Major cereal crops benefit from biological nitrogen fixation when inoculated with the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 X940
(2016)A main goal of biological nitrogen fixation research has been to expand the nitrogen-fixing ability to major cereal crops. In this work, we demonstrate the use of the efficient nitrogen-fixing rhizobacterium Pseudomonas ... -
Male Sexual Behavior and Pheromone Emission Is Enhanced by Exposure to Guava Fruit Volatiles in Anastrepha fraterculus
(Plos One, 2015-04)Background: Plant chemicals can affect reproductive strategies of tephritid fruit flies by influencing sex pheromone communication and increasing male mating competitiveness. Objective and Methodology: We explored whether ... -
Male sexual enhancement after methoprene treatment in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) : a sustained response that does not fade away after sexual maturation
(2017)The juvenile hormone (JH) of insects triggers physiological changes related to reproduction in adults of both sexes. Methoprene is a sesquiterpene with some effects that are analogous to those of JH. Treatments with ... -
Male–female separation with a genetic sexing strain of Medfly, Ceratitis capitata, based on the gene sw (slow)
(lsteg Scientific Publications, 2004)The rate of development of the Medfly, Ceratitis capitata, slows down in the presence of mutation slow, sw. Separation of fast-developing males from slow-developing females is possible when this locus on chromosome 2 is ... -
Mapping a gene on wheat chromosome 4BL involved in a complementary interaction with adult plant leaf rust resistance gene LrSV2
(Springer, 2018-08)A complementary gene to LrSV2 for specific adult plant leaf rust resistance in wheat was mapped on chromosome 4BL, tightly linked to Lr12 / 31. LrSV2 is a race-specific adult plant leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) resistance ... -
Mate choice confers direct benefits to females of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Public Library of Science, 2019-06)Exposure to plant compounds and analogues of juvenile hormone (JH) increase male mating success in several species of tephritid fruit flies. Most of these species exhibit a lek mating system, characterized by active female ... -
Mating-induced changes in responses of female Queensland fruit fly to male pheromones and fruit : a mechanism for mating-induced sexual inhibition
(Elsevier, 2021-03)In order to reproduce, female tephritid fruit flies need both mates for fertilization and fruit for oviposition. Virgin females are prone to mating and approach males, attracted by their pheromones. Mated females, however, ... -
Maximizing the expression of transgenic traits into elite alfalfa germplasm using a supertransgene configuration in heterozygous conditions
(2018-05)Numerous species of legumes, including alfalfa, are critical factors for agroecosystems due to their ability to grow without nitrogen fertilizers derived from non-renewable fossil fuels, their contribution of organic ... -
Methodology for the identification of relevant loci for milk traits in dairy cattle, using machine learning algorithms
(Elsevier, 2022)Machine learning methods were considered efficient in identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) underlying a trait of interest. This study aimed to construct predictive models using machine learning algorithms, to ... -
Microevolution rather than large genome divergence determines the effectiveness of legume–rhizobia symbiotic interaction under field conditions
(2017-08)Despite the vast screening for natural nitrogenfixing isolates by public and private consortia, no significant progresses in the production of improved nitrogenfixing inoculants for alfalfa production have been made in the ... -
Microsatellite markers from the ‘South American fruit fly’ Anastrepha fraterculusa: valuable tool for population genetic analysis and SIT applications
(BioMed Central, 2014-12-01)Background: Anastrepha fraterculus Wiedemann is a horticultural pest which causes significant economic losses in the fruit-producing areas of the American continent and limits the access of products to international markets. ... -
Minimizing the time and cost of production of transgenic alfalfa libraries using the highly efficient completely sequenced vector pPZP200BAR
(2016)Alfalfa is the most important forage legume worldwide. However, similar to other minor forage crops, it is usually harvested along with weeds, which decrease its nutrient quality and thus reduce its high value in the ... -
Modification of a previously patented method to unequivocally score A2-like and A1-like bovine β-casein variants
(Elsevier, 2023-04)A growing interest in the production and commercialization of A2 cow's milk has been observed in many countries in the last few years due to the beneficial properties for human health attributed to A2 β-casein variant. ... -
Morphometric and genetic characterization as tools for selection of Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) stocks in an area of natural hybridization in Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01)Beekeepers around the world select bees’ characteristics that facilitate and favor production. In regions where hybridization among lineages is taking place, this selection is a challenge, given that these regions are ... -
mRNA biogenesis-related helicase eIF4AIII from Arabidopsis thaliana is an important factor for abiotic stress adaptation
(2016)Similar to other plant species, Arabidopsis has a huge repertoire of predicted helicases, including the eIF4AIII factor, a putative component of the exon junction complex related to mRNA biogenesis. In this article, we ... -
Mutation Breeding for Sustainable Food Production in Latin America and the Caribbean Under Climate Change
(Springer Nature, 2023)The region of Latin America and the Caribbean is characterized by the great diversity of crops and environmental conditions where the crops coexist under the effects of different abiotic and biotic stresses, which impact ... -
