      Brambilla, Silvina Maricel; Liebrenz, Karen Ivana; Odorizzi, Ariel; Arolfo, Valeria; Maguire, Vanina Giselle; Moreno, Maria Valeria; Ruiz, Oscar Adolfo; Stritzler, Margarita; Serantes, Maria Laura; Soto, Gabriela Cynthia; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel (Springer, 2024-07-05)
      Alfalfa plays a crucial role in agriculture due to its nitrogen-fixing partnership with rhizobia, resulting in nutritious forage. While the potential parasitic action of inefficient rhizobia has been extensively studied, ...
    • Spontaneous Mutations in the Nitrate Reductase Gene napC Drive the Emergence of Eco-friendly Low-N2O-Emitting Alfalfa Rhizobia in Regions with Different Climates 

      Brambilla, Silvina Maricel; Soto, Gabriela; Odorizzi, Ariel; Arolfo, Valeria; McCormick, Wayne; Primo, Emiliano; Giordano, Walter; Jozefkowicz, Cintia; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel (Springer, 2020)
      We have recently shown that commercial alfalfa inoculants (e.g., Sinorhizobium meliloti B399), which are closely related to the denitrifier model strain Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021, have conserved nitrate, nitrite, and ...
    • The Gln15Arg mutation in the transcriptional factor PALM1 produces multifoliate alfalfa
