Genetic and productive background of Criollo cattle in Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay and the United States
(Elsevier, 2022-05)Cattle were first introduced to the Western Hemisphere in 1493 and by subsequent introductions from the Iberian Peninsula, providing the genetic background of the American Criollo cattle, with influences from Spanish, ... -
El grooming: enemigo de la varroa
(Sociedad Argentina de Apicultores, 2021-07)Una de las enfermedades que mayores pérdidas ocasiona a la industria apícola es la Varroosis, causada por el ácaro Varroa destructor. La selección de colonias por el comportamiento de grooming puede ser una respuesta a ... -
Relevant loci for milk production in dairy cattle, obtained by machine learning algorithms
(Network of Women in Bioinformatics and Data Science, 2021-09)Background: Extensive genetic research focused on identifyng associations between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers located all over the genome and milk traits were conducted for different dairy cattle breeds. ... -
Machine learning algorithms identified relevant SNPs for milk fat content in cattle
(Sociedad Argentina de Informática, 2021-10)In recent years, machine learning methods have been shown to be efficient in identifying a subset of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) underlying a trait of interest. The aim of this study was the construction of ... -
Bacterially expressed dsRNA induces Varroa destructor gene knockdown by honey bee-mediated oral administration
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-02)The ectoparasite Varroa destructor causes serious losses of Apis mellifera colonies and negatively impacts the beekeeping industry around the world. New control methods have been proposed based on the RNA interference ... -
A point of view on genetic resources and plant breeding
(Sociedade Brasileira de Floricultura e Plantas Ornamentais, 2022-03)Biodiversity is the set of living organisms that make up our battered planet and their interactions with the environment. It is made up of the Kingdoms: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Monera. It provides the energy ... -
The barley chloroplast mutator (cpm) mutant: all roads lead to the Msh1 gene
(MDPI, 2022-02)The barley chloroplast mutator (cpm) is a nuclear gene mutant that induces a wide spectrum of cytoplasmically inherited chlorophyll deficiencies. Plastome instability of cpm seedlings was determined by identification of a ... -
Analysis of the gut bacterial community of wild larvae of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1: effect of host fruit, environment, and prominent stable associations of the genera Wolbachia, Tatumella, and Enterobacter
(Frontiers Media, 2022-03)The genus Anastrepha (Diptera Tephritidae) includes some of the most important fruit fly pests in the Americas. Here, we studied the gut bacterial community of 3rd instar larvae of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 through Next ... -
Identification and characterization of soluble binding proteins associated with host foraging in the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Plos, 2021-06)The communication and reproduction of insects are driven by chemical sensing. During this process, chemical compounds are transported across the sensillum lymph to the sensory neurons assisted by different types of soluble ... -
Phylogenetic relationships of Argentinean Creole with other Latin American Creole Cattle as revealed by a medium density SNP microarray
(Asociación Latinoamericana de Producción Animal, 2021)The demographic history of the Criollo cattle in Argentina and in Latin America in general dates back to the time of Spanish colonization. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential use of a medium-density ... -
Research gaps and new insights in the evolution of Drosophila seminal fluid proteins
(Wiley, 2021-11)While the striking effects of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) on females are fairly conserved among Diptera, most SFPs lack detectable homologues among the SFP repertoires of phylogenetically distant species. How such a ... -
Whole-Genome Resequencing of Spontaneous Oxidative Stress-Resistant Mutants Reveals an Antioxidant System of Bradyrhizobium japonicum Involved in Soybean Colonization
(Springer, 2021-11)Soybean is the most inoculant-consuming crop in the world, carrying strains belonging to the extremely related species Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens. Currently, it is well known that B. japonicum ... -
Timing of exposure and nutritional status affect male response to guava volatiles, a known courtship enhancer of Anastrepha fraterculus
(Springer, 2021-06)Finding ways to improve the sexual competitiveness of laboratory reared males have proven beneficial for the sterile insect technique. Exposure to essential oils enhances male mating success in several species of Tephritidae ... -
An isopentenyl transferase transgenic wheat isoline exhibits less seminal root growth impairment and a differential metabolite profile under Cd stress
(Wiley, 2021-09)Cadmium is one of the most important contaminants and it induces severe plant growth restriction. In this study, we analyzed the metabolic changes associated with root growth restriction caused by cadmium in the early ... -
Lemon and Schinus polygama essential oils enhance male mating success of Anastrepha fraterculus
(Wiley, 2020-11-27)The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly pest control method that relies on the introduction of sterility into the pest population by the release of sterile males. Many Tephritidae fruit fly pests ... -
Stress-induced expression of IPT gene in transgenic wheat reduces grain yield penalty under drought
(Springer, 2021-05)Background: The heterologous expression of isopentenyl transferase (IPT) under the transcriptional control of the senescence-associated receptor-like kinase (SARK) promoter delayed cellular senescence and, through it, ... -
Dependence of egg hatching on Wolbachia density in a parthenogenetic weevil revealed by antibiotic treatment
(Wiley, 2021-04)Naupactini is a tribe of Neotropical broad‐nosed weevils highly diverse in South America. This group includes several parthenogenetic species, some of them harmful for agriculture and invasive around the world. Although ... -
Host discrimination in the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata : evidence from virgin female behaviour and egg distribution patterns
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-04)Many parasitoid species discriminate already parasitized hosts, thus avoiding larval competition. However, females incur in superparasitism under certain circumstances. Superparasitism is commonly observed in the artificial ... -
Mating-induced changes in responses of female Queensland fruit fly to male pheromones and fruit : a mechanism for mating-induced sexual inhibition
