Selecting salt-tolerant clones and evaluating genetic variability to obtain parents of new diploid and tetraploid germplasm in rhodesgrass (Chloris gayana K.)
(2013-01)We evaluated survival percentage under salt stress in 46 diploid and tetraploid clones of rhodesgrass (Chloris gayana K.) with the aim of obtaining salt tolerant clones. Fifteen clones were selected at 600 mM NaCl under ... -
Drought stress tolerance of Prosopis chilensis and Prosopis flexuosa species and their hybrids
(Springer, 2013-02)Natural hybridization commonly produces individuals with intermediate morphological and genetic characteristics, but their response to environmental stress is still uncertain, with some studies showing that transgressive ... -
Sistemas de fenotipado para la evaluación de las respuestas al estrés salino en Lotus
(Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de la República e Instituto Nacional de Investigación Agropecuaria, Uruguay, 2013-06-01)La tolerancia al estrés salino es un carácter complejo determinado por la sumatoria de los efectos de numerosos genes, cuya identificación es necesaria para la definición de estrategias de mejoramiento. En este sentido, ... -
Differential salt-stress response during germination and vegetative growth in in vitro selected somaclonal mutants of Cenchrus ciliaris L.
(2013-07)Four somaclonal mutants (S1, S4, S6 and M10) and their parental Cenchrus ciliaris L. cultivar Biloela were characterized under salinity conditions at germination and vegetative growth stages. Seeds of all somaclonal mutants ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Diversity and stress tolerance in rhizobia from Parque Chaqueño region of Argentina nodulating Prosopis alba
(Springer, 2013-11)The aim of this work was to investigate the genetic diversity, symbiotic effectiveness, drought tolerance, and indole acetic acid production of indigenous rhizobial populations in the Parque Chaqueño of Argentina able to ... -
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, ... -
Feasibility of lowering soybean planting density without compromising nitrogen fixation and yield
(American Society of Agronomy, 2014)Adjusting soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] density can be critical to reduce inter-plant competition for water, nutrients, and sunlight, and to increase intercepted radiation, photosynthesis, and biomass production. The ... -
Assessing spatial genetic structure from molecular marker data via principal component analyses: a case study in a Prosopis sp. fores
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-01)Advances in genotyping technology, such as molecular markers, have noticeably improved our capacity to characterize genomes at multiple loci. Concomitantly, the methodological framework to analyze genetic data has expanded, ... -
Structure and biological activities of lipochitooligosaccharide nodulation signals produced by Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 138 under saline and osmotic stress
(2014-02)The establishment of a symbiotic interaction involves a signal exchange between the host legume (flavonoids) and the nitrogen-fixing rhizobia (nodulation factors (NFs)). Likewise, abiotic stress conditions, such as salinity ... -
Identification of QTLs for shoot and root growth under ionic–osmotic stress in Lotus, using a RIL population
(CSIRO Publishing, 2014-02-20)The genus Lotus includes a group of forage legume species including genotypes of agronomic interest and model species. In this work, an experimental hydroponic growth system allowed the discrimination of growth responses ... -
Somatic embryogenesis from in vitro anther culture of apomictic buffel grass genotypes and analysis of regenerated plants using flow cytometry
(2014-06)Buffel grass is a fodder grass that reproduces mainly via apomixis. Using in vitro tissue culture in apomictic species provides alternatives that can be applied in a breeding program. The aims of this work were to establish ... -
Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) growth and yield are influenced by establishment methods
(South African National Biodiversity Institute, 2014-06)Six experiments were performed in the term of three years in order to explore and compare the effects of transplanting and direct sowing (DS) on sweet corn (Zea mays L.) growth, earliness and yield. Different genotypes, ... -
Expression of animal anti-apoptotic gene ced-9 enhances tolerance during Glycine max L.– Bradyrhizobium japonicum interaction under saline stress but reduces nodule formation
(2014-07-27)The mechanisms by which the expression of animal cell death suppressors in economically important plants conferred enhanced stress tolerance are not fully understood. In the present work, the effect of expression of animal ... -
