Arabidopsis research in 2030: Translating the computable plant
(Wiley, 2025-03)Plants are essential for human survival. Over the past three decades, work with the reference plant Arabidopsis thaliana has significantly advanced plant biology research. One key event was the sequencing of its genome ... -
Shedding light on risk: Seroprevalence of Q fever among farm animals and workers in Ecuador
(Elsevier, 2024-12)Q fever, caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii, is a zoonotic disease that has been largely overlooked despite presenting significant risks to both animal and public health. Although well studied in some countries, in ... -
Ecophysiological and Molecular Analysis of Contrasting Genotypes for Leaf Senescence in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Under Differential Doses of N in Soil
(MDPI, 2024-12)Leaf senescence in plants is the last stage of leaf development and is characterized by a decline in photosynthetic activity, an active degeneration of cellular structures, and the recycling of accumulated nutrients to ... -
FhaA plays a key role in mycobacterial polar elongation and asymmetric growth
(American Society for Microbiology, 2025-03)Mycobacteria, including pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, exhibit unique growth patterns and cell envelope structures that challenge our understanding of bacterial physiology. This study sheds light on FhaA, a ... -
Comprehensive Analysis of the Influence of Technical and Biological Variations on De Novo Assembly of RNA-Seq Datasets
(Sage Publications, 2024-12)De novo assembly of transcriptomes from species without reference genome remains a common problem in functional genomics. While methods and algorithms for transcriptome assembly are continually being developed and published, ... -
A novel pathogenic DICER1 gene variant is associated with hereditary multinodular goiter in an Argentine family as evidenced by clinical, biochemical and molecular genetic analysis
(Springer, 2025-03)DICER1 syndrome is an autosomal-dominant disorder that results in malignant or benign tumors. A number of distinct pathogenic germline and somatic variants have been identified as causing multinodular goiter (MNG). The ... -
Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 impairs intracellular elastase mobilization and persists within human neutrophils
(Elsevier, 2025-03)Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) strains of sequence type (ST) 258 producing K. pneumoniae-carbapenemase (KPC) are a major cause of hospital-associated outbreaks and the main contributors of carbapenemase spreading. Here, we ... -
Performance of the PhoP (Rv0757/Mb0780) protein as diagnostic antigen for bovine tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2025-03)Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), a global zoonotic disease, causes negative effects on human and animal health. PhoP protein is a key regulator of pathogenic phenotypes in members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, which ... -
First report of grapevine Roditis leaf discoloration-associated virus infecting grapevine in Argentina
(Springer, 2025-01)Grapevine Roditis leaf discoloration-associated virus (GRL DaV) is a monopartite DNA virus belonging to the genus Badnavirus (family Caulimoviridae). GRLDaV is associ ated with yellow and/or reddish leaf discoloration symp ... -
Unveiling changes in the rhizosphere bacteriome of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) inbred lines linked to their resistance to the soil borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae Kleb
(Elsevier, 2025-02)Plants infected by fungal pathogens often actively recruit microbes in their roots to protect themselves. It is widely accepted that the plant microbiome plays a crucial role to sustain the fitness, resilience and development ... -
Production of functional bovine IL-22 in a mammalian episomal expression system
(Elsevier, 2025-01)Interleukin 22 is a member of the interleukin-10 superfamily of cytokines. This protein has a dual role as an inflammatory and anti-inflammatory molecule dependent on the context. IL-22 is produced mainly by immune cells ... -
Participatory surveillance reveals marsh deer mortality event during an extraordinary flood in Ibera Wetlands, Argentina
(Wiley, 2025-02)Mortality events of marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) have been historically described in the southern margins of its geographical range. Few documented cases show how environmental changes and pathogens interact to ... -
Long-term evaluation in BALBc mice of a triple mutant of Mycobacterium bovis and the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin as potential vaccines against bovine tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2025-03)There is currently no commercial vaccine available against bovine tuberculosis (bTB). Mycobacterium bovis is the primary causative agent of bTB and is closely related to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen responsible ... -
Rhipicephalus microplus and Its Impact on Anaplasma marginale Multistrain Infections in Contrasting Epidemiological Contexts
(MDPI, 2025-02-07)Bovine anaplasmosis is a disease caused by Anaplasma marginale, a tick-borne bacterial pathogen with global distribution, primarily determined by the range of its vector. In Argentina, Rhipicephalus microplus is the main ... -
Development of SSR markers in polyploid species using ddRAD sequence data: a case study in the genus Mimosa
(Taylor and Francis, 2024-09-23)Mimosa L. is a megadiverse genus where lower rank classification is challenging due to widespread morphological similarities. M. subser. Obstrigosae includes 12 species with different ploidy levels. Morphological boundaries ... -
Mycobacterium bovis mutant in the virulence factors PhoP, ESAT-6 and CFP-10 persisted in mouse organs after a year post-vaccination
