Transgene escape and persistence in an agroecosystem: the case of glyphosate-resistant Brassica rapa L. in central Argentina
(2018-03)
Brassica rapa L. is an annual Brassicaceae species cultivated for oil and food production, whose wild form is a weed of crops worldwide. In temperate regions of South America and especially in the Argentine Pampas region, ...
The roles of light and pericarp on seed dormancy and germination in feral Raphanus sativus (Brassicaceae)
(Wiley, 2019-08-19)
The timing of seed germination may determine the success of a weed species in an agroecosystem, and its expression is modulated by environmental conditions, but also by seed physiology and anatomy. The aims of this study ...
The Reduction of Methane Production in the In Vitro Ruminal Fermentation of Different Substrates is Linked with the Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil
(MDPI, 2020-05-01)
There is interest in identifying natural products capable of manipulating rumen microbial activity to develop new feed additives for ruminant nutrition as a strategy to reduce methane. Two trials were performed using the ...
3-Nitrooxypropanol substantially decreased enteric methane emissions of dairy cows fed true protein- or urea-containing diets
(Elsevier, 2022-06-16)
Methane is a potent but short-lived greenhouse gas targeted for short-term amelioration of climate change, with enteric methane emitted by ruminants being the most important anthropogenic source of methane. Ruminant ...
Analysis of preharvest meteorological conditions in relation to concentration of fumonisins in kernels of two genetically different maize hybrids
(Springer, 2020-11-01)
The effects of meteorological conditions around silking (Si) and physiological maturity (PM) on production of fumonisins (FB=FB1 + FB2) in maize kernels were analyzed. Kernel FB contents were determined on kernel samples ...
Perspectives – Academic career in ecology: Effect of gender, caregiving labor, and the working environment
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
True meritocracy is only fair when a leveled playing field is guaranteed. Scientists with caregiving responsibilities, often women, carry a heavy burden of unpaid labour, and therefore suffer downfalls in performance. ...
Halo-hydromorphism alters nitrogen fertilization responses of tall wheatgrass pastures: Capture and use of resources, tiller dynamics and forage production
(Wiley, 2024-03)
Halo-hydromorphism limits productivity in approximately 100 million hectares worldwide. Tall wheatgrass (Thinopyrum ponticum) is a species widely used in these environments for its seeding potential, being the addition of ...
Effects of livestock on the quality of the riparian forest, soil and water in Nothofagus silvopastoral systems
(Springer Nature, 2024-04-03)
Controversial aspects of production vs.conservation were profusely discussed globally by considering climate change and its impact on ecosystem services provision. However, previous meticulous livestock planning and short ...
Evaluation of Trichopria anastrephae performance as parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii and Zaprionus indianus, under controlled laboratory conditions
(Wiley, 2024-03)
Native parasitoids are potential tools for the biological control of invasive exotic pests, such as the frugivorous flies spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, and African fig fly, Zaprionus indianus Gupta ...
Direct and indirect host-related volatile compounds attract a fruit fly parasitoid, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Wiley, 2024-02)
Fruit fly pests (Diptera: Tephritidae) are a serious problem for fruit production and for local and international trade. Biological control is increasingly included as a pest control tool within integrated pest management ...
