Variación natural y evolución de los mecanismos de respuesta y adaptación de las plantas a la combinación de estrés hídrico y térmico
Tesis realizada en la Universidad de OviedoSara Guerrero Recio, autora de la tesis, resume cómo las plantas res-ponderán al cambio climático. A través de un enfoque de biología de sis-temas, ha identificado un "kit molecular" clave para la supervivencia frente al aumento de las temperaturas y de los periodos de sequía. Este kit está conservado entre especies vegetales evolutivamente muy dife-rentes, lo que potencialmente permitirá aplicar los resultados a muchas especies más.
Gracias a esta investigación, estos posibles marcadores de tolerancia podrían aplicarse en programas de selección o mejora genética para hacer plantas de interés comercial y ecológico más resistentes al cambio climático.MINISTERIO DE CIENCIA, INNOVACIÓN Y UNIVERSIDADES * FECYT * UCC+

A hand-drawn graphite electrode for affordable analysis: application to the enzymatic determination of tyramine in fish
The development of simpler and greener, but also reliable and efficient analytical sensors that meet the
increasing global demands is a current challenge. In this work, a user-friendly and low-cost electrochemical cell
was developed by combining two metallic wires (from a standard connector header) and a working electrode
fabricated by pencil hand-drawing, which is one of the simplest, cheapest, and greenest ways of creating
miniaturized electrodes. Graphite pencils with different degrees of hardness were tested and, using a 6B pencil,
an electroanalytical platform with high precision (RSD < 5 %) was achieved. This platform was used as transducer for constructing an enzymatic biosensor for the determination of tyramine, using tyrosinase as the biological recognition element. After the optimization of several parameters, the biosensor showed a linear range
between 5 and 150 mg·L− 1
, a limit of detection of 0.4 mg·L− 1
, and high selectivity for tyramine with no
interference from other biogenic amines. This biosensor was successfully applied to the analysis of different fish
species achieving recovery values between 87 % and 100 %. Its usefulness for monitoring tyramine concentration
during the spoilage of a sardine sample was also demonstrated. Therefore, this cheap and miniaturized biosensor
represents an interesting alternative for tyramine determination. Moreover, the good electrochemical features of
the developed electrochemical cell demonstrated its potential for the development of future electrochemical
sensorsThis work was supported by the Spanish Government (MCIN/AEI/
