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 ... -
Auto-incompatibilidad de acción tardía e hibridación interespecífica en el género Tabebuia A.I. Gomes ex DC (Bignoniaceae): estudios relacionados con el desarrollo reproductivo
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2007)El objetivo general de esta tesis fue el estudio de los mecanismos de autoincompatibilidad y compatibilidad interespecífica en el género Tabebuia. Principales resultados y conclusiones: Se comprobó la existencia de un ... -
Belleza multiplicada: La poliploidía en el mejoramiento de ornamentales de passiflora y salvia
(Instituto de Floricultura, INTA; Agencia de Cooperación Internacional del Japón (JICA), 2023)Alo largo de la historia evolutiva de nuestro planeta, han ocurrido innumerables modificaciones en las plantas. Algunos de esos sucesos naturales, produjeron la extinción de especies y otros, contribuyeron a la selección ... -
Carotenoids gene markers for sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam): applications in genetic mapping, diversity evaluation and cross‑species transference
(Springer, 2014-04)Carotenoids play essential biological roles in plants, and genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway are evolutionarily conserved. Orange sweetpotato is an important source of β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin ... -
Chromosome studies in southern species of Mimosa (Fabaceae, Mimosoideae) and their taxonomic and evolutionary inferences
(2014-05)In this work, chromosome numbers and karyotype parameters of 36 taxa of the genus Mimosa were studied, especially from the southern South America center of diversification. Results support that x = 13 is the basic chromosome ... -
Cytogeography and morphological characterisation of a taxonomic, polyploid complex of Mimosa (Leguminosae) from subtropical South America
(CSIRO Publishing, 2018)Mimosa subseries Dolentes Barneby and Brevipedes Barneby are ecologically and morphologically high-diversified infrageneric taxa of this genus in southern South America. We performed a cytogenetical and morphological ... -
Deep cytogenetics analysis reveals meiotic recombination depletion in species of Senecio (Asteraceae)
(Springer Open, 2013-08)Background: Senecio is the largest genus in the Asteraceae family growing in all environments around the world. It displays taxonomic and systematical difficulties. Cytogenetic knowledge of this genus is ancient, scarce ... -
Effect of polyploidization in the production of essential oils in Lippia integrifolia
(2016-03)Consumption of medicinal and aromatic plants is widespread and increasing worldwide. Yet, harvesting from the wild, the main source of raw material in developing countries, is causing loss of genetic diversity and habitat ... -
Expanding the benefits of Tnt1 for the identification of dominant mutations in polyploid crops: A single allelic mutation in the MsNAC39 gene produces multifoliated alfalfa
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)Most major crops are polyploid species and the production of genetically engineered cultivars normally requires the introgression of transgenic or gene-edited traits into elite germplasm. Thus, a main goal of plant research ... -
A new polyploid species of Mecardonia (Gratioleae, Plantaginaceae) from South America
(2017-04)Mecardonia reneeae, a new species from northeastern Argentina, is described and illustrated. This taxon has certain resemblance to M. procumbens var. flagellaris, but can be easily distinguished by the combination of life ... -
Primeros estudios cariotípicos en Mimosa farinosa y M. velloziana (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae)
(Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste, 2015)Se presentan los primeros estudios de cariotipo en Mimosa farinosa y M. velloziana. Se cita por primera vez el número cromosómico de M. farinosa, 2n = 2x = 26 (Mimosa sección Batocaulon serie Farinosae) y se confirma el ... -
The “polyploid effect” in the breeding of aromatic and medicinal species
(Elsevier, 2020-01)The secondary metabolism of plants delivers a wide range of chemical structures with application for a vast array of activities, thus offering opportunities for social and economic development. Polyploidy is the possession ...
