      Acuña, Cintia Vanesa; Villalba, Pamela Victoria; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Marcucci Poltri, Susana Noemi (Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (España), 2014)
      AIM OF STUDY: To analyze the feasibility of extrapolating conclusions on wood quality genetic control between different Eucalyptus species, particularly from species with better genomic information, to those less characterized. ...
    • Transgenic citrange troyer rootstocks overexpressing antimicrobial potato snakin-1 show reduced citrus canker disease symptoms 

      Conti, Gabriela; Gardella, Victoria; Vandecaveye, Melina Antonella; Gomez, Claudio Andres; Joris, Giovanna Lujan; Hauteville, Claudia; Burdyn, Lourdes; Almasia, Natalia Ines; Nahirñak, Vanesa; Vazquez Rovere, Cecilia; Gochez, Alberto Martin; Furman, Nicolas; Lezcano, Cecilia Carolina; Kobayashi, Ken; García, María Laura; Canteros, Blanca Isabel; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Reyes, Carina Andrea (Elsevier, 2020-12)
      Citrus canker is a major disease caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. citri. Snakin-1 is an antimicrobial peptide, which was previously shown to be effective against different bacterial and fungal diseases in potato, wheat and ...
    • 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 ...
    • Validation of reference genes for quantitative PCR in Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense L.) under glyphosate stress 

      Ulrich, Maria Noelia; Muñiz-Padilla, Esteban; Corach, Alejandra; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Tosto, Daniela Sandra (MDPI, 2021-08)
      Weeds are one of the main causes of the decrease in crop yields, with Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense L.) being one of the most significant. Weeds can be controlled by herbicides, but some have developed resistance. ...
    • Virus infection elevates transcriptional activity of miR164a promoter in plants 

      Bazzini, Ariel Alejandro; Almasia, Natalia Ines; Manacorda, Carlos Augusto; Mongelli, Vanesa Claudia; Conti, Gabriela; Maroniche, Guillermo Andrés; Rodriguez, Maria Cecilia; Distefano, Ana Julia; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Del Vas, Mariana; Asurmendi, Sebastian (BioMed Central, 2009-12)
      Background: Micro RNAs (miRs) constitute a large group of endogenous small RNAs that have crucial roles in many important plant functions. Virus infection and transgenic expression of viral proteins alter accumulation and ...
