The herbicide glyphosate inhibits the shikimate pathway of the synthesis of amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, andtryptophan. However, much uncertainty remains concerning precisely how glyphosate kills plants or affects cellular redoxhomeostasis and related processes in glyphosate-sensitive and glyphosate-resistant crop plants. To address this issue, weperformed an integrated study of photosynthesis, leaf proteomes, amino acid profiles, and redox profiles in the glyphosatesensitive...

Scientific articles | Cera-Trap®
This paper reports on progress and innovations recently introduced at the National Programme of Fruit Flies in Mexico. It offers data about analternative for catch of especially the fruit flies Anastrepha spp., using together with the bait station MS2® and the efficient attractant CeraTrap®,which decreases the rates of MTD (flies/trap/day) in four weeks. New method was considered an environmentally friendly alternative with lessinjurious effects on beneficial fauna by reduced insecticide a...

Scientific articles | Dacus Trap®
Field trials were conducted on olive trees (Olea europaea cv. Manzenilo and Picual) in Kidron (Israel) and Jaén (Spain) to assess the efficacy of a specifically developed enzymatic hydrolyzed protein (Dacus Trap®) against the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin). The efficacy of Dacus Trap was evaluated in comparison with standard farm control strategies (chemical treatments), assessing olive flies population and punctured drupes. The efficacy field trials results showed that i) olive...

The efficacy of CeraTrap (CT), a specifically developed enzymatic hydrolyzed protein, was evaluated against standard mass trapping (STD mass trapping) and standard chemical treatments (Chemical STD) with field trials carried out in citrus orchards assessing medfly captures and punctured fruit. Field trials were conducted on susceptible mandarin trees (Citrus reticulata cv. Esbal), orange trees (Citrus sinensis cv. Washington Navel) and clementine trees (Citrus clementina cv. Oronules) in Mor...

The flag leaf is the most important source of carbohydrate during wheat kernel filling. Around a 75% of all sugars stored in the kernel come from carbon fixed by this leaf. Previous studies have shown that application of Terra-Sorb ® foliar, an L-α-amino acid-based product from enzymatic hydrolysis with a high ratio of free-to-total amino acids, increases plant photosynthetic activity and chlorophyll content, promotes rapid recovery from stress and improves fruit set. In this work,...
