Absence of the nitrous oxide reductase gene cluster in commercial alfalfa inoculants is probably due to the extensive loss of genes during rhizobial domestication
(Springer, 2018-08)As other legume crops, alfalfa cultivation increases the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Since legumesymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria play a crucial role in this emission, it is important to understand ... -
Amylose starch with no detectable branching developed through DNA-free CRISPR-Cas9 mediated mutagenesis of two starch branching enzymes in potato
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-02-22)DNA-free genome editing was used to induce mutations in one or two branching enzyme genes (Sbe) in tetraploid potato to develop starch with an increased amylose ratio and elongated amylopectin chains. By using ribonucleoprotein ... -
Assessment of physiological races of Exserohilum turcicum isolates from maize in Argentina and Brazil
(Springer, 2021-02)Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) is one of the most important diseases in maize worldwide. It is caused by the fungus Exserohilum turcicum, which exhibits a high genetic variability for virulence, and hence physiological ... -
Characterization of a deletion in the Hsp70 cluster in the bovine reference genome
(Wiley Online Library, 2017-07-11)The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70) are highly conserved molecular chaperones which have a crucial role in the stress response of the cell. In mammals, the Hsp70 proteins are encoded by a cluster of three genes: ... -
Complete Sequence and Organization of pFR260, the Bacillus thuringiensis INTA Fr7-4 Plasmid Harboring Insecticidal Genes
(2017)We report the complete sequence and analysis of pFR260, a novel megaplasmid of 260,595 bp from the Bacillus thuringiensis strain INTA Fr7-4 isolated in Argentina. It carries 7 insecticidal genes: 3 cry8 copies previously ... -
Cow management modulates gene expression in the mammary gland, a possible epigenetics role
(2015)Epigenetics, the study of the change in gene expression that occurs without alteration in DNA sequences, leads to modifications that can be passed on by mitosis. It has been known for many years that cow management during ... -
Dataset of the first transcriptome assembly of the tree crop “yerba mate” (Ilex paraguariensis) and systematic characterization of protein coding genes
(2018-04)This contribution contains data associated to the research article entitled “Exploring the genes of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil.) by NGS and de novo transcriptome assembly” (Debat et al., 2014) [1]. By means ... -
Desarrollo de una metodología de extracción de conocimientos a partir de datos de micromatrices de DNA basada en ontologías genéticas
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2008-12)Los experimentos de micromatrices de DNA permiten obtener información sobre la expresión conjunta de cientos o miles de genes, lo que ha producido un importante incremento en el volumen de datos disponibles en el área de ... -
Diversity and distribution of lepidoptera-specific toxin genes in Bacillus thuringiensis strains from Argentina
(2017-05)A total of 268 Bacillus thuringiensis strains obtained from different sources of Argentina were analyzed to determine the diversity and distribution of the cry1, cry2, cry8, cry9 and vip3A genes encoding for lepidopteran-specific ... -
Draft genome sequence of Mycobacterium bovis 04-303, a highly virulent strain from Argentina
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-11)Mycobacterium bovis strain 04-303 was isolated from a wild boar living in a free-ranging field in Argentina. This work reports the draft genome sequence of this highly virulent strain and the genomic comparison of its major ... -
Editorial : Plant transformation
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)Plant transformation provides a key tool for much basic research, such as the study of gene functions and interactions, protein–protein interactions, developmental processes, as well as applications for crop improvement ... -
Effect of Vrn-1, Ppd-1 genes and earliness per se on heading time in Argentinean bread wheat cultivars
(2014-03)Predicting phenology, in particular heading time, is crucial to avoid and/or minimize risk of damage of frost, drought and high temperatures during grain filling. Although some of the major genes controlling development, ... -
Effects of deletion of the ac109 gene of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus on interactions with mammalian cells
(2017-03)Baculoviruses are able to enter into mammalian cells, where they can express a transgene that is placed under an appropriate promoter, without producing infectious progeny. ORF109 encodes an essential baculovirus protein ... -
Effects of photoperiod sensitivity genes Ppd‐B1 and Ppd‐D1 on spike fertility and related traits in bread wheat
(Wiley Online Library, 2018-04-27)Increasing grain yield is a key breeding goal in bread wheat. Several authors have suggested that a spike fertility index (SF), that is the quotient between grain number per unit spike (GNS) and spikechaff dry weight (SCDW), ... -
Evidence of a fixed internal gene constellation in influenza A viruses isolated from wild birds in Argentina (2006–2016)
(Springer Nature, 2018)Wild aquatic birds are the major reservoir of influenza A virus. Cloacal swabs and feces samples (n = 6595) were collected from 62 bird species in Argentina from 2006 to 2016 and screened for influenza A virus. Full genome ... -
