Allelic differences in a vacuolar invertase affect Arabidopsis growth at early plant development
(2016)Improving carbon fixation in order to enhance crop yield is a major goal in plant sciences. By quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, it has been demonstrated that a vacuolar invertase (vac-Inv) plays a key role in ... -
Biotechnological improvement of ornamental plants
(2017)The discovery of commercial transgenic varieties of orange petunias sold in Europe and the United States although they had never reached the approved status, and the consequent recommendation to destroy them, was the trigger ... -
Crop metabolomics : from diagnostics to assisted breeding
(Springer, 2018-11)Background Until recently, plant metabolomics have provided a deep understanding on the metabolic regulation in individual plants as experimental units. The application of these techniques to agricultural systems subjected ... -
Dissecting maize diversity in lowland South America : genetic structure and geographic distribution models
(2016)Background: Maize landraces from South America have traditionally been assigned to two main categories: Andean and Tropical Lowland germplasm. However, the genetic structure and affiliations of the lowland gene pools have ... -
Identification of a new cotton disease caused by an atypical cotton leafroll dwarf virus in Argentina
(2017)An outbreak of a new disease occurred in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fields in northwest Argentina starting in the 2009–10 growing season and is still spreading steadily. The characteristic symptoms of the disease included ... -
Integrating transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis to understand natural leaf senescence in sunflower
(2016)Leaf senescence is a complex process, which has dramatic consequences on crop yield. In sunflower, gap between potential and actual yields reveals the economic impact of senescence. Indeed, sunflower plants are incapable ... -
Interaction of Mal de Río Cuarto virus (Fijivirus genus) proteins and identification of putative factors determining viroplasm formation and decay
(2017)Mal de Río Cuarto virus (MRCV) is a member of the Fijivirus genus, within the Reoviridae family, that repli-cates and assembles in cytoplasmic inclusion bodies called viroplasms. In this study, we investigatedinteractions ... -
On-field phenotypic evaluation of sunflower populations for broad-spectrum resistance to Verticillium leaf mottle and wilt
(Springer Nature, 2021-06)Sunflower Verticillium Wilt and Leaf Mottle (SVW), caused by Verticillium dahliae (Kleb.; Vd), is a soil-borne disease affecting sunflower worldwide. A single dominant locus, known as V1, was formerly effective in controlling ... -
Phenotyping sunflower genetic resources for Sclerotinia head rot response: assessing variability for disease resistance breeding
(The American Phytopathological Society, 2017-11)Sclerotinia head rot (SHR) is one of the most serious constraints to sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. var. macrocarpus) production worldwide. Here, we evaluated the response to SHR in a sunflower inbred panel from a large ... -
Pre-breeding studies in Panicum coloratum var. coloratum: Characterization using agro-morphological traits and molecular markers = Estudios de pre-mejoramiento genético en Panicum coloratum var. coloratum : caracterización usando marcadores moleculares y caracteres agro-morfológicos
(CIAT, 2018)Panicum coloratum var. coloratum is a native African perennial C4 grass, introduced to Argentina. It is tolerant of salinity and cold and has good forage production. The scarce genotypic and phenotypic information about ...
