Genome-wide identification of the mutation uderlying fleece variation and discriminating ancestral hairy species from modern woolly sheep
(Oxford university press, 2017-07)The composition and structure of fleece variation observedin mammals is a consequence of a strong selective pressure for fiber production after domestication. In sheep, fleece variation discriminates ancestral species ... -
Genome-wide scan for commons SNPs affecting bovine leukemia virus infection level in dairy cattle
(2018-02-13)Background: Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection is omnipresent in dairy herds causing direct economic losses due to trade restrictions and lymphosarcoma-related deaths. Milk production drops and increase in the culling ... -
Geographic distribution of sex chromosome polymorphism in Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 from Argentina

Grooming Behavior in Naturally Varroa-Resistant Apis mellifera Colonies From North-Central Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-22)The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, is an important species in providing honey and pollination services globally. The mite Varroa destructor is the major threat to A. mellifera, and it is associated with the severe ... -
Gut bacteriome analysis of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 during the early steps of laboratory colonization
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10)Microbial communities associated to insect species are involved in essential biological functions such as host nutrition, reproduction and survivability. Main factors have been described as modulators of gut bacterial ... -
High - efficiency direst somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from leaf base plants of "peperina" (Minthostachys verticillata)
(Springer, 2020-07-30)In vitro culture has been recognized as a potential plant clonal propagation tool for a broad variety of commercial, ornamental, and medicinal species, with applications in both industrial and academic laboratories. In ... -
High-quality forage production under salinity by using a salt-tolerant AtNXH1-expressing transgenic alfalfa combined with a natural stress-resistant nitrogen-fixing bacterium
(Elsevier, 2018-06)Alfalfa, usually known as the “Queen of Forages”, is the main source of vegetable protein to meat and milk production systems worldwide. This legume is extremely rich in proteins due to its highly efficient symbiotic ... -
Host discrimination in the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata : evidence from virgin female behaviour and egg distribution patterns
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-04)Many parasitoid species discriminate already parasitized hosts, thus avoiding larval competition. However, females incur in superparasitism under certain circumstances. Superparasitism is commonly observed in the artificial ... -
Identificación de cultivares de trébol blanco (trifolium repens l.) mediante SSR
(Sociedad Argentina de Genética, 2013-07)El trébol blanco (Trifolium repens L) es una leguminosa forrajera de gran valor nutritivo y muy eficiente en la incorporación de nitrógeno (N) al suelo mediante fijación simbiótica. En Argentina se ha difundido ampliamente ... -
Identification and characterization of Pythium graminicola, causal agent of kikuyu yellows in Argentina
(Springer, 2017-08)Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) is a perennial plant that belongs to the Poaceae family. In Argentina, it is used in warm areas as tropical pasture, forage and grass in gardens and sports fields. Species of Pythium ... -
Identification and characterization of soluble binding proteins associated with host foraging in the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Plos, 2021-06)The communication and reproduction of insects are driven by chemical sensing. During this process, chemical compounds are transported across the sensillum lymph to the sensory neurons assisted by different types of soluble ... -
Identification of candidate genes associated with host-seeking behavior in the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(BioMed Central, 2024-02)Background: Diachasmimorpha longicaudata is a hymenopteran fruit fly endoparasitoid. Females of this species find their hosts for oviposition by using complex sensorial mechanisms in response to physical and chemical stimuli ... -
In vitro propagation of Lippia integrifolia (Griseb.) Hier. and detection of genetic instability through ISSR markers of in vitro-cultured plants.
