Transplant ability to overcome physiological stress and become established in a new environment depends on the ability of seedlings to withstand root disturbance, the water and nutrient uptake capacity of the roots, and the plant capacity to regenerate new roots. This response is the result of changes in gene expression that are related to the mechanisms activated by the plant to withstand stress. Focusing on the critical stage after transplanting, Bioiberica, S.A developed Inicium, a totall...

In order to evaluate the physiological changes that determine the tolerance to salinity induced by StresSal and to learn as much as possible about the mechanism of action of the product, we carried out an experiment in a growing chamber on tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum) that developed with different levels of salinity (50, 100 and 150mM NaCl). The aim of the study was to examine the response of the plants in the short-to-medium term, more related to the osmotic effect due to the red...

In plant life cycle transplanting is one of the most stressful phases, especially if an environmental stress factor occurs within the following days. Plant’s ability to establish itself and settle down after transplanting depends on its adaptive response to changing environmental factors. This response is the result of changes in gene expression that are related to the mechanisms activated by the plant to withstand stress. Inicium® is a totally natural product based on characterized pepti...

Scientific Communications | Cera-Trap®
Cera Trap® is a product developed by Bioibérica SA in the form of a soluble concentrate (SL) based on hydrolyzed proteins; it is intended for use in agriculture as a food attractant to trap fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata). It comes in two presentations: a) a liquid attractant in bottles, for use with fly traps such as Tephri-Trap (CT) with funnels; b) a ready-to-use system in bottles, which includes the liquid attractant and the trap in a single product (CTB), with an attractant effect th...

Effect of a peptide-based formulation on the induction of PR proteins and on the development of tomatoes. In order to determine the mechanism of action of the product Inicum, we studied its effect on growth in tomatoes in greenhouse conditions, on the microbiota and on induction of PR proteins. The first phase of the study of the mechanism of action examined the expression of specific pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins as result of transplantation and, in some cases, application of the produ...
