Genetic variation of xylem hydraulic properties shows that wood density is involved in adaptation to drought in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.))
(Springer, 2011-05)Relationships between wood density and hydraulic efficiency and safety (hydraulic specific conductivity and vulnerability to cavitation, respectively) could clarify the physiological process explaining the impact of density ... -
Genetic versus environmental contributions to variation in seedling resprouting in Nothofagus obliqua
(Springer, 2015-04)Resprouting is an almost universal functional trait in temperate angiosperms and confers persistence at an individual level after the loss of above-ground biomass. The importance of genetic versus environmental sources of ... -
Genetically diverse herpesviruses in South American Atlantic coast seabirds
(2017)Different herpesviruses have been associated with respiratory and enteric disease and mortality among seabirds and waterfowl. In 2011, a respiratory disease outbreak affected 58.3% (98/168) of the Magellanic penguins ... -
Genetics and biology of Anastrepha fraterculus: research supporting the use of the sterile insect technique (SIT) to control this pest in Argentina
(BMC, 2014-12)Two species of true fruit flies (taxonomic family Tephritidae) are considered pests of fruit and vegetable production in Argentina: the cosmopolitan Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann) and the new world ... -
Genetics and mapping of a new anthracnose resistance locus in Andean common bean Paloma
(2017-04)Background: The Andean cultivar Paloma is resistant to Mesoamerican and Andean races of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, the fungal pathogen that causes the destructive anthracnose disease in common bean. Remarkably, Paloma ... -
Genética cuantitativa para mejoradores de plantas
(Ediciones INTA, 2022-06)Este texto está dirigido a estudiantes de grado y posgrado en Agronomía, Biología, Genética, y Genética Aplicada, con el objetivo de acercar los conceptos fundamentales de la Genética Cuantitativa que dan sustento científico ... -
Genética y citogenética de la determinación del sexo en Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2011)El parasitoide bracónido Diachasmimorpha longicaudata es ampliamente utilizado como controlador biológico de moscas de los frutos; sin embargo, es escaso el conocimiento disponible sobre su genética. A fin de aportar ... -
Genistin and quinolizidine alkaloid induction in L. angustifolius aerial parts in response to mechanical damage
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)Lupinus species are commonly used as annual forage and for grain production. They are considered alternative crops to soybean due to their adaptation to cool environments and dry soils. The present study is an analysis of ... -
Genome characterization of an Argentinean isolate of alfalfa leaf curl virus
(2018-03)We investigated the molecular characteristics of an Argentinean isolate of alfalfa leaf curl virus (ALCV-Arg), a virus of the genus Capulavirus in the family Geminiviridae that was isolated from alfalfa plants showing ... -
Genome sequence of Azospirillum brasilense REC3, isolated from strawberry plants
(American Society for Microbioly, 2018)The genome sequence of a plant growth-promoting bacterium and biocontrol agent, Azospirillum brasilense REC3, isolated from strawberry roots, is reported here. The A. brasilense REC3 total genome contains 7,229,924 bp ... -
Genome-based reclassification of Azospirillum brasilense Az39 as the type strain of Azospirillum argentinense sp. nov.
(Microbiology Society, 2022-08-01)Strain Az39T of Azospirillum is a diazotrophic plant growth-promoting bacterium isolated in 1982 from the roots of wheat plants growing in Marcos Juárez, Córdoba, Argentina. It produces indole-3- acetic acid in the presence ... -
Genome-enabled and phenotypic selection of alfalfa for widely-diversified cropping environments
(2018-11-11)The decrease of rainfall amount due to climate change, and the reduction of irrigation water caused by growing water demand for non-agricultural uses, emphasize the importance of breeding novel alfalfa varieties that are ... -
Genome-enabled insights into the biology of thrips as crop pests
(BMC, 2020-10-19)Background The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), is a globally invasive pest and plant virus vector on a wide array of food, fiber and ornamental crops. While there are numerous studies centered ... -
Genome-Wide Analyses of Subtilisin-Like Serine Proteases on Solanum tuberosum
(Springer Netherlands, 2016-10)Plant subtilisin-like serine proteases or subtilases constitute a large expanded gene subfamily in potato. We identified 82 potato subtilases encoded by 74 genes. All subtilases present a characteristic S08 domain, and the ... -
Genome-wide analysis of the snakin/GASA gene family in solanum tuberosum cv. Kennebec
(2016-04)Snakin/GASA proteins have been involved in different aspects of plant growth and development although their exact role is still intriguing. All of them maintain 12 cysteines of the C-terminus in highly conserved positions ... -
