• Characterization and comparative analysis of the genome of Puccinia sorghi Schwein, the causal agent of maize common rust 

      Rochi, Lucía; Dieguez, Maria Jose; Burguener, Germán; Darino, Martín Alejandro; Pergolesi, María Fernanda; Ingala, Lorena Romina; Cuyeu, Alba Romina; Turjanski, Adrián; Kreff, Enrique D.; Sacco, Francisco (Elsevier, 2018-03)
      Rust fungi are one of the most devastating pathogens of crop plants. The biotrophic fungus Puccinia sorghi Schwein (Ps) is responsible for maize common rust, an endemic disease of maize (Zea mays L.) in Argentina that ...
    • Characterization and use in wheat breeding of leaf rust resistance genes from durable varieties 

      Dieguez, Maria Jose; Lopez, Micaela; Altieri, Emiliano; Pergolesi, María Fernanda; Dabove, Marisol Alicia; Cuyeu, Alba Romina; Justus, Nadia Alejandra; Kandus, Mariana Virginia; Ingala, Lorena Romina; Sacco, Francisco (MDPI, 2021-11)
      Leaf rust is one of the most significant diseases of wheat worldwide. In Argentina, it is one of the main reasons for variety replacement that becomes susceptible after large-scale use. Some varieties showed durable ...
    • Genetic diversity in a world germplasm collection of tall fescue 

      Cuyeu, Alba Romina; Rosso, Beatriz Susana; Pagano, Elba Maria; Soto, Gabriela; Fox, Ana Romina; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel (2013)
      Festuca arundinacea Schreb., commonly known as tall fescue, is a major forage crop in temperate regions. Recently, a molecular analysis of different accessions of a world germplasm collection of tall fescue has demonstrated ...
    • The genetic diversity of wild rescuegrass is associated with precipitation levels 

      Cuyeu, Alba Romina; Pagano, Elba Maria; Rosso, Beatriz Susana; Soto, Gabriela Cinthia; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel (Springer, 2014-04-27)
      The genus Bromus belongs to the family Poaceae, contains over 160 annual and perennial species of grasses, varying in ploidy level from diploid (2n = 14) to dodecaploid (2n = 70) (Fortune et al. 2008). One of the most ...
    • Mapping a gene on wheat chromosome 4BL involved in a complementary interaction with adult plant leaf rust resistance gene LrSV2 

      Dieguez, Maria Jose; Petignat, Camila; Ferella, Luciana; Fiorentino, Gabriela A.; Silva, Martha; Dabove, Marisol Alicia; Rosero Yanez, Gustavo Iván; Lopez, Micaela; Pergolesi, María Fernanda; Ingala, Lorena Romina; Cuyeu, Alba Romina; Sacco, Francisco (Springer, 2018-08)
      A complementary gene to LrSV2 for specific adult plant leaf rust resistance in wheat was mapped on chromosome 4BL, tightly linked to Lr12 / 31. LrSV2 is a race-specific adult plant leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) resistance ...
