Characterization of two GH5 endoglucanases from termite microbiome using synthetic metagenomics
(Springer, 2020-08)Here, we characterize two novel GH5 endoglucanases (GH5CelA and GH5CelB) from an uncultured bacterium identified in termite gut microbiomes. Both genes were codon-optimized, synthetized, cloned, and expressed as recombinant ... -
Chemical characterization and quantification of the pigment extraction yield of seven mexican accessions of Bixa orellana = Caracterización química y cuantificación del rendimiento de extracción de pigmento en siete accesiones mexicanas de Bixa orellana
(2016)Achiote (Bixa orellana) is a plant used for obtaining a natural dye rich on carotenoids (mainly bixin and norbixin); it is also the plant species with the highest content of tocotrienols in nature. In the present work, the ... -
Chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of tomato
(2016)This chapter summarizes the main features of the tomato plastid and mitochondrial genomes in the context of the current knowledge about “orthologue” genomes from other higher plants species in a historical perspective. ... -

Citrus genetic transformation: an overview of the current strategies and insights on the new emerging technologies
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11)Citrus are among the most prevailing fruit crops produced worldwide. The implementation of effective and reliable breeding programs is essential for coping with the increasing demands of satisfactory yield and quality of ... -
Citrus psorosis virus 24K protein interacts with citrus miRNA precursors, affects their processing and subsequent miRNA accumulation and target expression
(2016-04)Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), one of the most important fruit crops worldwide, may suffer from disease symptoms induced by virus infections, thus resulting in dramatic economic losses. Here, we show that the infection ... -
Clade 8 and clade 6 strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 from cattle in Argentina have Hypervirulent-Like phenotypes
(PLOS, 2015-06-01)The hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) whose main causative agent is enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a disease that mainly affects children under 5 years of age. Argentina is the country with the highest ... -
Closing the Gaps to Understand the Tick Transmission of Anaplasma marginale among Giant Anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) in Argentina
(MDPI, 2020-12)Anaplasma marginale, a well-known cattle pathogen of tropical and subtropical world regions, has been previously molecularly characterized in a giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) from Corrientes, Argentina. Ticks or ... -
Co-expression networks in sunflower : harnessing the power of multi-study transcriptomic public data to identify and categorize candidate genes for fungal resistance
(MDPI, 2023-08)Fungal plant diseases are a major threat to food security worldwide. Current efforts to identify and list loci involved in different biological processes are more complicated than originally thought, even when complete ... -
Comparative analysis of the midgut microbiota of two natural tick vectors of Rickettsia rickettsii
(Elsevier, 2020-05)Although the ticks Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma aureolatum are important vectors of Rickettsia rickettsii, causative agent of the life-threatening Rocky Mountain spotted fever, A. aureolatum is considerably more ... -
Comparison of homologous and heterologous prime-boost immunizations combining MVA-vectored and plant-derived VP2 as a strategy against IBDV
(2017-01)Different immunogens such as subunit, DNA or live viral-vectored vaccines against Infectious Bursal Disease virus (IBDV) have been evaluated in the last years. However, the heterologous prime-boost approach using recombinant ... -
Comparison of internal process control viruses for detection of food and waterborne viruses
(2017-05)Enteric viruses are pathogens associated with foodand waterborne outbreaks. The recovery of viruses from food or water samples is affected by the procedures applied to detect and concentrate them. The incorporation of an ... -
Comunidades bacterianas implicadas en sistemas de producción aviar : factores de modulación e intervenciones sustentables
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2021-10)Las comunidades bacterianas presentes en el tracto gastrointestinal (TGI) de las aves son de vital importancia ya que contribuyen a su sanidad y nutrición. Además, cobran relevancia dado que las mismas pueden ser transferidas ... -
Contrasting metabolic profiles of tasty Andean varieties of tomato fruit in comparison with commercial ones
(Wiley, 2018-08)BACKGROUND The fruits of most commercial tomato cultivars (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are deficient in flavour. In contrast, traditional ‘criollo’ tomato varieties are appreciated for fruit of excellent organoleptic quality. ... -
Coupling virus-induced gene silencing to exogenous green fluorescence protein expression provides a highly efficient system for functional genomics in arabidopsis and across all stages of tomato fruit development
(2011-07)Since the advent of the postgenomic era, efforts have focused on the development of rapid strategies for annotating plant genes of unknown function. Given its simplicity and rapidity, virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) ... -
