Cassava common mosaic virus infection causes alterations in chloroplast ultrastructure, function and carbohydrate metabolism of cassava plants
(Wiley, 2021-01)Cassava common mosaic virus (CsCMV) is a potexvirus that causes systemic infections in cassava plants, leading to chlorotic mosaic and producing significant yield losses. To date, the physiological alterations and the ... -
Cell remodeling and subtilase gene expression in the actinorhizal plant Discaria trinervis highlight host orchestration of intercellular Frankia colonization
(2018-08)Nitrogen‐fixing filamentous Frankia colonize the root tissues of its actinorhizal host Discaria trinervis via an exclusively intercellular pathway. Here we present studies aimed at uncovering mechanisms associated with ... -
Changes in the relationship between temperature during the seed‐filling period and soya bean seed isoflavones under water‐deficit conditions
(Blackwell, 2016-12)Isoflavones have been shown to have health‐promoting activities in humans and are particularly abundant in soya bean. This study was conducted to determine how water deficit during seed fill affects the already known ... -
Contrasting adaptive responses to cope with drought stress and recovery in Cenchrus ciliaris L. and their implications for tissue lignification
(Wiley, 2020-11-12)Cenchrus ciliaris L. is a widely used species for cattle feed in arid and semi-arid regions due to good forage value and known tolerance to drought conditions. Here, we provide insights to adaptive responses of two contrasting ... -
Convergent Epigenetic Mechanisms Avoid Constitutive Expression of Immune Receptor Gene Subsets
(Frontiers Media, 2021-09-07)The gene pool encoding PRR and NLR immune receptors determines the ability of a plant to resist microbial infections. Basal expression of these genes is prevented by diverse mechanisms since their hyperactivity can be ... -
Cytogenetic evidence of hybridization in Prosopis alba, P. hassleri, and P. fiebrigii in the semiarid-humid Chaco transition
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-06-06)Hybridization is a common and widespread phenomenon in vascular plants, leading to genetic exchange between related species. Interspecific hybridization has been extensively reported in Prosopis, a key genus of the Gran ... -
Day length modulates precocity and productivity through its effect on developmental rate in Origanum vulgare ssp.
(Elsevier, 2017-04)In Origanum spp. knowledge about mechanisms controlling development and growth in response to environmental factors such as temperature and photoperiod, is critical to improve management practices and varietal selection ... -
Decreased reactive oxygen species concentration in the elongation zone contributes to the reduction in maize leaf growth under salinity
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2004-06)Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the apoplast of cells in the growing zone of grass leaves are required for elongation growth. This work evaluates whether salinity‐induced reductions in leaf elongation are related to altered ... -
Differential characteristics of photochemical acclimation to cold in two contrasting sweet sorghum hybrids
(Wiley; Scandinavian Plant Physiology Society, 2016-08)Sweet sorghum has a photosynthetic system which is highly sensitive to cold stress and hence strongly limits its development in temperate environments; therefore, the identification of key exploitable cold tolerance traits ... -
Differential response of Trichloris ecotypes from different habitats to drought and salt stress
(Springer, 2020-08-05)Native plant genetic resources have evolved from long processes of natural selection and adaptation to specific environments, and have developed tolerance to various stresses prevailing in their natural habitats via adaptive ... -
Differential salt-stress response during germination and vegetative growth in in vitro selected somaclonal mutants of Cenchrus ciliaris L.
(2013-07)Four somaclonal mutants (S1, S4, S6 and M10) and their parental Cenchrus ciliaris L. cultivar Biloela were characterized under salinity conditions at germination and vegetative growth stages. Seeds of all somaclonal mutants ... -
Diversidad e infectividad de hongos micorrícicos arbusculares nativos provenientes de algarrobales del Parque Chaqueño argentino con características edafoclimáticas contrastantes
(Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2018)En ambientes severos, la presencia de hongos micorrícicos arbusculares (HMA) es clave para la supervivencia de las plantas y el balance ecosistémico. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar los hongos micorrícicos ... -
Diversity and stress tolerance in rhizobia from Parque Chaqueño region of Argentina nodulating Prosopis alba
(Springer, 2013-11)The aim of this work was to investigate the genetic diversity, symbiotic effectiveness, drought tolerance, and indole acetic acid production of indigenous rhizobial populations in the Parque Chaqueño of Argentina able to ... -
Drought controls on H2O2 accumulation, catalase (CAT) activity and CAT gene expression in wheat
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2005-01)Plants co-ordinate information derived from many diverse external and internal signals to ensure appropriate control of gene expression under optimal and stress conditions. In this work, the relationships between catalase ... -
Drought induces distinct growth response, protection, and recovery mechanisms in the maize leaf growth zone
(2015-10)Drought is the most important crop yield-limiting factor, and detailed knowledge of its impact on plant growth regulation is crucial. The maize (Zea mays) leaf growth zone offers unique possibilities for studying the ... -
Drought stress tolerance of Prosopis chilensis and Prosopis flexuosa species and their hybrids
(Springer, 2013-02)Natural hybridization commonly produces individuals with intermediate morphological and genetic characteristics, but their response to environmental stress is still uncertain, with some studies showing that transgressive ... -
Early responses to Fe-deficiency distinguish Sorghum bicolor genotypes with contrasting alkalinity tolerance
