Absence of the nitrous oxide reductase gene cluster in commercial alfalfa inoculants is probably due to the extensive loss of genes during rhizobial domestication
(Springer, 2018-08)As other legume crops, alfalfa cultivation increases the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Since legumesymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria play a crucial role in this emission, it is important to understand ... -
Diversity and distribution of lepidoptera-specific toxin genes in Bacillus thuringiensis strains from Argentina
(2017-05)A total of 268 Bacillus thuringiensis strains obtained from different sources of Argentina were analyzed to determine the diversity and distribution of the cry1, cry2, cry8, cry9 and vip3A genes encoding for lepidopteran-specific ... -
Draft genome sequence of Mycobacterium bovis 04-303, a highly virulent strain from Argentina
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-11)Mycobacterium bovis strain 04-303 was isolated from a wild boar living in a free-ranging field in Argentina. This work reports the draft genome sequence of this highly virulent strain and the genomic comparison of its major ... -
Editorial : Plant transformation
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)Plant transformation provides a key tool for much basic research, such as the study of gene functions and interactions, protein–protein interactions, developmental processes, as well as applications for crop improvement ... -
Effects of deletion of the ac109 gene of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus on interactions with mammalian cells
(2017-03)Baculoviruses are able to enter into mammalian cells, where they can express a transgene that is placed under an appropriate promoter, without producing infectious progeny. ORF109 encodes an essential baculovirus protein ... -
Evidence of a fixed internal gene constellation in influenza A viruses isolated from wild birds in Argentina (2006–2016)
(Springer Nature, 2018)Wild aquatic birds are the major reservoir of influenza A virus. Cloacal swabs and feces samples (n = 6595) were collected from 62 bird species in Argentina from 2006 to 2016 and screened for influenza A virus. Full genome ... -
Genetic analysis of the 3′ untranslated region of the bovine SLC11A1 gene reveals novel polymorphisms
(Springer, 2013-01)Polymorphisms in microsatellites at the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of the SLC11A1 (solute carrier family 11 member A1) gene have been associated with natural resistance to Brucella abortus and Mycobacterium bovis ... -
Identificación de genes codificantes de enzimas de interés industrial en una cepa de bacteria termofílica aislada de aguas termales de Salta (Argentina)
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2014-04)Se aislaron dos bacterias termofílicas a partir de aguas termales de la provincia de Salta, Argentina. Estudios filogenéticos permitieron caracterizar los aislamientos como pertenecientes a los géneros Thermus y Geobacillus. ... -
Identificación de variantes alélicas de genes candidatos involucrados en producción de leche en un rodeo de bovinos de raza Holando y cruzas Holando por Jersey
(Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2015-07)Las razas bovinas Holando y Jersey son dos de las razas productoras de leche más importantes a nivel mundial y las principales en nuestro país. El objetivo del trabajo de tesis fue realizar un análisis exploratorio que ... -
Incomplete sterols and hopanoids pathways in ciliates: Gene loss and acquisition during evolution as a source of biosynthetic genes
(Elsevier, 2014-05)Polycyclic triterpenoids, such as sterols and hopanoids, are essential components of plasmatic membrane in eukaryotic organisms. Although it is generally assumed that ciliates do not synthesize sterols, and many of them ... -
Mapping a gene on wheat chromosome 4BL involved in a complementary interaction with adult plant leaf rust resistance gene LrSV2
(Springer, 2018-08)A complementary gene to LrSV2 for specific adult plant leaf rust resistance in wheat was mapped on chromosome 4BL, tightly linked to Lr12 / 31. LrSV2 is a race-specific adult plant leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) resistance ... -
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 ... -
Plant growth-promoting genes can switch to be virulence factors via horizontal gene transfer
(Springer, 2018-10)There are increasing evidences that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a critical mechanism of bacterial evolution, while its complete impact remains unclear. A main constraint of HGT effects on microbial evolution seems ... -
Research gaps and new insights in the evolution of Drosophila seminal fluid proteins
(Wiley, 2021-11)While the striking effects of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) on females are fairly conserved among Diptera, most SFPs lack detectable homologues among the SFP repertoires of phylogenetically distant species. How such a ... -
The rpl23 gene and pseudogene are hotspots of illegitimate recombination in barley chloroplast mutator seedlings
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-07)Previously, through a TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes) approach applied on barley chloroplast mutator (cpm) seedlings a high frequency of polymorphisms in the rpl23 gene was detected. All the polymorphisms ... -
Single nucleotide polymorphisms from candidate genes associated with nematode resistance and resilience in Corriedale and Pampinta sheep in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2021-02)Selective breeding of genetically resistant animals is considered a promising strategy to face the problem of nematode resistance to anthelmintics and mitigate concerns about the presence of chemical residues in animal ... -
