Salicylic acid determines differential senescence produced by two turnip mosaic virus strains involving reactive oxygen species and early transcriptomic changes
(2013-12)Losses produced by virus diseases depend mostly on symptom severity. Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is one of the most damaging and widespread potyvirus infecting members of the family Brassicaceae, including Arabidopsis ... -
SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein enhances the oncolytic activity of the vesicular stomatitis virus
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01)Despite recent advances in the research on oncolytic viruses (OVs), a better understanding of how to enhance their replication is key to improving their therapeutic index. Understanding viral replication is important to ... -
Secretome profile of Cellulomonas sp. B6 growing on lignocellulosic substrates
(Wiley; Society for Applied Microbiology, 2018-12)Aims: Lignocellulosic biomass deconstruction is a bottleneck for obtaining biofuels and value‐added products. Our main goal was to characterize the secretome of a novel isolate, Cellulomonas sp. B6, when grown on residual ... -
Seed dormancy QTL identification across a Sorghum bicolor segregating population
(2016)Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in Sorghum bicolor is one of the main constrains for its production in the central region of Argentina, as grain maturation often coincides with rainy or high environmental humidity conditions. ... -
Sequence analysis of genome segments S5 and S10 of Mal de Río Cuarto virus (Fijivirus, Reoviridae)
(Springer, 2005-06)Mal de Río Cuarto virus (MRCV) was recently described as a new species of the genus Fijivirus, family Reoviridae. The nucleotide sequence of two MRCV genome segments was determined. MRCV S5 and S10 were predicted to encode ... -
Silencing of the tomato Sugar Partitioning Affecting protein (SPA) modifies sink strength through a shift in leaf sugar metabolism
(Wiley; Society for Experimental Biology, 2014-03)Limitations in our understanding about the mechanisms that underlie source-sink assimilate partitioning are increasingly becoming a major hurdle for crop yield enhancement via metabolic engineering. By means of a ... -
Simplified methodology for large scale isolation of homozygous transgenic lines of lettuce
(2018-01)Background: Lettuce is a globally important leafy vegetable and a model plant for biotechnology due to its adaptability to tissue culture and stable genetic transformation. Lettuce is also crucial for functional genomics ... -
Single nucleotide polymorphisms may explain the contrasting phenotypes of two variants of a multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain
(2017)Globally, about 4.5% of new tuberculosis (TB) cases are multi-drug-resistant (MDR), i.e. resistant to the two most powerful first-line anti-TB drugs. Indeed, 480,000 people developed MDR-TB in 2015 and 190,000 people died ... -
Snakin-1 affects reactive oxygen species and ascorbic acid levels and hormone balance in potato
(PLOS, 2019-03-25)Snakin-1 is a member of the Solanum tuberosum Snakin/GASA family. We previously demonstrated that Snakin-1 is involved in plant defense to pathogens as well as in plant growth and development, but its mechanism of action ... -
Snakin/GASA proteins : involvement in hormone crosstalk and redox homeostasis
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Snakin/GASA proteins are widely distributed among plant species. They are expressed in different plant organs with high tissue and temporal specificity, and their subcellular localization varies among the different members. ... -
SNP genotyping by heteroduplex analysis
(Springer, 2015-10)Heteroduplex-based genotyping methods have proven to be technologically effective and economically efficient for low- to medium-range throughput single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) determination. In this chapter we describe ... -
Spatial distribution of Mycobacterium bovis spoligotypes in cattle from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil
(Springer, 2022-07)Genotyping methods have led to a better understanding of the epidemiology of Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) infection, and its transmission dynamics, as well as the possible phylogenetic relationships between Mycobacterium ... -
Spontaneous Mutations in the Nitrate Reductase Gene napC Drive the Emergence of Eco-friendly Low-N2O-Emitting Alfalfa Rhizobia in Regions with Different Climates
(Springer, 2020)We have recently shown that commercial alfalfa inoculants (e.g., Sinorhizobium meliloti B399), which are closely related to the denitrifier model strain Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021, have conserved nitrate, nitrite, and ... -
State of the art of genetic engineering in potato: from the first report to its future potential
(Frontiers Media, 2022-01)Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a crop of world importance that produces tubers of high nutritional quality. It is considered one of the promising crops to overcome the challenges of poverty and hunger worldwide. However, ... -
Structural and molecular dynamics investigations of ligand stabilization via secondary binding site interactions in Paenibacillus xylanivorans GH11 xylanase
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are essential for plant biomass deconstruction. GH11 family consist of endo-β-1,4-xylanases which hydrolyze xylan, the second most abundant cell wall biopolymer after cellulose, into small ... -
Study of coinfection with local strains of infectious bursal disease virus and infectious bronchitis virus in specific pathogen-free chickens
(Elsevier, 2023-12)Immunosuppressive diseases cause great losses in the poultry industry, increasing the susceptibility to infections by other pathogens and promoting a suboptimal response to vaccination. Among them, infectious bursal disease ... -
Study of the in vivo role of Mce2R, the transcriptional regulator of mce2 operon in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(BMC, 2013-09)Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality throughout the world. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the agent of human tuberculosis, has developed strategies involving proteins and other compounds called ... -
Subfunctionalization probably drives the emergence of plant growth‑promoting genes
