(ASAHo, 2009-01-01)El color es un atributo importante en las hortalizas al influir en la decisión de elección del consumidor, y algunos pigmentos asociados a esos colores les confieren propiedades funcionales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue ... -
Antiprotozoal Compounds from Urolepis hecatantha (Asteraceae)
(Hindawi, 2021-02-12)The dewaxed dichloromethane extract of Urolepis hecatantha and the compounds isolated from it were tested for their in vitro activity on Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes and Leishmania infantum promastigotes. The extract ... -
Anuran responses to spatial patterns of agricultural landscapes in Argentina
(2016-12)Context: Amphibians are declining worldwide and land use change to agriculture is recognized as a leading cause. Argentina is undergoing an agriculturalization process with rapid changes in landscape structure. Objectives: ... -
Assessing Payne score accuracy through a bread wheat multi-genotype and multi-environment set from CIMMYT
(Elsevier, 2024-01-01)The Payne score is a prevalent strategy for assessing wheat quality by considering the distinct contributions of specific high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits. Despite its extensive use, the limited germplasm used in ... -
Assessing wildfire exposure in the Wildland-Urban Interface area of the mountains of central Argentina
(2017-07-01)Wildfires are a major threat to people and property in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) communities worldwide, but while the patterns of the WUI in North America, Europe and Oceania have been studied before, this is not the ... -
An assessment of the genetic diversity of Cedrela balansae C. DC. (Meliaceae) in Northwestern Argentina by means of combined use of SSR and AFLP molecular markers
(2013-04)Cedrela balansae C.DC. is a native tree species in Argentina, severely exploited for its timber features. We performed a molecular analysis to understand the genetic diversity and its distribution in eight remaining ... -
An assessor-specific Bayesian multi-threshold mixed model for analyzing ordered categorical traits in tree breeding
(Springer, 2013-12)Many traits of biological interest in tree breeding are assessed using more than two ordered discrete categories. These scores have a more or less arbitrary and subjective assignment by the assessors, which could lead to ... -
Bauhinia affinis (Fabaceae) : una nueva cita para la flora argentina
(Instituto de Botánica Darwinion, 1996)Bauhinia affinis Vogel is reported for the first time in the NE extreme of Argentina. The number of species of the genus recorded for the country is increased to 7. The species is described and illustrated indicating ist ... -
Behavioral and physiological changes in the passerine Agelaioides badius following the ingestion of coated seeds with imidacloprid in a 30-day experiment
(Elsevier, 2023-12)The wide use of neonicotinoid seed treatment represents a hazard for farmland birds that feed on treated seeds. This study aimed to characterize the long-term effects of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid (IMI) in the passerine ... -
