Development of diagnostic tools for IBDV detection using plants as bioreactors
(SpringerOpen, 2020-05)Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is the etiological agent of an immunosuppressive and highly contagious disease that affects young birds, thus causing important economic losses in the poultry industry. Multimeric ... -
Genomic re-assessment of the transposable element landscape of the potato genome
(Springer, 2020-05)Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences with the ability to autoreplicate and move throughout the host genome. TEs are major drivers in stress response and genome evolution. Given their significance, the development ... -
Comparative analysis of the midgut microbiota of two natural tick vectors of Rickettsia rickettsii
(Elsevier, 2020-05)Although the ticks Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma aureolatum are important vectors of Rickettsia rickettsii, causative agent of the life-threatening Rocky Mountain spotted fever, A. aureolatum is considerably more ... -
BoLA-DRB3 exon2 polymorphisms among tuberculous cattle: Nucleotide and functional variability and their association with bovine tuberculosis pathology
(Elsevier, 2020-06)Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is caused by Mycobacterium bovis and disseminated worldwide. In Argentina, the highest prevalence occurs in dairy areas. BoLA DRB3.2 is related to the adaptive immunity in mycobacterial infections. ... -
Unveiling the genetic basis of Sclerotinia head rot resistance in sunflower
(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 ... -
Potato snakin‑1: an antimicrobial player of the trade‑off between host defense and development
(Springer, 2020-07)Snakin-1 (SN1) from potato is a cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide with high evolutionary conservation. It has 63 amino acid residues, 12 of which are cysteines capable of forming six disulfide bonds. SN1 localizes in the ... -
Phytochrome-dependent temperature perception modulates isoprenoid metabolism
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2020-07)Changes in environmental temperature influence many aspects of plant metabolism; however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. In addition to their role in light perception, phytochromes (PHYs) ... -
Use of molecular tools for the diagnosis of rangeliosis by Rangelia vitalii in Argentina: A case report
(Elsevier, 2020-07)Vector-borne pathogens are responsible for serious emerging diseases and Rangelia vitalii, the etiologic agent of canine rangeliosis, is one of the most pathogenic tick-borne pathogens for dogs in South America. This ... -
Characterization of two GH5 endoglucanases from termite microbiome using synthetic metagenomics
(Springer, 2020-08)Here, we characterize two novel GH5 endoglucanases (GH5CelA and GH5CelB) from an uncultured bacterium identified in termite gut microbiomes. Both genes were codon-optimized, synthetized, cloned, and expressed as recombinant ... -
Baculovirus AcMNPV induces type I interferons and NK/NKT cells-mediated protection against foot-and-mouth disease virus in mice
(Elsevier, 2020-08)Foot-and-mouth disease is a viral illness that affects cloven-hoofed animals causing serious economic losses. Inactivated vaccines against its causative agent, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), require approximately ... -
The ALS gene as genetic target in CRISPR/ cas approaches: what have we learned so far?
(Crimson Publishers, 2020-08)Specific mutations in the conserved domains of the acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene conduct to different key amino acid substitutions that can confer herbicide resistance in different plant species. This outcome has been ... -
Evaluation of hydrolytic enzyme activities from digestive fluids of Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Wiley, 2020-08)The cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, is a major pest of cotton crops in South America. In this work, partial biochemical characterizations of (hemi) cellulases and pectinases activities in the digestive system (head‐ ... -
Exploring sunflower responses to Sclerotinia head rot at early stages of infection using RNA‑seq analysis
(Springer Nature, 2020-08)Sclerotinia head rot (SHR), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most devastating sunflower crop diseases. Despite its worldwide occurrence, the genetic determinants of plant resistance ... -
Does Mycobacterium bovis persist in cattle in a non-replicative latent state as Mycobacterium tuberculosis in human beings?
(Elsevier, 2020-08)Members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) are responsible for tuberculosis in several mammals. In this complex, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis, which are closely related, show host ... -
RdDM pathway components differentially modulate Tobamovirus symptom development
(Springer, 2020-08)Small RNAs (sRNAs) are important molecules for gene regulation in plants and play an essential role in plant-pathogen interactions. Researchers have evaluated the relationship between viral infections as well as the ... -
Efficient method for targeted gene disruption by homologous recombination in Mycobacterium avium subspecie paratuberculosis
