The “polyploid effect” in the breeding of aromatic and medicinal species
(Elsevier, 2020-01)The secondary metabolism of plants delivers a wide range of chemical structures with application for a vast array of activities, thus offering opportunities for social and economic development. Polyploidy is the possession ... -
Timing of exposure and nutritional status affect male response to guava volatiles, a known courtship enhancer of Anastrepha fraterculus
(Springer, 2021-06)Finding ways to improve the sexual competitiveness of laboratory reared males have proven beneficial for the sterile insect technique. Exposure to essential oils enhances male mating success in several species of Tephritidae ... -
Traditional uses, conservation status and biotechnological advances for a group of aromatic / medicinal native plants from America = Usos tradicionales, estado de conservación y avances biotecnológicos para un grupo de plantas aromáticas / medicinales nativas de América
(Universidad de Santiago de Chile, 2018-09)Medicinal and aromatic plants are biologically and economically valuable species because of their intrinsic value as plants, ability to produce secondary metabolites, possible use in the pharmaceutical and food industries, ... -
Transcriptome analysis of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 males, females, and embryos: insights into development, courtship, and reproduction
(BioMed Central, 2020-12)Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is considered a quarantine pest in several American countries. Since chemical control applied in an integrated pest management program is the only strategy utilized against this pest, the ... -
Transcriptome profiling of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata towards useful molecular tools for population management
(2016)Background: Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary parasitoid of Tephritidae (Diptera) fruit flies of economic importance currently being mass-reared in bio-factories and successfully used ... -
Transgenerational memory of the effect of drought stress on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield
(Springer, 2023-08)Water deficit is one of the main abiotic stresses that affect wheat production worldwide. Plants exhibit phenotypic variations to mitigate the negative effects of water stress on grain yield. The objective of the work was ... -
Understanding the intracellular-to-extracellular localization switch of polyhydroxybutyrate polymerase in pseudomonas backgrounds as a microevolutionary process
(Elsevier, 2018-11)After gene duplication, paralogous genes evolve independently, and consequently, the new proteins encoded by these duplicated genes are exposed to changes in their subcellular location. Although there are increasing evidence ... -
Validation of housekeeping genes for qPCR in maize during water deficit stress conditions at flowering time
(2017)Plant stress studies are increasingly being based on gene expression. The analysis of gene expression requires sensitive, precise, and replicable measurements for specific mRNA sequences. Real-time RT-PCR is nowadays the ... -
Varroa destructor parasitism and genetic variability at honey bee (Apis mellifera) drone congregation areas and their associations with environmental variables in Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11)Varroa destructor is a serious ectoparasite of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, which negatively impacts on colonies health and survival worldwide. Drone-mediated movement and the presence of the mite in Drone ... -
Virulence characterization and identification of maize lines resistant to Puccinia sorghi Schwein. Present in the argentine corn belt region
(2016-04)Puccinia sorghi Schwein., the causal agent of maize common rust, is an endemic disease in the Argentine Corn Belt region. Virulence surveys of the pathogen population within the region have not been performed; thus, the ... -
Water deficit stress tolerance in maize conferred by expression of an anisopentenyltransferase (IPT) gene driven by a stress- and maturation-induced promoter
(2016)Senescence can be delayed in transgenic plants overexpressing the enzyme isopentenyltransferase (IPT) due to stress-induced increased levels of endogenous cytokinins. This trait leads to sustained photo-synthetic activity ... -
Weighted single-step genome-wide association analyses for milk traits in Holstein and Holstein x Jersey crossbred dairy cattle
(Elsevier, 2020-12)The purpose of this study was to identify genomic regions explaining a major proportion of the genetic variance in milk production and milk fat and protein content on a commercial herd of Holstein and Holstein x Jersey ... -
Whole-Genome Resequencing of Spontaneous Oxidative Stress-Resistant Mutants Reveals an Antioxidant System of Bradyrhizobium japonicum Involved in Soybean Colonization
(Springer, 2021-11)Soybean is the most inoculant-consuming crop in the world, carrying strains belonging to the extremely related species Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens. Currently, it is well known that B. japonicum ... -
Wolbachia pipientis associated with tephritid fruit fly pests: from basic research to applications
(Frontiers Media, 2020-06)Members of the true fruit flies (family Tephritidae) are among the most serious agricultural pests worldwide, whose control and management demands large and costly international efforts. The need for cost-effective and ... -
Yeast derivatives and wheat germ in the adult diet modulates fecundity in a tephritid pest
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-04)Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann), a pest of great economic importance in South America, needs urgently to be controlled by environmentally friendly methods such as the sterile insect technique for which mass rearing of ...
