound for human estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer cells
(SEBBM, 2013-09-04)Although epidemiological studies indicate that coffee consumption is associated with a low incidence of several kinds of cancer, there are still few studies on the anti-tumoral effects of pure bioactive compounds isolated ... -
The enzymatic determination of glucose in carbonated beverages: a useful tool for the undergraduate students to learn the basis of enzymatic analysis and the comparison of two analytical methods
(2017-03-20)The importance of enzymatic analysis in biochemistry, clinical chemistry and food chemistry is undoubted. The course "Applied Biochemistry" in our Faculty is aimed to undergraduate students of Chemistry and Biochemistry. ... -
The molecular control of tomato fruit quality traits: the trade off between visual attributes, shelf life and nutritional value
(2013-07-19)Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an established model to study fleshy fruit development and ripening and is an important crop in terms of its economic and nutritional value. Tomato fruit quality is a function of metabolite ... -
The NAC transcription factor FaRIF controls fruit ripening in strawberry
(Oxford University Press, 2021-02-24)In contrast to climacteric fruits such as tomato, the knowledge on key regulatory genes controlling the ripening of straw- berry, a nonclimacteric fruit, is still limited. NAC transcription factors (TFs) mediate different ... -
The NAC transcription factor FaRIF is a key regulator of fruit ripening in strawberry
(2021-11-26)In contrast to climacteric fruits such as tomato, the knowledge on key regulatory genes controlling the ripening of strawberry, a non-climacteric fruit, is still limited. NAC transcription factors are proteins that mediate ... -
The noni anthraquinone damnacanthal is a multi-kinase inhibitor with potent anti-angiogenic effects
(Elsevier, 2017-01)The natural bioactive compound damnacanthal inhibits several tyrosine kinases. Herein, we show that -in fact- damancanthal is a multi kinase inhibitor. A docking and molecular dynamics simulation approach allows getting ... -
