• 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 ...
    • Genome-wide and comparative phylogenetic analysis of senescence-associated NAC transcription factors in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) 

      Bengoa Luoni, Sofía Ailin; Cenci, Alberto; Moschen, Sebastian Nicolas; Nicosia, Salvador Maria; Radonic, Laura Mabel; Sabio Y Garcia, Julia Veronica; Langlade, Nicolas B.; Vile, Denis; Vazquez Rovere, Cecilia; Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen (Springer, 2021-12)
      Background: Leaf senescence delay impacts positively in grain yield by maintaining the photosynthetic area during the reproductive stage and during grain filling. Therefore a comprehensive understanding of the gene families ...
    • 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. ...
    • Integrating transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis to understand natural leaf senescence in sunflower 

      Moschen, Sebastian; Gonzalez, Sergio Alberto; Rivarola, Maximo Lisandro; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Fernandez, Paula del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Bengoa Luoni, Sofia Ailin; Di Rienzo, Julio A.; Caro, María del Pilar; Tohge, Takayuki; Watanabe, Mutsumi; Hollmann, Julien; García-García, Francisco; Dopazo, Joaquín; Hoefgen, Rainer; Fernie, Alisdair R. (2016)
      Leaf senescence is a complex process, which has dramatic consequences on crop yield. In sunflower, gap between potential and actual yields reveals the economic impact of senescence. Indeed, sunflower plants are incapable ...
    • Main and epistatic QTL analyses for Sclerotinia Head Rot resistance in sunflower 

      Zubrzycki, Jeremias Enrique; Maringolo, Carla Andrea; Filippi, Carla Valeria; Quiroz, Facundo Jose; Nishinakamasu, Veronica; Puebla, Andrea Fabiana; Di Rienzo, Julio Alejandro; Escande, Alberto; Lia, Veronica Viviana; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Cervigni, Gerardo Domingo Lucio; Paniego, Norma Beatriz (PLOS, 2017-12)
      Sclerotinia Head Rot (SHR), a disease caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most limiting factors in sunflower production. In this study, we identified genomic loci associated with resistance to SHR to support ...
    • Peculiarities of the Transformation of Asteraceae Family Species: The Cases of Sunflower and Lettuce 

      Darqui, Flavia Soledad; Radonic, Laura Mabel; Beracochea, Valeria Cecilia; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Lopez Bilbao, Marisa Gisela (Frontiers Publishing, 2021-11)
      The Asteraceae family is the largest and most diversified family of the Angiosperms, characterized by the presence of numerous clustered inflorescences, which have the appearance of a single compound flower. It is estimated ...
    • 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 ...
