A novel association of BoLA DRB3 alleles in BLV infected cattle with different proviral loads
(2017)Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is associated with the most common neoplastic disease of cattle. BLV has a silent dissemination in the herd due to infected cell exchange, thus the concentration of BLV-infected cells in blood ... -
Stable symbiotic nitrogen fixation under water-deficit field conditions by a stress-tolerant alfalfa microsymbiont and its complete genome sequence : Short communication
(2017-12)We here characterized the stress-tolerant alfalfa microsymbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti B401. B401-treated plants showed high nitrogen fixation rates under humid and semiarid environments. The production of glycine betaine ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Engineering Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 for nitrogen fixation and its application to improve plant growth under nitrogen-deficient conditions
(2013-05-13)Nitrogen is the second most critical factor for crop production after water. In this study, the beneficial rhizobacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 was genetically modified to fix nitrogen using the genes encoding the ... -
BOLA-DRB3 gene polymorphisms influence bovine leukaemia virus infection levels in Holstein and Holstein × Jersey crossbreed dairy cattle
(2017-05)Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infections, causing persistent lymphocytosis and lethal lymphosarcoma in cattle, have reached high endemicity on dairy farms. We observed extensive inter-individual variation in the level of ... -
Genetic diversity in a world germplasm collection of tall fescue
(2013)Festuca arundinacea Schreb., commonly known as tall fescue, is a major forage crop in temperate regions. Recently, a molecular analysis of different accessions of a world germplasm collection of tall fescue has demonstrated ... -
Association of TNF-α gene promoter region polymorphisms in bovine leukemia virus (BLV)-infected cattle with different proviral loads
(2015-08)Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the immune response against viral and other infections. Its expression levels are affected by a polymorphism in the promoter region of the gene. ... -
Genetic characterisation of PPARG, CEBPA and RXRA, and their influence on meat quality traits in cattle
(2016)Antecedentes: peroxisoma receptor gamma activado por el proliferador (PPARg), unión a CCAAT / potenciador de la proteína alfa (CEBPA) y el receptor de retinoides X alfa (RXRA) son factores de transcripción nuclear que ... -
Effect of polyploidization in the production of essential oils in Lippia integrifolia
(2016-03)Consumption of medicinal and aromatic plants is widespread and increasing worldwide. Yet, harvesting from the wild, the main source of raw material in developing countries, is causing loss of genetic diversity and habitat ... -
Patterns of resource distribution among conspecific larvae in two fruit fly species : Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata (diptera: tephritidae)
(2016)1 Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) are fruit fly pests whose larvae are frequently found sharing the same fruit with conspecifics. Because larvae are incapable of ... -
Composición química del grano de maíces especiales desarrollados en la Argentina para la industria alimentaria
(2016-08)En los últimos años el mercado de maíces de uso especial (VEC) muestra un crecimiento sostenido y una mayor influencia tanto en las economías regionales como a nivel global. La calidad de los productos alimenticios depende ... -
Análisis composicional cuanti-cualitativo de los macronutrientes del grano de híbridos de maíz con valor mejorado (VEC) desarrollados para la industria alimentaria argentina
(2016-06)El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido determinar la calidad química del grano y de las harinas y aceites obtenidos de diferentes híbridos de maíz con valor mejorado. Entre 20012/13 a 2014/15 se condujeron ensayos de campo ... -
Science based criteria for a simplified risk assessment of genetic engineered crops developed using identical or similar constructs
(2016-08)Experience with Agricultural Biotechnology and the widespread adoption of different genetically engineered (GE) crops around the world has enabled breeders to develop different crops with similar phenotypic characteristics ... -
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 ... -
Water deficit stress tolerance in maize conferred by expression of an anisopentenyltransferase (IPT) gene driven by a stress- and maturation-induced promoter
(2016)Senescence can be delayed in transgenic plants overexpressing the enzyme isopentenyltransferase (IPT) due to stress-induced increased levels of endogenous cytokinins. This trait leads to sustained photo-synthetic activity ... -
In vitro propagation of Lippia integrifolia (Griseb.) Hier. and detection of genetic instability through ISSR markers of in vitro-cultured plants.
(2016)Aromatic and medicinal plants have been traditionally harvested from the wild and, in Argentina, they have been exploited without any major limitation. In vitro plant propagation is an easy and inexpensive method to obtain ... -
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 ... -
Development of a construct-based risk assessment framework for genetic engineered crops
(2016)Experience gained in the risk assessment (RA) of genetically engineered (GE) crops since their first experimental introductions in the early nineties, has increased the level of familiarity with these breeding methodologies ... -
