      Background: Argentina has a long tradition of sunflower breeding, and its germplasm is a valuable genetic resource worldwide. However, knowledge of the genetic constitution and variability levels of the Argentinean germplasm ...
    • Seed dormancy QTL identification across a Sorghum bicolor segregating population 

      Cantoro, Renata; Fernandez, Luis German; Cervigni, Gerardo Domingo Lucio; Rodriguez, María V.; Gieco, Jorge Omar; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Benech-Arnold, Roberto Luis (2016)
      Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in Sorghum bicolor is one of the main constrains for its production in the central region of Argentina, as grain maturation often coincides with rainy or high environmental humidity conditions. ...
    • Structure and genetic diversity of three Calibrachoa caesia populations by ISSR markers 

      Perez De La Torre, Mariana; Escandon, Alejandro Salvio; Heinz, Ruth Amelia (ISHS, 2013-07)
      Calibrachoa caesia is one of thirteen native species of the genus Calibrachoa Cerv. ex La Lave et Lexarza (Solanaceae) growing in Argentina. The genus has a high ornamental value due to the morphological variability that ...
    • Sunflower germin-like protein HaGLP1 promotes ROS accumulation and enhances protection against fungal pathogens in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana 

      Beracochea, Valeria Cecilia; Almasia, Natalia Ines; Peluffo, Lucila; Nahirñak, Vanesa; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Vazquez Rovere, Cecilia; Lia, Veronica Viviana (Springer, 2015-10)
      Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are a large, diverse and ubiquitous family of plant glycoproteins belonging to the Cupin super family. These proteins have been widely studied because of their diverse roles in important plant ...
    • Sunflower leaf senescence : a complex genetic process with economic impact on crop production 

      Moschen, Sebastian Nicolas; López Gialdi, Agustín I.; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Fernandez, Paula del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia (2017)
      Leaf senescence is a complex process controlled by multiple genetic and environmental variables. In different crops, a delay in leaf senescence has an important impact on grain yield trough the maintenance of the photosynthetic ...
    • Transcription factors associated with leaf senescence in crops 

      Bengoa Luoni, Sofia Ailin; Astigueta, Francisco; Nicosia, Salvador; Moschen, Sebastian; Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia (MDPI, 2019-10)
      Leaf senescence is a complex mechanism controlled by multiple genetic and environmental variables. Different crops present a delay in leaf senescence with an important impact on grain yield trough the maintenance of the ...
    • Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals a Differential Gene Expression Profile Between Two Sunflower Inbred Lines with Different Ability to Tolerate Water Stress 

      Escalante, Maximiliano; Vigliocco, Ana Edit; Moschen, Sebastian Nicolas; Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Garcia-Garcia, Francisco; Di Rienzo, Julio A.; Andrade, Andrea; Alemano, Sergio Gabriel (Springer, 2020-01)
      Although sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is categorized as a medium drought-sensitive crop, in a changing climate scenario and/or with the onset of early droughts, the crop may be affected by water stress. This study ...
    • Unveiling the genetic basis of Sclerotinia head rot resistance in sunflower 

      Filippi, Carla Valeria; Zubrzycki, Jeremias Enrique; Di Rienzo, Julio Alejandro; Quiroz, Facundo Jose; Puebla, Andrea Fabiana; Alvarez, Daniel; Maringolo, Carla Andrea; Escande, Alberto; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Lia, Veronica Viviana (BMC, 2020-07)
