A genome-wide association study unveils key chromosome regions involved in determining sodium accumulation in wheat under conditions of low potassium supply
(Elsevier, 2022-05-30)Improving nutrient use efficiency is an important objective in modern breeding programs. In this work, we examined potassium utilization efficiency (KUtE) and traits potentially related to it in a formerly genotyped, ... -
A glimpse into the DNA virome of the unique “living fossil” Welwitschia mirabilis
(Elsevier, 2022-08-10)Here, we report the identification and characterization of four novel DNA viruses from Welwitschia mirabilis transcriptomic and genomic datasets. Complete circular virus-like sequences with affinity to members of ... -
A hard-to-keep promise: Vegetation use and aboveground carbon storage in silvopastures of the Dry Chaco
(Elsevier, 2020-11-01)In dry woodland regions, silvopastures have emerged as a promising option to balance cattle production, carbon storage and biodiversity. However, one of the major challenges in these systems, particularly when implemented ... -
A land cover map of Latin America and the Caribbean in the framework of the SERENA project
(Elsevier, 2013-05-15)Land cover maps at different resolutions and mapping extents contribute to modeling and support decision making processes. Because land cover affects and is affected by climate change, it is listed among the 13 terrestrial ... -
A look at polyploidy and plant breeding
(Heighten Science Publications, 2022-11)Polyploidization is a process that generates genetic variability and therefore one of the engines of biological evolution. Since polyploidization produces important changes in the phenotype, mainly an increase in the size ... -
A method for semi-field rearing of Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) to obtain mites of controlled age and specific life cycle
(Les Amis d'Acarologia, 2023-03)Varroa destructor is one of the most devastating ectoparasites of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, worldwide. Given that V. destructor has very low survivability and exhibits no successful reproduction away from their natural ... -
A multi-criteria assessment for native forest policy analysis: the case of Caldén forest in the province of Córdoba, Argentina
(Springer Nature, 2020-06)The objective of this work is to develop a discrete multi-criteria model to evaluate dif-ferent Argentina. The application of the PROMETHEE multi-criteria method integrates a private cost–benefit analysis that describes ... -
A multi-resolution approach to national-scale cultivated area estimation of soybean
(2017-06)Satellite remote sensing data can provide timely, accurate, and objective information on cultivated area by crop type and, in turn, facilitate accurate estimates of crop production. Here, we present a generic multi-resolution ... -
A multivariate approach for mapping a soil quality index and its uncertainty in southern France
(Wiley, 2023-03)Pedometricians have spent a lot of effort on mapping soil types and basic soil properties. However, end-users typically need a more elaborate soil quality index for land management. Soil quality indices are typically derived ... -
A N7-guanine RNA cap methyltransferase signature-sequence as a genetic marker of large genome, non-mammalian Tobaniviridae
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-12-19)The order Nidovirales is a diverse group of (+) RNA viruses, classified together based on their common genome organisation and conserved replicative enzymes, despite drastic differences in size and complexity. One such ... -
A new cage-like particle adjuvant enhances protection of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07)Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is an acute viral disease that causes important economy losses. Vaccines with new low-cost adjuvants that stimulate protective immune responses are needed and can be assayed in a mouse model ... -
A new gnotobiotic pig model of P[6] human rotavirus infection and disease for preclinical evaluation of rotavirus vaccines
(MDPI, 2022-12)Human rotavirus (HRV) is a leading cause of gastroenteritis in children under 5 years of age. Licensed vaccines containing G1P[8] and G1-4P[8] strains are less efficacious against newly emerging P[6] strains, indicating ... -
A new molecular method for the rapid subtyping of bovine herpesvirus 1 field isolates
(Sage Publications, 2020-02)Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) causes several clinical syndromes in cattle worldwide. There are 3 subtypes of BoHV-1: 1.1, 1.2a, and 1.2b. Several molecular methods are commonly used in the detection and characterization ... -
A new passive immune strategy based on IgY antibodies as a key element to control neonatal calf diarrhea in dairy farms
(BMC, 2020-07)Background: Neonatal diarrhea remains one of the main causes of morbi-mortality in dairy calves under artificial rearing. It is often caused by infectious agents of viral, bacterial, or parasitic origin. Cows vaccination ... -
