      The discovery of commercial transgenic varieties of orange petunias sold in Europe and the United States although they had never reached the approved status, and the consequent recommendation to destroy them, was the trigger ...
    • CRISPR/Cas9‑mediated knockout of SPL13 radically increases lettuce yield 

      Beracochea, Valeria Cecilia; Stritzler, Margarita; Radonic, Laura Mabel; Bottero, Ana Emilia; Jozefkowicz, Cintia; Darqui, Flavia Soledad; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel; Lopez Bilbao, Marisa Gisela; Soto, Gabriela Cynthia (Springer, 2022-12)
      Cultivated lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a diploid (2n = 2x = 18), autogamous species. This popular leafy vegetable is considered one of the first crops (Guo et al. 2022). Currently, lettuce is the third most consumed ...
    • Genome-wide and comparative phylogenetic analysis of senescence-associated NAC transcription factors in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) 

      Bengoa Luoni, Sofía Ailin; Cenci, Alberto; Moschen, Sebastian Nicolas; Nicosia, Salvador Maria; Radonic, Laura Mabel; Sabio Y Garcia, Julia Veronica; Langlade, Nicolas B.; Vile, Denis; Vazquez Rovere, Cecilia; Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen (Springer, 2021-12)
      Background: Leaf senescence delay impacts positively in grain yield by maintaining the photosynthetic area during the reproductive stage and during grain filling. Therefore a comprehensive understanding of the gene families ...
    • Nuevas estrategias para la transformación y expresión de genes de interés en girasol 

      Radonic, Laura Mabel (Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2011-09)
      El girasol es una especie de la familia Asteraceae (Compositae) de gran importancia económica, considerada hasta hace una década recalcitrante al cultivo in vitro y la transformación genética. En un trabajo previo (Radonic, ...
