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 candidate gene survey of quantitative trait loci affecting chemical composition in tomato fruit
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2008-07)In tomato, numerous wild-related species have been demonstrated to be untapped sources of valuable genetic variability, including pathogen-resistance genes, nutritional, and industrial quality traits. From a collection of ... -
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 comparative life cycle assessment of the sugarcane value chain in the province of Tucumán (Argentina) considering different technology levels
(Springer, 2017)Purpose: The purpose of this work is to quantify the environmental impact of the sugarcane industry in Tucumán (Argentina) through the life cycle analysis (LCA). The distinctive feature is the consideration of different ... -
A comparative study of culture methods and PCR assay for Salmonella detection in poultry drinking water
(Oxford Academic Press, 2013-01)The present work compared 2 culture methods and PCR assays for motile and nonmotile Salmonella detection using artificially contaminated poultry drinking water. The specificity was 1 for all methods studied. The accuracy ... -
A comparative study of culture methods and polymerase chain reaction assay for Salmonella detection in poultry feed
(Oxford Academic Press, 2011-11)The present work compared 2 culture methods and PCR assay for the detection of motile and non-motile Salmonella strains using artificially contaminated poultry feed. The specificity was 1 in all methods. The accuracy and ... -
A comparative study of culture methods and polymerase chain reaction for Salmonella detection in egg content
(Oxford Academic Press, 2012-10)The present work compared 2 culture methods and a PCR assay applied with 2 enrichment methods for the detection of motile and nonmotile Salmonella strains using artificially contaminated egg content. The specificity (Sp) ... -
A comparison of five methods to assess embolism resistance in trees
(Elsevier, 2020-04)Vulnerability to drought-induced embolism is a key trait that shapes drought resistance and that could be increasingly used to design climate-smart forest management guidelines and to anticipate the outcome of climate ... -
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 direct high-throughput in Cell-ELISA for measuring infectivity of cytopathic and non-cytopathic bovine viral diarrhoea virus strains applied to the assessment of antiviral activity
(Elsevier, 2018-07-19)Low-cost high-throughput methods applicable to any virus strain are required for screening antiviral compounds against multiple field strains. Colorimetric cell-viability assays are used for this purpose as long as the ... -
A Divergent Strain of Culex pipiens-Associated Tunisia Virus in the Malaria Vector Anopheles epiroticus
