State of the art of genetic engineering in potato: from the first report to its future potential
(Frontiers Media, 2022-01)Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a crop of world importance that produces tubers of high nutritional quality. It is considered one of the promising crops to overcome the challenges of poverty and hunger worldwide. However, ... -
Structural and molecular dynamics investigations of ligand stabilization via secondary binding site interactions in Paenibacillus xylanivorans GH11 xylanase
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are essential for plant biomass deconstruction. GH11 family consist of endo-β-1,4-xylanases which hydrolyze xylan, the second most abundant cell wall biopolymer after cellulose, into small ... -
Study of coinfection with local strains of infectious bursal disease virus and infectious bronchitis virus in specific pathogen-free chickens
(Elsevier, 2023-12)Immunosuppressive diseases cause great losses in the poultry industry, increasing the susceptibility to infections by other pathogens and promoting a suboptimal response to vaccination. Among them, infectious bursal disease ... -
Study of the in vivo role of Mce2R, the transcriptional regulator of mce2 operon in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(BMC, 2013-09)Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality throughout the world. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the agent of human tuberculosis, has developed strategies involving proteins and other compounds called ... -
Subfunctionalization probably drives the emergence of plant growth‑promoting genes
(Springer, 2022-07)The duplication and divergence of stress-related genes might help microbes adapt to different environments. However, little is known about this type of subfunctionalization process in microbes. We here examined the evolution ... -
Successful production of the potato antimicrobial peptide Snakin-1 in baculovirus-infected insect cells and development of specific antibodies
(2017)Background: Snakin-1 (StSN1) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial cysteine-rich peptide isolated from Solanum tuberosum. Its biotechnological potential has been already recognized since it exhibits in vivo antifungal and ... -
Sunflower germin-like protein HaGLP1 promotes ROS accumulation and enhances protection against fungal pathogens in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana
(Springer, 2015-10)Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are a large, diverse and ubiquitous family of plant glycoproteins belonging to the Cupin super family. These proteins have been widely studied because of their diverse roles in important plant ... -
Sunflower leaf senescence : a complex genetic process with economic impact on crop production
(2017)Leaf senescence is a complex process controlled by multiple genetic and environmental variables. In different crops, a delay in leaf senescence has an important impact on grain yield trough the maintenance of the photosynthetic ... -
Sunflower: a potential fructan-bearing crop?
(2015-10)Grain filling in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) mainly depends on actual photosynthesis, being the contribution of stored reserves in stems (sucrose, hexoses, and starch) rather low. Drought periods during grain filling ... -
Sunpheno : a deep neural network for phenological classification of sunflower images
(MDPI, 2024-07)Leaf senescence is a complex trait which becomes crucial for grain filling because photoassimilates are translocated to the seeds. Therefore, a correct sync between leaf senescence and phenological stages is necessary to ... -
Surface Display of AcMNPV Occlusion-Derived P74 Does Not Enhance Oral Infectivity of Budded Viruses
(S. Karger AG, 2012-02)Baculovirus occlusion-derived viruses (ODVs) and budded viruses (BVs) are morphologically and functionally distinct. ODVs are responsible for primary infection in insect hosts because of their high per os infectivity. On ... -
Surveillance and characterization of drug‑resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated in a reference hospital from Argentina during 8 years’ period
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019-09)Background: Argentina is considered a country with a middle tuberculosis (TB) incidence. However, according to the last national epidemiological report released in 2018, since 2013, the trends are steadily increasing. The ... -
Symbionts do not affect the mating incompatibility between the Brazilian-1 and Peruvian morphotypes of the Anastrepha fraterculus cryptic species complex
(Springer Nature, 2019-12)The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus, is clearly undergoing a speciation process. Among others, two of their morphotypes, the Brazilian-1 and Peruvian, have accumulated differences in pre- and post-zygotic ... -
Synergic activity of Cel8Pa β-1,4 endoglucanase and Bg1Pa β-glucosidase from Paenibacillus xylanivorans A59 in beta-glucan conversio
(Elsevier, 2020-12)In the efficient bioconversion of polysaccharides from lignocellulosic biomass, endoglucanases and β-glucosidases are key enzymes for the deconstruction of β-glucans. In this work, we focused on a GH8 endoglucanase ... -
Systemic administration of imiquimod as an adjuvant improves immunogenicity of a tumor-lysate vaccine inducing the rejection of a highly aggressive T-cell lymphoma
(Elsevier, 2019-06)T-cell lymphomas include diverse malignancies. They are rare, some have low survival rates and they lack curative therapies. The aim of this work was to assess whether employing the TLR7 agonist imiquimod and the T-cell ... -
The ALS gene as genetic target in CRISPR/ cas approaches: what have we learned so far?
(Crimson Publishers, 2020-08)Specific mutations in the conserved domains of the acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene conduct to different key amino acid substitutions that can confer herbicide resistance in different plant species. This outcome has been ... -
