Carotenoids gene markers for sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam): applications in genetic mapping, diversity evaluation and cross‑species transference
(Springer, 2014-04)Carotenoids play essential biological roles in plants, and genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway are evolutionarily conserved. Orange sweetpotato is an important source of β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin ... -
Changes in bird assemblages in a wetland ecosystem after 14 years of intensified cattle farming
(2018-05)Human activities have modified wetlands all over the word. Water control structures that are frequently implemented in these ecosystems to keep lands free of flooding can decrease or degrade habitat for biodiversity. The ... -

(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (España), 2015)Aim of study: The aim of the study was to characterize functional microsatellite markers in Prosopis alba and examine the transferability to species from the Prosopis genus. Area of the study: samples were obtained from ... -
Characterization of glandular trichomes of Minthostachys verticillata “peperina” from northwest and central Argentina: relation with essential oil content
(2016)Minthostachys verticillata is an endemic species in Argentina that shows higher contents of essential oils (EO %, v/w) in plants from the central area than in those from the northwest. Although the reason for this difference ... -
Characterization of the repetitive DNA landscape in wheat homeologous group 4 chromosomes
(2015)Background: The number and complexity of repetitive elements varies between species, being in general most represented in those with larger genomes. Combining the flow-sorted chromosome arms approach to genome analysis ... -
Chromosome studies in southern species of Mimosa (Fabaceae, Mimosoideae) and their taxonomic and evolutionary inferences
(2014-05)In this work, chromosome numbers and karyotype parameters of 36 taxa of the genus Mimosa were studied, especially from the southern South America center of diversification. Results support that x = 13 is the basic chromosome ... -
Combined effects of agrochemical contamination and forest loss on anuran diversity in agroecosystems of east-central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Agricultural expansion and intensification has led globally to a rapid landscape structure change and high agrochemical use resulting in habitat loss and degraded environmental quality. Co-occurrence of landscape change ... -
Concentration of current-use pesticides in frogs from the Pampa region and correlation of a mixture toxicity index with biological effects
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Contamination with current-use pesticides is frequently mentioned as a key factor in global amphibian declines although a limited number of studies have examined the mixture of pesticides accumulated by free-living frogs. ... -
Crop species transferability of G-SSR and EST-SSR markers to Neltuma affinis spreng
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (España), 2024-03-18)Aim of study: To examine the transferability of G-SSR (genomic simple sequence repeats) and EST-SSR (expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeats) markers developed for several Neltuma species to N. affinis, a species ... -
Cross transferability of SSR markers to endangered Cedrela species that grow in Argentinean subtropical forests, as a valuable tool for population genetic studies
(Elsevier, 2014-04)Species of Cedrela with a high economic value from Northwest and Northeastern Argentina are severely exploited. This work evaluates whether 51 nuclear SSRs, developed to study phylogenetically close species in the Meliaceae ... -
Crotalaria vespertilio (Papilionoideae, Leguminosae) nuevo registro para el nordeste de Argentina y este de Paraguay
(Sociedad Argentina de Botánica, 2014-09)Crotalaria vespertilio (Papilionoideae, Leguminosae) es citada, descripta e ilustrada por primera vez para NE de Argentina y E de Paraguay. Esta especie es afín a C. paulina, diferenciándose por caracteres florales. Para ... -
Cytogenetics characterization of Minthostachys mollis (Kunth.) Griseb. Populations from Tucumán province (Argentina)
(Facultad de Agronomía y Zootecnia, Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, 2013-07)Minthostachys mollis (Kunth.) Griseb. (Lamiaceae) is a native species from the central and northwest Argentinean region. Reported a chromosome number are 2n = 24 and 2n = 42. In this work, two populations of M. mollis were ... -
Cytogeography and morphological characterisation of a taxonomic, polyploid complex of Mimosa (Leguminosae) from subtropical South America
(CSIRO Publishing, 2018)Mimosa subseries Dolentes Barneby and Brevipedes Barneby are ecologically and morphologically high-diversified infrageneric taxa of this genus in southern South America. We performed a cytogenetical and morphological ... -
De novo assembly and characterization of leaf transcriptome for the development of functional molecular markers of the extremophile multipurpose tree species Prosopis alba
(2013-10)Background: Prosopis alba (Fabaceae) is an important native tree adapted to arid and semiarid regions of north-western Argentina which is of great value as multipurpose species. Despite its importance, the genomic resources ... -
De novo transcriptome sequencing and SSR markers development for Cedrela balansae C.DC., a native tree species of northwest Argentina

Decoupling of height growth and drought or pest resistance tradeoffs is revealed through multiple commongarden experiments of lodgepole pine
(Oxford University Press, 2023-03)The environment could alter growth and resistance tradeoffs in plants by affecting the ratio of resource allocation to various competing traits. Yet, how and why functional tradeoffs change over time and space is poorly ... -
Deforestation and cattle expansion in the Paraguayan Chaco 1987–2012
