(Elsevier, 2014-05-25)Rotavirus group A (RVA) is a major cause of diarrhea in humans and young animals including small ruminants. The purpose of this study was to identify RVA in dairy goat kids, and to characterize the complete genomic ... -
The fungal elicitor AsES requires a functional ethylene pathway to activate the innate immunity in strawberry
(Wiley, 2020-08)AsES (Acremonium strictum Elicitor Subtilisin) is a fungal elicitor that activates innate immunity conferring disease resistance in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.), Arabidopsis, and other plant species. The aim of ... -
The genomic analysis of a wide peach germplasm collection revealed genetic relationships between European landraces and American ferals and landraces
(ISHS, 2022-12)The advance of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies allows the implementation of high-throughput genotyping at a reasonable cost. This open the possibility to learn more about phylogenetic relationships, genetic ... -
The geographic distribution of Argas (Persicargas) miniatus and Argas (Persicargas) persicus (Acari: Argasidae) in America, with morphological and molecular diagnoses from Brazil, Chile and Cuba
(2018-01)High similarity of morphological traits has historically overshadowed the identities and distributions of poultry-associated soft ticks Argas (Persicargas) miniatus and Argas (Persicargas) persicus in America. In order to ... -
The global biogeography of tree leaf form and habit
(Springer Nature, 2023-11)Understanding what controls global leaf type variation in trees is crucial for comprehending their role in terrestrial ecosystems, including carbon, water and nutrient dynamics. Yet our understanding of the factors influencing ... -
The herbage productivity of tall fescue in the Pampas region of Argentina is correlated to its ecological niche
(Wiley, 2016-09)Since its introduction in the 1950s, tall fescue has spread throughout the Pampas region of Argentina to become naturalized in much of this region. Its annual forage mass productivity shows significant differences among ... -
The human flea Pulex irritans (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) in northwestern Argentina, with an investigation of Bartonella and Rickettsia spp. = La pulga humana Pulex irritans (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) en el noroeste argentino, una investigación de Bartonella y Rickettsia spp.
