Land degradation assessment in the Argentinean Puna: Comparing expert knowledge with satellite-derived information
(Elsevier, 2018-11)The Puna region, located in NW Argentina, is a dry highland with many endemic species and significant traditional cultural heritage. The Puna was a pilot region for the Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands project ... -
Lead uptake and translocation pathways in soybean seedlings: the role of ion competition and transpiration rates
(Springer, 2021-01-06)Glycine max (L.) Merr. (soybean) crop plants have been found to have high lead (Pb) levels in aerial organs; however, knowledge about the processes involved in the incorporation, and subsequent translocation and accumulation ... -
Leaf expansion in grasses under salt stress
(Elsevier, 2009-07)Restriction of leaf growth is among the earliest visible effects of many stress conditions, including salinity. Because leaves determine radiation interception and are the main photosynthetic organs, salinity effects on ... -
Leaf Photosynthesis and Senescence in Heated and Droughted Field-grown Soybean with Contrasting Seed Protein Concentration
(Elsevier, 2021-06-06)Soybean plants under heat and drought generate a multiplicity of responses in photosynthesis and senescence, impairing growth, yield, and seed quality. The goal of this study was to analyze and quantify independent and ... -
Leaf structure and ultrastructure changes induced by heat stress and drought during seed filling in field-grown soybean and their relationship with grain yield
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021)Studies focusing on terminal drought combined with heat impacts on plants of agronomic value remain scarce, and even less under field conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate leaf structural and ultrastructural ... -
Light interception, yield, spring regrowth and quality of Chloris gayana under different defoliation regimes
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-02-22)To study the effect of different defoliation regimes on light interception, forage yield, spring regrowth and quality of one of the most expanded species in this region, Chloris gayana, we evaluate combinations of two ... -
Long-term preservation of Lotus tenuis adventitious buds
(Springer, 2018-11-14)Encapsulation-dehydration, encapsulation-vitrification, and vitrification were tested for cryopreservation of Lotus tenuis (Fagaceae) adventitious buds clusters (ABCs) obtained by a direct regeneration system from leaves ... -
Malondialdehyde content as a potential biochemical indicator of tolerant Cenchrus ciliaris L. genotypes under heat stress treatment
(Wiley, 2012-09)Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) is an important forage grass in arid and semiarid regions. As part of a genetic improvement programme, four genotypes [Biloela (Bl), Americana (Am), Texas (Tx) and Sexual (Sx)] were ... -
Morphological and molecular characterization of a hybrid zone between Prosopis alba and P. nigra in the Chaco region of northwestern Argentina
(JD Sauerlaender's Verlag, 2020-06-26)The Gran Chaco is the largest dry forest in South America. One of the key taxa of this biome is the genus Prosopis (Fabaceae) which contains several economically important species. One of the characteristics of this genus ... -
Morphological diversity of populations of the genus Prosopis in the semiarid Chaco of northern Cordoba and southern Santiago Del Estero
(Scientific Research, 2013-11)The objective of this study consisted in the characterization of morphological variability presented in the Prosopis population in the corridor that unites the semiarid with the arid region in Argentina. In this region, ... -
Morpho‐physiological traits associated with drought responses in soybean (Glycine max L.)
(2020-08-26)Drought is currently a major constraint to soybean production worldwide and is becoming more widespread due to increased aridity and warmer temperatures in the context of global climate change. In this context, breeding ... -
Negative short-term salt effects on the soybean–Bradyrhizobium japonicum interaction and partial reversion by calcium addition
(CSIRO Publishing, 2013-09-05)The short-term (2 h) effects of salt stress (50 and 150 mM NaCl) on early events of soybean– Bradyrhizobium japonicum (rhizobia) interaction were analysed, determining the following parameters in root hair with or without ... -
New insights into the molecular basis of induced resistance triggered by potassium phosphite in potato
(2019-11-12)This work aimed to provide data about the molecules involved in induced resistance mediated by potassium phosphite (KPhi) in potato. To achieve these, we performed microarray analysis to determine the changes in gene ... -
Nivel de ADN-Ploidía en poblaciones sudamericanas y norteamericanas de la gramínea nativa disyunta Trichloris crinita (Chloridoideae, Poaceae)
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional del Litoral, 2021-04-24)Trichloris crinita es una gramínea nativa de distribución disyunta que habita regiones áridas y semiáridas de Sud y Norteamérica. Trabajos previos mostraron uniformidad en el nivel de ploidía en poblaciones sudamericanas ... -
Nurse plants and seed provenance in the restoration of dry Chaco forests of central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2023-02-01)In degraded dry environments, a promising restoration strategy involves nurse plants and their microsites, which facilitate species recruitment. Different nurse plant species might provide different microclimatic and soil ... -
Nutrient deficiency and hypoxia as constraints to Panicum coloratum growth in alkaline soils
(Wiley; British Grassland Society; European Grassland Federation, 2017-12)Alkaline and saline–alkaline soils impose severe restrictions on plant growth. Panicum coloratum var. coloratum is a perennial C4 forage grass widely used in tropical and subtropical environments. Published information on ... -
Obtaining sexual genotypes for breeding in buffel grass
(2013-09)Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L. syn. Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link) is a species that is highly tolerant to drought and is used primarily as forage in drier regions throughout the subtropics and tropics. It reproduces ... -
Partial and total defoliation during the filling period affected grain industrial and nutraceutical quality in soybean
