A Framework to tackling the synchrony between Social and Ecological phases of the annual cyclic movement of transhumant pastoralism
(MDPI, 2020-04)Transhumant pastoralism is mobile livelihood strategy in which families and their herds move seasonally from lowlands, where they settle during the winter, towards the highlands, located in mountainous areas, during the ... -
A functional classification of 63 common Poaceae in the “Campos” grasslands of South America
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2019-08)The natural grasslands that form part of the “Campos” of South America contain a large number of species at the paddock level (high α diversity), but little differentiation among paddocks (low β diversity). Thus, forage ... -
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 functional–structural plant model that simulates whole- canopy gas exchange of grapevine plants (Vitis vinifera L.) under different training systems
(Oxford University Press, 2020-09)Background and Aims: Scaling from single-leaf to whole-canopy photosynthesis faces several complexities related to variations in light interception and leaf properties. To evaluate the impact of canopy strucuture on gas ... -
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 fungal protease named AsES triggers antiviral immune responses and effectively restricts virus infection in arabidopsis and Nicotiana benthamiana plants
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04)Background and Aims: Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to fight against pathogens. Among these mechanisms, pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) relies on the recognition of conserved microbe- or pathogen-associated molecular ... -
A fűszerpaprika (capsicum annuum l.) termesztése és földolgozása Argentínában [El pimiento picante (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivado y procesado en Argentina]
(Sigillum 2000, 2020)A fűszerpaprika termesztése Argentínában két fő körzetben, Mendoza környékén, valamint északon Tucumán, Catamarca és Salta tartományok határvidékén koncentrálódik. Az étkezési paprikához képest sokkal kisebb a jelentősége, ... -
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 genome-wide association study unveils key chromosome regions involved in determining sodium accumulation in wheat under conditions of low potassium supply
(Elsevier, 2022-05-30)Improving nutrient use efficiency is an important objective in modern breeding programs. In this work, we examined potassium utilization efficiency (KUtE) and traits potentially related to it in a formerly genotyped, ... -
A glimpse into the DNA virome of the unique “living fossil” Welwitschia mirabilis
(Elsevier, 2022-08-10)Here, we report the identification and characterization of four novel DNA viruses from Welwitschia mirabilis transcriptomic and genomic datasets. Complete circular virus-like sequences with affinity to members of ... -
A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019-10)Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield–related ecosystem services can be maintained by a few dominant species or rely on ... -
A global-temporal analysis on Phytophthora sojae resistance-gene efficacy
(Springer Nature, 2023-09-27)Plant disease resistance genes are widely used in agriculture to reduce disease outbreaks and epidemics and ensure global food security. In soybean, Rps (Resistance to Phytophthora sojae) genes are used to manage Phytophthora ... -
A hard-to-keep promise: Vegetation use and aboveground carbon storage in silvopastures of the Dry Chaco
(Elsevier, 2020-11-01)In dry woodland regions, silvopastures have emerged as a promising option to balance cattle production, carbon storage and biodiversity. However, one of the major challenges in these systems, particularly when implemented ... -
A Key Interaction Behind the Scenes: Dung Beetles in Livestock Production from Arid and Semi-Arid Rangelands
(Springer, 2024-02)Pastoralism is a dominant agricultural activity in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The interaction between coprophagous insects and livestock is a key but an undervalued topic in rangeland management decisions. The objective ... -
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 look at polyploidy and plant breeding
(Heighten Science Publications, 2022-11)Polyploidization is a process that generates genetic variability and therefore one of the engines of biological evolution. Since polyploidization produces important changes in the phenotype, mainly an increase in the size ... -
A Machine Learning- Based Approach for the Discovery of Climate Smart Peaches
(2022)The temperate climate fruit trees are proposed as the crops that will be more affected by climate change. This is due to that these tree species alternate a dormancy period induced by chilling requirement with a vegetative ...
