Genotyping-by-sequencing resolves relationships in Polygonaceae tribe Eriogoneae
(Wiley, 2021-08)
The resolution of cryptic diversity is essential for understanding the evolutionary diversification of lineages and establishing conservation priorities. We examine relationships in Eriogoneae (Polygonaceae), a diverse ...
Functional repercussions of riparian biodivesity loss in streams. Multifunctionality, diversity metrics and underlying mechanisms.
(2020-12-02)
El objetivo de esta tesis es abordar cuestiones clave poco exploradas en la investigación de la relación entre la biodiversidad y el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas (BEF, por sus siglas en inglés). Concretamente se estudia ...
Biotic vs. Abiotic Control of Decomposition: A Comparison of the Effects of Simulated Extinctions and Changes in Temperature
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01)
The loss of species is known to have significant effects on ecosystem functioning, but only recently has it been recognized that species loss might rival the effects of other forms of environmental change on ecosystem ...
Abundance, composition, distribution and fate of floating marine litter in the south-east Bay of Biscay
(2022-07-19)
This PhD thesis presents a first overview of floating marine litter pollution in the south-east Bay of Biscay through a combination of harmonized observations, sampling methods, and numerical modelling techniques. Abundance ...
Distance decay 2.0 – A global synthesis of taxonomic and functional turnover in ecological communities
(Wiley, 2022-07)
Aim: Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (i.e., beta-diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine beta-diversity is to evaluate directional variation ...
"Nicotiana tabacum" L. cv Xanthi como sistema heterólogo para la producción de lactógeno placentario humano (hPL)
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2012-07-04)
El lactógeno placentario humano (hPL) es una hormona polipeptídica que forma parte de la pequeña lista de factores del crecimiento capaces de tratar la diabetes tipo 1 mediante el transplante de islotes humanos. Esta hormona ...
Depletion of the heaviest stable N isotope is associated with NH4 +/NH3 toxicity in NH4 +-fed plants
(BioMed Central, 2011-05-16)
Background: In plants, nitrate (NO(3)(-)) nutrition gives rise to a natural N isotopic signature (delta(15)N), which correlates with the delta(15)N of the N source. However, little is known about the relationship between ...
Ecodiseño de alimentos mediante análisis de ciclo de vida
(2015-12-17)
La creciente demanda de producción de alimentos debida al aumento de la población mundial, ejerce una gran presión sobre los ecosistemas y el medio ambiente del planeta. Los alimentos, a lo largo de su ciclo de vida utilizan ...
Desarrollo y optimización de herramientas biotecnológicas para la obtención de material clonal de "Pinus radiata" D. Don
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2012-07-04)
Organogénesis a partir de semillas maduras: respuesta in vitro y adaptación ex vitro.
- Embriogénesis somática a partir de semillas inmaduras (iniciación, proliferación, maduración y germinación)
- Organogénesis a partir ...
Plastidic Phosphoglucose Isomerase Is an Important Determinant of Starch Accumulation in Mesophyll Cells, Growth, Photosynthetic Capacity, and Biosynthesis of Plastidic Cytokinins in Arabidopsis
(Public Library of Science, 2015-03-26)
Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate. It is involved in glycolysis and in the regeneration of glucose-6-P molecules in the oxidative pentose ...
