• AcMNPV Core Gene ac109 Is Required for Budded Virion Transport to the Nucleus and for Occlusion of Viral Progeny 

      Alfonso, Victoria; Maroniche, Guillermo Andrés; Reca, Sol Rita; Lopez, Maria Gabriela; Del Vas, Mariana; Taboga, Oscar Alberto (Plos One, 2012-09)
      The Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) ac109 core gene has been previously characterized as an essential late gene. Our results showed that budded virions could be detected in supernatants of ...
    • Arabidopsis phenotyping through geometric morphometrics 

      Manacorda, Carlos Augusto; Asurmendi, Sebastian (Oxford University Press, 2018-07)
      Background: Recently, great technical progress has been achieved in the field of plant phenotyping. High-throughput platforms and the development of improved algorithms for rosette image segmentation make it possible to ...
    • Clade 8 and clade 6 strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 from cattle in Argentina have Hypervirulent-Like phenotypes 

      Amigo, Natalia; Mercado, Elsa Cristina; Bentancor, Adriana Beatriz; Singh, Pallavi; Vilte, Daniel Alejandro; Gerhardt, Elizabeth; Zotta, Elsa; Ibarra, Cristina Adriana; Manning, Shannon D.; Larzabal, Mariano; Cataldi, Angel Adrian (PLOS, 2015-06-01)
      The hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) whose main causative agent is enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a disease that mainly affects children under 5 years of age. Argentina is the country with the highest ...
    • Genomic comparison of two strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with contrasting pathogenic phenotype 

      Colombatti Olivieri, Maria Alejandra; Fresia, Pablo; Graña, Martín; Cuerda, Maria Ximena; Nagel, Ariel Gaston; Alvarado Pinedo, Maria Fiorella; Romano, Maria Isabel; Caimi, Karina Cynthia; Berná, Luisa; Santangelo, María De La Paz (Elsevier, 2023-01)
      In a previous study, we evaluated the degree of virulence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) strains isolated from cattle in Argentina in a murine model. This assay allowed us to differentiate between ...
    • On-field phenotypic evaluation of sunflower populations for broad-spectrum resistance to Verticillium leaf mottle and wilt 

      Montecchia, Juan Francisco; Fass, Monica Irina; Cerrudo, Ignacio; Quiroz, Facundo Jose; Nicosia, Salvador Maria; Maringolo, Carla Andrea; Di Rienzo, Julio A.; Troglia, Carolina Beatriz; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Escande, Alberto; Gonzalez, Julio Horacio; Alvarez, Daniel; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Lia, Veronica Viviana; Paniego, Norma Beatriz (Springer Nature, 2021-06)
      Sunflower Verticillium Wilt and Leaf Mottle (SVW), caused by Verticillium dahliae (Kleb.; Vd), is a soil-borne disease affecting sunflower worldwide. A single dominant locus, known as V1, was formerly effective in controlling ...
    • Phenotyping sunflower genetic resources for Sclerotinia head rot response: assessing variability for disease resistance breeding 

      Filippi, Carla Valeria; Zubrzycki, Jeremias Enrique; Di Rienzo, Julio A.; Quiroz, Facundo Jose; Fusari, Corina Mariana; Alvarez, Daniel; Maringolo, Carla Andrea; Cordes, Diego Darío; Escande, Alberto; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Lia, Veronica Viviana; Paniego, Norma Beatriz (The American Phytopathological Society, 2017-11)
      Sclerotinia head rot (SHR) is one of the most serious constraints to sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. var. macrocarpus) production worldwide. Here, we evaluated the response to SHR in a sunflower inbred panel from a large ...
    • Single nucleotide polymorphisms may explain the contrasting phenotypes of two variants of a multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain 

      Bigi, María Mercedes; López, Beatriz; Blanco, Federico Carlos; Sasiain, María del Carmen; De La Barrera, Silvia Susana; Marti, Marcelo Adrián; Sosa, Ezequiel Jorge; Fernandez Do Porto, Darío Augusto; Ritacco, Viviana; Bigi, Fabiana; Soria, Marcelo Abel (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 ...
    • Surface Display of AcMNPV Occlusion-Derived P74 Does Not Enhance Oral Infectivity of Budded Viruses 

      Alfonso, Victoria; Lopez, Maria Gabriela; Carrillo, Elisa Cristina; Taboga, Oscar Alberto (S. Karger AG, 2012-02)
      Baculovirus occlusion-derived viruses (ODVs) and budded viruses (BVs) are morphologically and functionally distinct. ODVs are responsible for primary infection in insect hosts because of their high per os infectivity. On ...
    • Two distinctive phenotypes of AcMNPV display different immune abilities and intracellular destiny 

      Molina, Guido Nicolas; Tavarone, Maria Eugenia; Taboga, Oscar Alberto; Molinari, Maria Paula (2016-12-29)
      The budded phenotype (BV) of the baculovirus AcMNPV has been demonstrated to have strong immunostimulatory properties that are relevant for the development of vaccines and antiviral therapies. Although the occluded ...
