• Sunflower leaf senescence : a complex genetic process with economic impact on crop production 

      Moschen, Sebastian Nicolas; López Gialdi, Agustín I.; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Fernandez, Paula del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia (2017)
      Leaf senescence is a complex process controlled by multiple genetic and environmental variables. In different crops, a delay in leaf senescence has an important impact on grain yield trough the maintenance of the photosynthetic ...
    • Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals a Differential Gene Expression Profile Between Two Sunflower Inbred Lines with Different Ability to Tolerate Water Stress 

      Escalante, Maximiliano; Vigliocco, Ana Edit; Moschen, Sebastian Nicolas; Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Garcia-Garcia, Francisco; Di Rienzo, Julio A.; Andrade, Andrea; Alemano, Sergio Gabriel (Springer, 2020-01)
      Although sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is categorized as a medium drought-sensitive crop, in a changing climate scenario and/or with the onset of early droughts, the crop may be affected by water stress. This study ...
    • Unveiling the genetic basis of Sclerotinia head rot resistance in sunflower 

      Filippi, Carla Valeria; Zubrzycki, Jeremias Enrique; Di Rienzo, Julio Alejandro; Quiroz, Facundo Jose; Puebla, Andrea Fabiana; Alvarez, Daniel; Maringolo, Carla Andrea; Escande, Alberto; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Lia, Veronica Viviana (BMC, 2020-07)
      Background: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic fungus that causes Sclerotinia head rot (SHR) in sunflower, with epidemics leading to severe yield losses. In this work, we present an association mapping (AM) approach ...
