      Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis and is a member of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, which causes tuberculosis in a number of mammals including humans. Previous studies have shown that ...
    • Development, characterization and experimental validation of a cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) gene expression oligonucleotide microarray 

      Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen; Soria, Marcelo Abel; Blesa, David; Di Rienzo, Julio A.; Moschen, Sebastian Nicolas; Rivarola, Maximo Lisandro; Clavijo, Bernardo; Gonzalez, Sergio; Peluffo, Lucila; Principi, Dario; Dosio, Guillermo; Aguirrezabal, Luis; García-García, Francisco; Conesa, Ana; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Dopazo, Joaquín; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Paniego, Norma Beatriz (PLOS One, 2012-10)
      Oligonucleotide-based microarrays with accurate gene coverage represent a key strategy for transcriptional studies in orphan species such as sunflower, H. annuus L., which lacks full genome sequences. The goal of this study ...
    • Exploring sunflower responses to Sclerotinia head rot at early stages of infection using RNA‑seq analysis 

      Fass, Monica Irina; Rivarola, Maximo Lisandro; Ehrenbolger, Guillermo Federico; Maringolo, Carla Andrea; Montecchia, Juan Francisco; Quiroz, Facundo Jose; García‑García, Francisco; Dopazo Blázquez, Joaquín; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Lia, Veronica Viviana (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 ...
    • Genome-wide identification of MITE-derived microRNAs and their targets in bread wheat 

      Crescente, Juan Manuel; Zavallo, Diego; Del Vas, Mariana; Asurmendi, Sebastian; Helguera, Marcelo; Fernandez, Elmer; Vanzetti, Leonardo Sebastian (BioMed Central, 2022-02)
      Background: Plant miRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that can repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by targeting RNA degradation or promoting translational repression. There is increasing ...
    • Identification of candidate genes associated with leaf senescence in cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) 

      Moschen, Sebastian; Bengoa Luoni, Sofia Ailin; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Dosio, Guillermo Aníbal Adrián; Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia (PLOS, 2014)
      Cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), an important source of edible vegetable oil, shows rapid onset of senescence, which limits production by reducing photosynthetic capacity under specific growing conditions. ...
    • Reference gene selection for gene expression studies using RT-qPCR in virus-infected planthoppers 

      Maroniche, Guillermo Andrés; Sagadin, Monica Beatriz; Mongelli, Vanesa Claudia; Truol, Graciela Ana Maria; Del Vas, Mariana (BioMed Central, 2011-12)
      Background: Planthoppers not only severely affect crops by causing mechanical damage when feeding but are also vectors of several plant virus species. The analysis of gene expression in persistently infected planthoppers ...
    • Tomato Abscisic Acid Stress ripening (ASR) gene family revisited 

      Golan, Ido; Dominguez, Pia Guadalupe; Konrad, Zvia; Shkolnik Inbar, Doron; Carrari, Fernando; Bar Zvi, Dudy (PLOS, 2014-10-13)
      Tomato ABSCISIC ACID RIPENING 1 (ASR1) was the first cloned plant ASR gene. ASR orthologs were then cloned from a large number of monocot, dicot and gymnosperm plants, where they are mostly involved in response to abiotic ...
    • Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals a Differential Gene Expression Profile Between Two Sunflower Inbred Lines with Different Ability to Tolerate Water Stress 

      Escalante, Maximiliano; Vigliocco, Ana Edit; Moschen, Sebastian Nicolas; Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Garcia-Garcia, Francisco; Di Rienzo, Julio A.; Andrade, Andrea; Alemano, Sergio Gabriel (Springer, 2020-01)
      Although sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is categorized as a medium drought-sensitive crop, in a changing climate scenario and/or with the onset of early droughts, the crop may be affected by water stress. This study ...
    • 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. ...
