Biological Control of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes by Filamentous Fungi Inducers of Resistance: Trichoderma, Mycorrhizal and Endophytic Fungi.
Jorge Poveda,Jorge Poveda,Patricia Abril-Urias,Patricia Abril-Urias,Carolina Escobar,Carolina Escobar +5 more
TL;DR: The use of filamentous fungi as biological control agents against plant-parasitic nematodes has been studied in this paper, where the authors showed that the use of mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi as resistance inducers is a promising durable biocontrol strategy in agriculture.
Contribution of glutathione to the control of cellular redox homeostasis under toxic metal and metalloid stress
Luis E. Hernández,Juan Sobrino-Plata,M. Belén Montero-Palmero,Sandra Carrasco-Gil,M. Laura Flores-Cáceres,Cristina Ortega-Villasante,Carolina Escobar +6 more
TL;DR: This review provides an update on mechanisms of tolerance that depend on biothiols in plant cells exposed to toxic elements, with a particular emphasis on the Hg-triggered responses, and considering the contribution of hormones to their regulation.

Anatomical Alterations in Plant Tissues Induced by Plant-Parasitic Nematodes
TL;DR: This paper is centered on cell types or organs that are newly induced in plants during PPN parasitism, including recent approaches to their study based on molecular biology combined with cell biology-histopathology.
Differential alterations of antioxidant defenses as bioindicators of mercury and cadmium toxicity in alfalfa.
Juan Sobrino-Plata,Cristina Ortega-Villasante,M. Laura Flores-Cáceres,Carolina Escobar,Francisca F. del Campo,Luis E. Hernández +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, several physiological parameters related to oxidative stress, which is a characteristic of plants exposed to toxic metals, were studied in 3-week old alfalfa plants treated with cadmium (Cd) or mercury (Hg) at doses of 0, 3, 10 and 30 μM for 7 d.

Glutathione is a key antioxidant metabolite to cope with mercury and cadmium stress
Juan Sobrino-Plata,Juan Sobrino-Plata,Dirk Meyssen,Ann Cuypers,Carolina Escobar,Luis E. Hernández +5 more
TL;DR: A minimum amount of GSH may be required for adequate metal tolerance, where γECS expression could compensate GSH deficiency under stress.
