Genomic analysis of an Argentinean isolate of Spodoptera frugiperda granulovirus reveals that various baculoviruses code for Lef-7 proteins with three F-box domains
(2018)A new isolate of the Spodoptera frugiperda granulovirus, SfGV ARG, was completely sequenced and analyzed. The SfGV ARG genome is 139,812 bp long and encodes 151 putative open reading frames. Of these ORFs, 56 were found ... -
Genomic diversity in a population of Spodoptera frugiperda nucleopolyhedrovirus
(Elsevier, 2021-06)Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV) represents a strong candidate to develop environmental-friendly pesticides against the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), a widespread pest that poses a ... -
Genotoxic effects induced by Cd+2, Cr+6, Cu+2 in the Gill and Liver of Odontesthes bonariensis (Piscies, Atherinopsidae)
(2016)Genotoxic effects of Cd?2, Cr?6, and Cu?2 on the gill and liver of the Argentinean Silverside (Odontesthes bonariensis) were studied using the comet assay and in relation with the metal tissue accumulation. Fish were exposed ... -
Identificación de genes codificantes de enzimas de interés industrial en una cepa de bacteria termofílica aislada de aguas termales de Salta (Argentina)
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2014-04)Se aislaron dos bacterias termofílicas a partir de aguas termales de la provincia de Salta, Argentina.
