    • Development of a non-radioactive molecular hybridization probe for detecting Strawberry mottle virus in strawberry 

      Asinari, Florencia; Cafrune, Eva Encarnacion; Guzman, Fabiana; Conci, Luis Rogelio; Conci, Vilma Cecilia (2016)
      The vegetative propagation of strawberries favors transmission of systemic pathogens, such as viruses, which are one of the main yield-limiting factors for this crop. More than 20 viruses have been described as infecting ...
    • Impact of yellow leaf virus on sugarcane commercial fields 

      Asinari, Florencia; Perez Gomez, Sergio Gregorio; Easdale, C.; Rago, Alejandro Mario; Balzarini, Monica; Cafrune, Eva Encarnacion (Springer, 2020-11-17)
      A survey of Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) was conducted in northern Argentina in 2015 and 2016 using tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA). Results showed plant infection rates of 2.2–86.7% in sugarcane commercial fields ...
    • Incidence and prevalence of aphid-borne viruses infecting strawberry in Argentina 

      Luciani, Cecilia Elizabeth; Celli, Marcos Giovani; Torrico Ramallo, Ada Karina; Asinari, Florencia; Pozzi, Elizabeth Alicia; Peña Malavera, Andrea Natalia; Kirschbaum, Daniel Santiago; Perotto, Maria Cecilia; Conci, Vilma Cecilia (Wiley, 2018-07)

    • Low water availability increases susceptibility to peanut smut (Thecaphora frezzii) in peanut crop 

      Paredes, Juan Andrés; Guzzo, María Carla; Monguillot, Joaquín Humberto; Asinari, Florencia; Posada, Gisella A.; Oddino, Claudio M.; Giordano, Damian F.; Morichetti, Sergio A.; Torres, Adriana M.; Rago, Alejandro Mario; Monteoliva, Mariela Ines (Wiley, 2023-10-23)
      Peanut smut (causal agent Thecaphora frezzii) and seasonal drought are the two main factors reducing peanut yields in Argentina. There are no previous studies about the effect of drought on peanut smut occurrence. We ...
    • Relationship between incidence and severity of peanut smut and its regional distribution in the main growing region of Argentina 

      Paredes, Juan Andrés; Edwards Molina, Juan Pablo; Cazon, Luis Ignacio; Asinari, Florencia; Monguillot, Joaquín Humberto; Morichetti, Sergio A.; Rago, Alejandro Mario; Torres, Adriana M. (Springer, 2021-10-20)
      Peanut smut, caused by the soil-borne pathogen Thecaphora frezii, has increased in incidence in the main Argentinian peanut-growing regions. Smut-affected pod transform the kernel into a mass of teliospores, which survive ...
