Earliness per se variation in Argentine bread wheat varieties and mapping of QTLs in a recombinant inbred line population
(Springer, 2019-10)The occurrence of flowering time in wheat is affected not only by the vernalization and photoperiod response, but also by earliness per se (EPS). The effects of this trait facilitate the fine tunning of the life cycle for ... -
Early Adaptive Immune Responses in the Respiratory Tract of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus-Infected Cattle
(2013-03)Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease which affects both domestic and wild biungulate species. This acute disease, caused by the FMD virus (FMDV), usually includes an active replication phase ... -
Early detection of Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei) of chickpea by traditional PCR
(Elsevier, 2020-11-16)Ascochyta blight is the major disease affecting chickpea (Cicer arietinum) around the world. Since the first report of Ascochyta rabiei's isolation in Argentina in 2012, the pathogen has caused severe economic losses in ... -
Early exposure to and subsequent beef cattle performance with saline water
(2016-03)Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of early life exposure to high salt water on later cattle performance with saline water. In Exp. 1, 24 cow/calf pairs were randomly assigned to one of two treatments: ... -
Early genetic consequences of defaunation in a large-seeded vertebrate-dispersed palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana)
(2017)Plant populations are seriously threatened by anthropogenic habitat disturbance. In particular, defaunation may disrupt plantdisperser mutualisms, thus reducing levels of seed-mediated gene flow and genetic variation in ... -
Early protection against foot-and-mouth disease virus in cattle using an inactivated vaccine formulated with Montanide ESSAI IMS D 12802 VG PR adjuvant
(Elsevier, 2014-04-17)Foot and mouth disease is an acute disease of cattle with a broad distribution around the world. Due to the fast spread of FMDV infections, control measures must be applied immediately after an outbreak, such as the use ... -
Early responses to Fe-deficiency distinguish Sorghum bicolor genotypes with contrasting alkalinity tolerance
(Elsevier, 2018-11)Soil alkalinity is a significant limitation to agricultural productivity and it is associated to several soil features, among them, Fe deficiencies. In this work, we explored the hypothesis that alkalinity tolerance in ... -
Early water stress on growth, development and yield of high retention cotton
(University of Queensland, 2010)The Bollgard II cotton varieties, which contain two genes from Bacillus thuringiensis var kurstaki (Bt) that express proteins toxic to Helicoverpa spp. were recently released in Australia, and they have increased insect ... -
Eco-physiological bases of genetic gains of bread wheat yield in Mediterranean Spain during the 20th century
(Departament d'Enginyeria Agroforestal, Universitat de Lleida, 2009)Wheat breeding has played an important role in increasing yields during the 20th century. In general, the increase in yield was characterised by an exponential trend with the year of release of the cultivars: slow increase ... -
Eco-physiological processes underlying maize water use efficiency response to plant density under contrasting water regimes
(Elsevier, 2020-09)This study quantified maize (Zea mays L.) water use efficiency for grain yield (WUEg) in response to plant density under contrasting water regimes; and focused on relevant eco-physiologial processes underlying the responses ... -
Ecofisiología del cultivo de maíz dulce (Zea mays l. Var. Saccharata) = Echophysiology of sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata)
(Asociación Argentina de Horticultura, 2017)Los maíces dulces y superdulces cuentan con un gen en homocigosis recesiva, cuya función es retardar o impedir la completa transformación de los azúcares solubles del grano en almidón, siendo esta la principal diferencia ... -
The ecohydrology of ecosystem transitions: a meta‐analysis
(Wiley, 2015-07)A vast body of literature demonstrated that anthropogenic disturbances such as overgrazing and fire are key drivers of abrupt transition between vegetation types in ecosystems. In this study, we propose that the hydrological ... -
Ecological and Human Dimensions of the Monk Parakeet Damage to Crops in Argentina
(University of Florida, 2011)The Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) is considered among the most important bird pest species causing damage to crops in Argentina. In this study, I explored habitat features influencing abundance and damage of monk ... -
Ecological and physiological thermal niches to understand distribution of Chagas disease vectors in Latin America
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-03)In order to assess how triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), Chagas disease vectors, are distributed through Latin America, we analysed the relationship between the ecological niche and the limits of the physiological thermal ... -
Ecological characterization of a tick community across a landscape gradient exhibiting differential anthropogenic disturbance in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion in Argentina
(2018-02)An ecological analysis of a tick (Ixodida: Ixodidae) community across a landscape gradient presenting differential anthropogenic disturbance in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion in Argentina was performed. Ticks were collected ... -
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae
(Springer, 2011-08)Insect species associated with human goods continue to be accidentally introduced into new locations. A small proportion of these introduced species become invasive, causing a range of impacts in the receiving community. ... -
Ecological risk assessment of current-use pesticides and biocides in soils, sediments and surface water of a mixed land-use basin of the Pampas region, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-08)The present study aimed to assess the ecological risk of 30 current-use agricultural pesticides and biocides in the soil, sediments and aquatic organisms of a mixed land-use basin located in the Depressed Pampas Region of ... -
Ecology and genetic variation of Amblyomma tonelliae in Argentina
(2015-09)The ecology of Amblyomma tonelliae (Ixodida: Ixodidae), including its seasonal distribution and the development periods of each stage, was investigated during a study carried out over two consecutive years in northwestern ... -
Ecology and management of invasive Pinaceae around the world : progress and challenges
(2017-06)Many species in the family Pinaceae are invaders. These species are relatively easy to control because of some of their intrinsic characteristics and because they are highly visible and easy to eliminate. Many Pinaceae ...
