• Sunflower germin-like protein HaGLP1 promotes ROS accumulation and enhances protection against fungal pathogens in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana 

      Beracochea, Valeria Cecilia; Almasia, Natalia Ines; Peluffo, Lucila; Nahirñak, Vanesa; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Vazquez Rovere, Cecilia; Lia, Veronica Viviana (Springer, 2015-10)
      Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are a large, diverse and ubiquitous family of plant glycoproteins belonging to the Cupin super family. These proteins have been widely studied because of their diverse roles in important plant ...
    • Unveiling the defensive role of Snakin‑3, a member of the subfamily III of Snakin/GASA peptides in potatoes 

      Nahirñak, Vanesa; Almasia, Natalia Ines; Lia, Veronica Viviana; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Vazquez Rovere, Cecilia (Springer, 2024-02)
      Snakin/GASA proteins share 12 cysteines in conserved positions in the C-terminal region. Most of them were involved in different aspects of plant growth and development, while a small number of these peptides were reported ...
    • 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 ...
