Genetic Stability of Sexing Strains Based on the Locus swof Ceratitis Capitata
(Springer, 2002-09)This report deals with the process of improving the stability of medfly, Ceratitis capitata, genetic sexing strains (GSS) based on the swmutation on chromosome 2. This gene affects the rate of development as well as the ... -
Male–female separation with a genetic sexing strain of Medfly, Ceratitis capitata, based on the gene sw (slow)
(lsteg Scientific Publications, 2004)The rate of development of the Medfly, Ceratitis capitata, slows down in the presence of mutation slow, sw. Separation of fast-developing males from slow-developing females is possible when this locus on chromosome 2 is ... -
Caracterización molecular de mutantes derivadas del genotipo mutador de cloroplastos de cebada
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2008)La coordinación de la expresión génica entre los genomas nuclear, plastídico y mitocondrial es de importancia crucial para las células vegetales. Un caso particular de la interacción núcleo-plástido está dado por los genes ... -
Adh1 first intron polymorphisms in Argentinean populations of Ceratitis capitata
(2010-07)DNA size polymorphisms were utilized in a study of 24 natural populations of Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) from Argentina. The first intron of alcohol dehydrogenase 1 gene (Adh1) was amplified using ... -
Genética y citogenética de la determinación del sexo en Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2011)El parasitoide bracónido Diachasmimorpha longicaudata es ampliamente utilizado como controlador biológico de moscas de los frutos; sin embargo, es escaso el conocimiento disponible sobre su genética. A fin de aportar ... -
Caracterización taxonómica y análisis de la variabilidad del agente causal del cancro del tallo de la soja en Buenos Aires (2005/2007)
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2011-12)El complejo Diaporthe/Phomopsis es un importante grupo de hongos patógenos de la soja. Dentro del mismo, Diaporthe phaseolorum var. caulivora es uno de los agentes causales del cancro del tallo. Veintitrés aislamientos de ... -
Response of the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata to host and host‐habitat volatile cues
(Wiley, 2012-05)Chemical information is crucial to insect parasitoids for successful host location. Here, we evaluated the innate response of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a fruit fly larval parasitoid, ... -
Genetic diversity in a world germplasm collection of tall fescue
(2013)Festuca arundinacea Schreb., commonly known as tall fescue, is a major forage crop in temperate regions. Recently, a molecular analysis of different accessions of a world germplasm collection of tall fescue has demonstrated ... -
Precocious sexual signalling and mating in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) sterile males achieved through juvenile hormone treatment and protein supplements
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-02)Sexual maturation of Anastrepha fraterculus is a long process. Methoprene (a mimic of juvenile hormone) considerably reduces the time for sexual maturation in males. However, in other Anastrepha species, this effect depends ... -
Silencing of the glutathione biosynthetic pathway inhibits somatic embryogenesis in wheat
(Springer, 2013-02)Somatic embryogenesis in scutella of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a well documented phenomenon and it has been shown through transcriptome analysis that genes involved in antioxidant responses, particularly in glutathione ... -
Engineering Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 for nitrogen fixation and its application to improve plant growth under nitrogen-deficient conditions
(2013-05-13)Nitrogen is the second most critical factor for crop production after water. In this study, the beneficial rhizobacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 was genetically modified to fix nitrogen using the genes encoding the ... -
Remating behavior in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) females is affected by male juvenile hormone analog treatment but not by male sterilization
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-06)The sterile insect technique (SIT) has been proposed as an area-wide method to control the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann). This technique requires sterilization, a procedure that affects, along ... -
Identificación de cultivares de trébol blanco (trifolium repens l.) mediante SSR
(Sociedad Argentina de Genética, 2013-07)El trébol blanco (Trifolium repens L) es una leguminosa forrajera de gran valor nutritivo y muy eficiente en la incorporación de nitrógeno (N) al suelo mediante fijación simbiótica. En Argentina se ha difundido ampliamente ... -
Cytogenetic characterization of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a parasitoid wasp used as a biological control agent
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2013-07)Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a parasitoid wasp widely used in the biological control of fruit flies. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the karyotype of this species based on the ... -
Exploring the Intrinsic Limits of Nitrogenase Transfer from Bacteria to Eukaryotes
(Springer, 2013-08)Biological nitrogen fixation is widespread among the Eubacteria and Archae domains but completely absent in eukaryotes. The lack of lateral transfer of nitrogen-fixation genes from prokaryotes to eukaryotes has been partially ... -
Evolution of pre‐zygotic and post‐zygotic barriers to gene flow among three cryptic species within the Anastrepha fraterculus complex
(Wiley, 2013-09)Tropical tephritids are ideally suited for studies on population divergence and speciation because they include species groups undergoing rapid radiation, in which morphologically cryptic species and sister species are ... -
European research priorities in farm animal genomics
(University of Zagreb, 2013-09)Production of safe and healthy high quality food for human population, preservation of stable rural social economic infrastructure and sustainable use of agricultural land and animal resources are important goals of European ... -
LOV‐domain photoreceptor, encoded in a genomic island, attenuates the virulence of Pseudomonas syringae in light‐exposed Arabidopsis leaves
(Wiley, 2013-10)In Arabidopsis thaliana, light signals modulate the defences against bacteria. Here we show that light perceived by the LOV domain‐regulated two‐component system (Pst–Lov) of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst ... -
