Analysis of Cell Death Induction by the Barley NLR Immune Receptor PBR1

PhytoFrontiers, 2023
The barley (Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare) disease-resistance protein AvrPphB Response 1 (PBR1) mediates recognition of the Pseudomonas syringae effector, AvrPphB. PBR1 belongs to the coiled-coil nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat family.

The shape of the predator biomass distribution affects biological pest control services in agricultural landscapes

Functional Ecology, 2020
1. Understanding how community composition of service-providing organisms affects ecosystem functioning is a key challenge in ecology. Although it has been proposed that taxonomic diversity and functional traits mediate this relationship, how several ...

Microorganisms and Biological Pest Control: An Analysis Based on a Bibliometric Review

Agronomy, 2020
The use of microorganisms for biological pest control as biological control agents (BCAs) and biopesticides was developed worldwide in the 1960s. Despite the abundance of reviews published on this topic, no meta-analysis using bibliometric tools has been

Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]

, 2010
To test the hypothesis that pest species diversity enhances biological pest control with generalist predators, we studied the dynamics of three major pest species on greenhouse cucumber: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande ...
