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 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 rapid and affordable amplicon-based method for next generation genome sequencing of the infectious bursal disease virus
(Elsevier, 2023-12)The infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes a severe immunosuppressive disorder in young chickens. IBDV evolution resulted in the emergence of strains with divergent genetic, antigenic, and pathogenic characteristics. ... -
An integrative 'omics' approach identifies new candidate genes to impact aroma volatiles in peach fruit
(2013-05-23)Background: Ever since the recent completion of the peach genome, the focus of genetic research in this area has turned to the identification of genes related to important traits, such as fruit aroma volatiles. Of the over ... -
Analysing nonsynonymous mutations between two Mycobacterium bovis strains with contrasting pathogenic profiles
(Elsevier, 2019-12)Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a chronic infectious disease that can affect cattle, other domesticated species, wild animals and humans. This disease produces important economic ... -
Análisis genómico de girasol: desarrollo de colecciones de ESTs y de una plataforma bioinformática para estudios de expresión de genes candidato en respuestas a estreses abióticos
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2006)El girasol es uno de los principales cultivos oleaginosos del mundo por su volumen de producción y composición en ácidos grasos insaturados. En promedio, durante los últimos cinco años, la producción mundial se ha mantenido ... -
Ancient Human Mitogenome of the Beagle Channel (Tierra del Fuego): An Argentine Collaborative Project
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-05)The increasing use of massively parallel sequencing in the study of current and ancient human populations has enabled new approaches to bioanthropological and archaeological issues; however, its application to archaeological ... -
Aportes a la producción sustentable de soja mediante el mejoramiento genético de los rizobios
(Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2022-07-14)La soja es el cultivo que consume más inoculantes a nivel global. Estos inoculantes están basados casi en su totalidad en cepas relacionadas de las especies Bradyrhizobium japonicum y Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens. ... -
Avanzan sobre zonas poco conocidas del genoma de la célula vegetal
(Ediciones INTA, 2019-04)Científicos del Instituto de Genética del INTA estudian el ADN contenido en los cloroplastos, organelas del citoplasma de la célula vegetal encargadas de realizar la fotosíntesis. Mediante técnicas de inducción de mutaciones, ... -
Bean leafroll virus (BLRV) in Argentina: molecular characterization and detection in alfalfa fields
(Springer, 2016-09)Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is the main forage crop in Argentina and plays an essential role in the animal production chain, but it can be negatively affected by many factors, such as viral diseases. Here, we report the ... -
Characterization of a deletion in the Hsp70 cluster in the bovine reference genome
(Wiley Online Library, 2017-07-11)The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70) are highly conserved molecular chaperones which have a crucial role in the stress response of the cell. In mammals, the Hsp70 proteins are encoded by a cluster of three genes: ... -
Characterization of a unique copper resistance gene cluster in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris isolated in Trinidad, West Indies
(Springer, 2017-03)Whole genome sequencing of a copper resistant (CuR) black rot strain of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) isolated from a broccoli plant in Trinidad revealed a unique operon for copper resistance. The cop genes ... -
Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Amblyomma ovale, comparative analyses and phylogenetic considerations
(Springer, 2020-06)In this study, we sequenced two complete mitochondrial genomes of Amblyomma ovale, a tick of public health importance. Sequencing two distinct individuals, the resulting mitochondrial genomes were 14,756 and 14,760 bp in ... -
Characterization of two GH5 endoglucanases from termite microbiome using synthetic metagenomics
(Springer, 2020-08)Here, we characterize two novel GH5 endoglucanases (GH5CelA and GH5CelB) from an uncultured bacterium identified in termite gut microbiomes. Both genes were codon-optimized, synthetized, cloned, and expressed as recombinant ... -
