Aislamiento y caracterización de regiones promotoras de girasol para dirigir la expresión tejido específica de genes foráneos a semilla
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2014-04)Desde el inicio de la utilización de variedades transgénicas, la superficie agrobiotecnológica ha aumentado exponencialmente, con un incremento del orden de 80 veces en solo 14 años, y su uso se ha expandido a más de veinte ... -
Análisis funcional de Snakin - 1 en plantas transgénicas de Solanum tuberosum
(Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2015-04)Snakin-1 (SN1)es un péptido antimicrobiano rico en cisteínas aislado a partir de Solanum tuberosum que fue clasificado como miembro de la familia Snakin/GASA. Con el objetivo de estudiar el rol de SN1 in planta, se realizó ... -
Citrus genetic transformation: an overview of the current strategies and insights on the new emerging technologies
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11)Citrus are among the most prevailing fruit crops produced worldwide. The implementation of effective and reliable breeding programs is essential for coping with the increasing demands of satisfactory yield and quality of ... -
Developments in plant-based vaccines against diseases of concern in developing countries
(BENTHAM Open, 2010)Vaccination has been extensively used to prevent, eradicate and control infectious diseases. However, the development and implementation of new vaccines remains prohibitively expensive for middle and low income countries where ... -
Efficacy of a BVDV subunit vaccine produced in alfalfa transgenic plants
(Elsevier, 2013-02-15)Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is considered an important cause of economic loss within bovine herds worldwide. In Argentina, only the use of inactivated vaccines is allowed, however, the efficacy of inactivated BVDV ... -
Functional characterization and intracellular localization of a Lotus tenuis NHX antiporter
(Springer, 2021-05)Lotus tenuis is a perennial forage legume widely scattered in the flooding Pampa region of Argentina. Even when it is considered a salt-tolerant species, the molecular basis underlying this trait still remains unknown. ... -
High-quality forage production under salinity by using a salt-tolerant AtNXH1-expressing transgenic alfalfa combined with a natural stress-resistant nitrogen-fixing bacterium
(Elsevier, 2018-06)Alfalfa, usually known as the “Queen of Forages”, is the main source of vegetable protein to meat and milk production systems worldwide. This legume is extremely rich in proteins due to its highly efficient symbiotic ... -
Isolation and characterization of the tissue and development-specific potato snakin-1 promoter inducible by temperature and wounding
(Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso, 2010-09)Snakin-1 (StSN1) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide isolated from Solanum tuberosum. Homologous proteins have been identified in a wide range of species but there is no apparent consensus in the roles they play. A ... -
Minimizing the time and cost of production of transgenic alfalfa libraries using the highly efficient completely sequenced vector pPZP200BAR
(2016)Alfalfa is the most important forage legume worldwide. However, similar to other minor forage crops, it is usually harvested along with weeds, which decrease its nutrient quality and thus reduce its high value in the ... -
The overexpression of antifungal genes enhances resistance to rhizoctonia solani in transgenic potato plants without affecting arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
(Elsevier, 2019-10)The biological control of fungal diseases through the use of genetically modified (GM) plants could decrease the input of chemical pesticides. To overcome possible losses in potato (Solanum tuberosum) yield because of ... -
Overexpression of snakin-1 gene enhances resistance to Rhizoctonia solani and Erwinia carotovora in transgenic potato plants
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-05)Snakin‐1 (SN1), a cysteine‐rich peptide with broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity in vitro, was evaluated for its ability to confer resistance to pathogens in transgenic potatoes. Genetic variants of this gene were cloned ... -
pBAR–H3.2, a native-optimized binary vector to bypass transgene silencing in alfalfa
(Springer, 2020-03)Alfalfa is the main forage worldwide due to its high biomass production, excellent nutritional qualities and adaptation to a wide range of environments (Singer et al. 2018). Besides, due to its ability to grow without ... -
Simplified methodology for large scale isolation of homozygous transgenic lines of lettuce
(2018-01)Background: Lettuce is a globally important leafy vegetable and a model plant for biotechnology due to its adaptability to tissue culture and stable genetic transformation. Lettuce is also crucial for functional genomics ... -
Tomato Abscisic Acid Stress ripening (ASR) gene family revisited
(PLOS, 2014-10-13)Tomato ABSCISIC ACID RIPENING 1 (ASR1) was the first cloned plant ASR gene. ASR orthologs were then cloned from a large number of monocot, dicot and gymnosperm plants, where they are mostly involved in response to abiotic ... -
Virus infection elevates transcriptional activity of miR164a promoter in plants
(BioMed Central, 2009-12)Background: Micro RNAs (miRs) constitute a large group of endogenous small RNAs that have crucial roles in many important plant functions. Virus infection and transgenic expression of viral proteins alter accumulation and ...
