Improving Almond Productivity under Deficit Irrigation in Semiarid Zones

Sustainable water use is one of the greatest challenges of irrigated agricultural systems. This study presents the results related to the agronomic and physiological response to the deficit irrigation of almond trees (Prunus dulcis DA Webb Mill cv. Guara) under semiarid Mediterranean conditions in the Guadalquivir river basin (SW Spain). Two deficitirrigation strategies were tested: i) regulate...

Cutting the head off chemokines

Chemokines are small secreted proteins that attract leukocyte migration. Chemokines play essential roles in the normal immune response against invading pathogens. Unfortunately, in an unregulated state they can also mediate abnormal leukocyte infiltration in ARDS, postinfarction damage, and multiple auto-immune diseases. In addition, chemokines or their receptors have also been subverted for ne...
