Mate choice confers direct benefits to females of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Public Library of Science, 2019-06)Exposure to plant compounds and analogues of juvenile hormone (JH) increase male mating success in several species of tephritid fruit flies. Most of these species exhibit a lek mating system, characterized by active female ... -
Mating-induced changes in responses of female Queensland fruit fly to male pheromones and fruit : a mechanism for mating-induced sexual inhibition
(Elsevier, 2021-03)In order to reproduce, female tephritid fruit flies need both mates for fertilization and fruit for oviposition. Virgin females are prone to mating and approach males, attracted by their pheromones. Mated females, however, ... -
Maximizing the expression of transgenic traits into elite alfalfa germplasm using a supertransgene configuration in heterozygous conditions
(2018-05)Numerous species of legumes, including alfalfa, are critical factors for agroecosystems due to their ability to grow without nitrogen fertilizers derived from non-renewable fossil fuels, their contribution of organic ... -
Methodology for the identification of relevant loci for milk traits in dairy cattle, using machine learning algorithms
(Elsevier, 2022)Machine learning methods were considered efficient in identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) underlying a trait of interest. This study aimed to construct predictive models using machine learning algorithms, to ... -
Microevolution rather than large genome divergence determines the effectiveness of legume–rhizobia symbiotic interaction under field conditions
(2017-08)Despite the vast screening for natural nitrogenfixing isolates by public and private consortia, no significant progresses in the production of improved nitrogenfixing inoculants for alfalfa production have been made in the ... -
Microsatellite markers from the ‘South American fruit fly’ Anastrepha fraterculusa: valuable tool for population genetic analysis and SIT applications
(BioMed Central, 2014-12-01)Background: Anastrepha fraterculus Wiedemann is a horticultural pest which causes significant economic losses in the fruit-producing areas of the American continent and limits the access of products to international markets. ... -
Minimizing the time and cost of production of transgenic alfalfa libraries using the highly efficient completely sequenced vector pPZP200BAR
(2016)Alfalfa is the most important forage legume worldwide. However, similar to other minor forage crops, it is usually harvested along with weeds, which decrease its nutrient quality and thus reduce its high value in the ... -
Modification of a previously patented method to unequivocally score A2-like and A1-like bovine β-casein variants
(Elsevier, 2023-04)A growing interest in the production and commercialization of A2 cow's milk has been observed in many countries in the last few years due to the beneficial properties for human health attributed to A2 β-casein variant. ... -
Morphometric and genetic characterization as tools for selection of Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) stocks in an area of natural hybridization in Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01)Beekeepers around the world select bees’ characteristics that facilitate and favor production. In regions where hybridization among lineages is taking place, this selection is a challenge, given that these regions are ... -
mRNA biogenesis-related helicase eIF4AIII from Arabidopsis thaliana is an important factor for abiotic stress adaptation
(2016)Similar to other plant species, Arabidopsis has a huge repertoire of predicted helicases, including the eIF4AIII factor, a putative component of the exon junction complex related to mRNA biogenesis. In this article, we ... -
Obtención de un nuevo genotipo de Achylocrine satureioides Lam (Asteraceae) por poliploidización in vivo = Obtaining a new genotype tetraploid of Achylocrine satureioides Lam (Asteraceae) by in vivo poliploydization
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, 2022-11)Achyrocline satureioides (Lam.) DC. es un arbusto originario de América del Sur. Es muy utilizada en la medicina popular, además, por su color y arquitectura, tiene potencial ornamental como planta para decorar parques o ... -
On how to identify a seminal fluid protein : a response to Wigby et al.
(Wiley, 2022-08)The choice of criteria to delimit a group or class is a subjective matter, even though the reasoning, the objectives, and the criteria themselves should always be clearly stated. This paper is part of a discussion about ... -
Ongoing speciation within the Anastrepha fraterculus cryptic species complex: the case of the Andean morphotype
(Wiley, 2014-09)The Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) cryptic species complex is currently composed of seven taxonomically recognized morphotypes. Both, pre‐ and post‐zygotic isolation has been documented among ... -

(Universidad Austral/Universidad de La Sabana/Universidad Panamericana, 2022-12)La patente precaucional o provisional es una figura presente en algunas legislaciones nacionales de patente. Su solicitud permite establecer una prioridad sobre la invención que aloja, dando inicio a un período acotado ... -
Patterns of resource distribution among conspecific larvae in two fruit fly species : Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata (diptera: tephritidae)
(2016)1 Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) are fruit fly pests whose larvae are frequently found sharing the same fruit with conspecifics. Because larvae are incapable of ... -
pBAR–H3.2, a native-optimized binary vector to bypass transgene silencing in alfalfa
(Springer, 2020-03)Alfalfa is the main forage worldwide due to its high biomass production, excellent nutritional qualities and adaptation to a wide range of environments (Singer et al. 2018). Besides, due to its ability to grow without ... -
PCR identification of petunia male sterile cytoplasm = Identificação por PCR de citoplasma macho estéril em Petunia
(Sociedade Brasileira de Floricultura e Plantas Ornamentais, 2019-12)Petunia is a very important ornamental plant with a broad range of flower colour and size, and most of the cultivars grown are propagated through seeds. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a maternally inherited character ... -
