• Genomic re-assessment of the transposable element landscape of the potato genome 

      Zavallo, Diego; Crescente, Juan Manuel; Gantuz, Magdalena; Leone, Melisa; Vanzetti, Leonardo Sebastian; Masuelli, Ricardo Williams; Asurmendi, Sebastian (Springer, 2020-05)
      Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences with the ability to autoreplicate and move throughout the host genome. TEs are major drivers in stress response and genome evolution. Given their significance, the development ...
    • Immune receptor genes and pericentromeric transposons as targets of common epigenetic regulatory elements 

      Cambiagno, Damián Alejandro; Nota, María Florencia; Zavallo, Diego; Rius, Sebastián Pablo; Casati, Paula; Alvarez, Maria Elena; Asurmendi, Sebastian (Wiley, 2018-12)
      Pattern recognition receptors (PRR) and nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat proteins (NLR) are major components of the plant immune system responsible for pathogen detection. To date, the transcriptional regulation of ...
    • MITE Tracker : an accurate approach to identify miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements in large genomes 

      Crescente, Juan Manuel; Zavallo, Diego; Helguera, Marcelo; Vanzetti, Leonardo Sebastian (BioMed Central, 2018)
      Background: Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are short, non-autonomous class II transposable elements present in a high number of conserved copies in eukaryote genomes. An accurate identification ...
    • Regulatory mechanisms behind the phenotypic plasticity associated with Setaria italica water deficit tolerance 

      Suguiyama, Vanessa Fuentes; Rodriguez, Jae Diana Paredes; Santos, Tatiane Cristina Nicomedio dos; Lira, Bruno Silvestre; de Haro, Luis Alejandro; Silva, João Paulo Naldi; Borba, Eduardo Leite; Purgatto, Eduardo; Silva, Emerson Alves da; Bellora Pereyra, Nicolás; Carrari, Fernando; Centeno, Danilo da Cruz; Bermudez Salazar, Luisa; Rossi, Magdalena; de Setta, Nathalia (Springer, 2022-05)
      Drought is one of the main environmental stresses that negatively impacts vegetative and reproductive yield. Water deficit responses are determined by the duration and intensity of the stress, which, together with plant ...
    • Short‐term hybridisation activates Tnt1 and Tto1 Copia retrotransposons in wild tuber‐bearing Solanum species 

      Paz, Rosalia Cristina; Rendina González, Alejandra Pilar; Ferrer, M.S.; Masuelli, Ricardo Williams (2015-07)
      Interspecific hybridisation in tuber‐bearing species of Solanum is a common phenomenon and represents an important source of variability, crucial for adaptation and speciation of potato species. In this regard, the effects ...
