Heritable leaf traits as indicators of drought tolerance in Neltuma Alba for genetic improvement and ecological restoration
(Springer, 2026)Climate change-induced droughts are pressing threats to forest species, especially in semi-arid regions like the Chaco, in South America. Developing drought-adapted genetic material for Neltuma alba, a keystone species for ... -
Determination of Chlorophyll Concentration in In Vitro Peanut Leaves
(Wiley, 2025-05)The detection of chlorophyll is a convenient method for assessing gene editing efficiency when generating mutations in the phytoene desaturase (PDS) gene, which is related to chlorophyll biosynthesis. Various instruments ... -
Land-Use Change Scenarios and Their Implications for Bird Conservation in Subtropical Forests
(MDPI, 2025-06)(1) Background: Land-use change threatens biodiversity globally, making it essential to anticipate future impacts. (2) Methods: We assess future land-use change scenarios as a tool for analyzing the taxonomic and functional ... -
Functional Connectivity in Future Land-Use Change Scenarios as a Tool for Assessing Priority Conservation Areas for Key Bird Species: A Case Study from the Chaco Serrano
(MDPI, 2025-07)Planning conservation for multiple species while accounting for habitat availability and connectivity under uncertain land-use changes presents a major challenge. This study proposes a protocol to identify strategic ... -
Phylogeny and chromosomal differentiation in Cestreae (Solanaceae)
(Wiley, 2025-09)Cestreae is a monophyletic tribe within the subfamily Cestroideae (Solanaceae), comprising the American genera Cestrum, Sessea, and Vestia. While the monophyly of Cestrum has been confirmed by DNA sequences, the phylogenetic ... -
Evaluación del digerido anaeróbico del Mercado San Miguel de Malagueño como biofertilizante en berenjena = Evaluation of anaerobic decomposition from the San Miguel wholesale market of Malagueño as a biofertilizer in eggplant
(Asociación Argentina de Horticultura (ASAHO), 2025-12)El Mercado mayorista frutihortícola de San Miguel de Malagueño, en Córdoba, ha gestionado todos sus residuos orgánicos mediante biodigestión anaeróbica desde 2014. No obstante, el digerido no es aprovechado en el esquema ... -
Mind the Gaps: Shortfalls in Studies of the Intraspecific Genetic Diversity of Plants Across the Gran Chaco
(Wiley, 2025-12)Intraspecific genetic diversity (IGD) is a fundamental component of biodiversity, essential for understanding the evolutionary histories and demographic processes of species, and is key to effective conservation planning. ... -
A comet assay protocol for analysis of DNA damage in cryopreserved nuclei from Arabidopsis seeds, seedlings, and leaves
(Elsevier, 2025-12)The comet assay is classically applied to study DNA damage at the single-cell level. In plants, it is commonly used for the analysis of seedlings, leaves, and seeds. The assay is time-consuming and runs continuously, making ... -
Presence of Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and of Spiroplasma kunkelii in the Temperate Region of Argentina
(Oxford University Press, 2013-08-01)“Corn stunt” is one of the main corn (Zea mays L.) diseases in the Americas and Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) is the key vector of the pathogen Spiroplasma kunkelii Whitcomb. In Argentina, the corn-producing area is ... -
Exitianus obscurinervis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), a New Experimental Vector of Spiroplasma kunkelii
(Oxford University Press, 2011-12-01)“Corn stunt” caused by the mollicute Spiroplasma kunkelii (Whitcomb) is potentially one of the most severe diseases affecting the corn (Zea mays L.) crop in the Americas, and the leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) ... -
What can we learn from the ecophysiology of plants inhabiting extreme environments? From ‘sherplants’ to ‘shercrops’
(Oxford University Press, 2025-05-29)In the 19th century it was proposed that ecophysiology was best studied in regions with extreme climatic conditions. In the present perspective, we argue that perhaps this is more timely than ever. The main reason is the ... -
Neutral and adaptive genetic diversity in Neltuma alba (Leguminosae), an emblematic species of the Dry Chaco Forest
(Oxford University Press, 2025-08-11)Dry forests, characterized by seasonal rainfall, are exposed to prolonged drought periods and high temperatures throughout the year, with the consequent restricted water availability. Organisms occurring in these environments ... -
Agrobiodiversity and associated trophic interactions as an indicator of sustainability in 73 productive systems of Argentine Pampeana Region
(Universidad de Murcia; Sociedad Española de Agricultura Ecológica, 2024-05-24)Biodiversity is crucial in agroecosystems, as it makes them more efficient, stronger, productive and resilient. The aim was to determine and compare the existing biodiversity in two different production systems: agroecological ... -
Nationwide native forest structure maps for Argentina based on forest inventory data, SAR Sentinel-1 and vegetation metrics from Sentinel-2 imagery
(Elsevier, 2023-02-01)Detailed maps of forest structure attributes are crucial for sustainable forest management, conservation, and forest ecosystem science at the landscape level. Mapping the structure of broad heterogeneous forests is ... -
Employing scientific evidence through synthetic indices to support management and conservation policies for an endangered tree of the Gran Chaco
(Elsevier, 2024-09)Management and conservation programs require accessible scientific evidence to effectively plan and achieve their goals. Facing regional and species-specific threats, Gonopterodendron sarmientoi, an endangered tree native ... -
