• Neuronal network analyses reveal novel associations between volatile organic compounds and sensory properties of tomato fruits 

      Cortina, Pablo Ramiro; Santiago, Ana N.; Sance, María M.; Peralta, Iris Edith; Carrari, Fernando; Asis, Ramón (Springer, 2018-05)
      Introduction The process of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) breeding has affected negatively the fruit organoleptic properties and this is evident when comparing modern cultivars with heirloom varieties. Flavor of tomato ...
    • Phytochrome-dependent temperature perception modulates isoprenoid metabolism 

      Bianchetti, Ricardo; De Luca, Belen; De Haro, Luis Alejandro; Rosado, Daniele; Demarco, Diego; Conte, Mariana; Bermudez Salazar, Luisa; Freschi, Luciano; Fernie, Alisdair R.; Michaelson, Louise V.; Haslam, Richard P.; Rossi, Magdalena; Carrari, Fernando (American Society of Plant Biologists, 2020-07)
      Changes in environmental temperature influence many aspects of plant metabolism; however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. In addition to their role in light perception, phytochromes (PHYs) ...
    • The conserved brassinosteroid-related transcription factor BIM1a negatively regulates fruit growth in tomato 

      Mori, Kentaro; Lemaire-Chamley, Martine; Jorly, Joana; Carrari, Fernando; Conte, Mariana; Asamizu, Erika; Mizoguchi, Tsuyoshi; Ezura, Hiroshi; Rothan, Christophe (Oxford University Press, 2021-02)
      Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that play key roles in plant development and defense. Our goal is to harness the extensive knowledge of the Arabidopsis BR signaling network to improve productivity in crop ...
    • The cytosolic invertase NI6 affects vegetative growth, flowering, fruit set, and yield in tomato 

      Coluccio Leskow, Carla; Conte, Mariana; del Pozo, Talía; Bermudez Salazar, Luisa; Lira, Bruno Silvestre; Gramegna, Giovanna; Baroli, Irene; Burgos, Estanislao; Zavallo, Diego; Kamenetzky, Laura; Asis, Ramón; Gonzalez, Maurıcio; Fernie, Alisdair R.; Rossi, Magdalena; Osorio, Sonia; Carrari, Fernando (Oxford University Press, 2021-03)
      Sucrose metabolism is important for most plants, both as the main source of carbon and via signaling mechanisms that have been proposed for this molecule. A cleaving enzyme, invertase (INV) channels sucrose into sink ...
    • Tomato apical leaf curl virus: a novel, monopartite geminivirus detected in tomatoes in Argentina 

      Vaghi Medina, Carlos Gaston; Teppa, Elin; Bornancini, Veronica Andrea; Flores, Ceferino Rene; Marino Buslje, Cristina; Lopez Lambertini, Paola Maria (2018-01)
      Plant viruses that are members of the Geminiviridae family have circular single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome and are responsible for major crop diseases worldwide. We have identified and characterized a novel monopartite ...
