A barnavirus sequence mined from a transcriptome of the Antarctic pearlwort Colobanthus quitensis
(2018-03)Because so few viruses in the family Barnaviridae have been reported, we searched for more of them in public sequence databases. Here, we report the complete coding sequence of Colobanthus quitensis associated barnavirus ... -
A case study of strategies for fostering international, interdisciplinary research
(2016-06)Bringing together and successfully managing a highly interdisciplinary (ID) research team of socioeconomic, biophysical, and engineering scientists is highly challenging, particularly when that team includes 20 scientists ... -
A computational study of the interaction of the foot and mouth disease virus VP1 with monoclonal antibodies
(Elsevier, 2015-10)Foot and mouth disease is caused by a non-enveloped virus (FMDV), which disposes several antigenic sites at the surface of their capsid proteins. The most relevant and immunodominant antigenic site of FMDV (site A or AnSA) ... -
A contribution of beef to human health : a review of the role of the animal production systems
(2016)Meat and meat products constitute important source of protein, fat, and several functional compounds. Although beef consumption may implicate possible negative impacts on human health, its consumption can also contribute ... -
A cost-effective and customizable automated irrigation system for precise high-throughput phenotyping in drought stress studies
(2018-06-05)The development of high-yielding crops with drought tolerance is necessary to increase food, feed, fiber and fuel production. Methods that create similar environmental conditions for a large number of genotypes are essential ... -
A Coxiella mutualist symbiont is essential to the development of rhipicephalus microplus
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-12)The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is a hematophagous ectoparasite that causes important economic losses in livestock. Different species of ticks harbor a symbiont bacterium of the genus Coxiella. It was showed that ... -
A descriptive Study of lectin histochemistry of the placenta in cattle following inoculation of Neospora caninum.
(Elsevier, 2019-01)The aim of this study was to describe the lectin-binding pattern in the placentas of cows infected experimentally with Neospora caninum. Four cows were inoculated intravenously with 1 × 108 tachyzoites of the NC-1 strain ... -
A DNA vaccine formulated with chemical adjuvant provides partial protection against bovine herpes virus infection in cattle
(2017-01-25)Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) is the causative agent of bovine infectious rhinotracheitis, an important disease worldwide. Although conventional BoHV-1 vaccines, including those based on the use of modified live virus and ... -
A dose-dependent response to MEK inhibition determines hypoblast fate in bovine embryos
(BioMed Central, 2019-07-04)Background: The segregation of the hypoblast and the emergence of the pluripotent epiblast mark the final stages of blastocyst formation in mammalian embryos. In bovine embryos the formation of the hypoblast has been ... -
A functional XopAG homologue in Xanthomonas fuscans pv. aurantifolii strain C limits host range
(British Society for Plant Pathology, 2015)Citrus canker is caused by two Xanthomonas species, Xanthomonas citri, which has become the primary pathogen where citrus canker occurs (type A citrus canker, Xc-A), and X. fuscans pv. aurantifolii (Xfa), which consists ... -
A fungal endophyte of a palatable grass affects preference of large herbivores
(2018-04)Temperate grasses frequently acquire resistance to herbivores through a symbiosis with epichloid fungi that produces alkaloids of variable deterrent effects. However, in those cases without apparent endophyte negative ... -
A gene-derived SNP-based high resolution linkage map of carrot including the location of QTL conditioning root and leaf anthocyanin pigmentation
(2014-12)Purple carrots accumulate large quantities of anthocyanins in their roots and leaves. These flavonoid pigments possess antioxidant activity and are implicated in providing health benefits. Informative, saturated linkage ... -
A genetic approach to the species problem in wild potato
(Wiley, 2012-07)Wild potatoes are native to the Americas, where they present very wide geographical and ecological distribution. Most are diploid, obligate out‐crossers due to a multiallelic gametophytic self‐incompatibility (S) locus ... -
A land cover map of Latin America and the Caribbean in the framework of the SERENA project
(Elsevier, 2013-05-15)Land cover maps at different resolutions and mapping extents contribute to modeling and support decision making processes. Because land cover affects and is affected by climate change, it is listed among the 13 terrestrial ... -
A leaf gas exchange model that accounts for intra‐canopy variability by considering leaf nitrogen content and local acclimation to radiation in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)
(Wiley, 2012-07)Understanding the distribution of gas exchange within a plant is a prerequisite for scaling up from leaves to canopies. We evaluated whether leaf traits were reliable predictors of the effects of leaf ageing and leaf ... -
A long-term sustainability assessment of an Argentinian agricultural system based on emergy synthesis
(2015-06-24)By tracking the different flows of emergy (the total amount of solar energy that was directly or indirectly required in a production process) it is possible to account for all environmental work previously involved in ... -
A meta‐analysis on the effectiveness of homofermentative and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria for corn silage
(2018-08)Aims: This meta‐analysis aims to assess the effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation on fermentation parameters, microbiological composition and aerobic stability of corn silage. Methods and Results: Databases ... -
A modification of the arcsine–log calibration curve for analysing soil test value–relative yield relationships
(2017-03)This article aims to discuss the arcsine–log calibration curve (ALCC) method designed for the Better Fertiliser Decisions for Cropping Systems (BFDC) to calibrate relationships between relative yield (RY) and soil test ... -
A morphological and phylogenetic analysis of Ornithodoros marinkellei (Acari: Argasidae), with additional notes on habitat and host usage
(Springer, 2018-10)Ornithodoros marinkellei was described from larvae collected on Pteronotus spp. bats in Colombia and Panama. More recently, this tick was reported in the Brazilian Amazon. Because some morphometric differences were observed ... -
