      Cabrera Mederos, Dariel; Torres, Carolina; Bejerman, Nicolas Esteban; Trucco, Veronica Milagros; Lenardon, Sergio Luis; Leiva Mora, Michel; Giolitti, Fabian (Elsevier, 2020-03-12)
      Distribution and epidemiological patterns of sunflower chlorotic mottle virus (SCMoV) in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) growing areas in Argentina were studied from 2006 to 2017. The virus was detected exclusively in ...
    • Redefining the medicago sativa alphapartitiviruses genome sequences 

      Bejerman, Nicolas Esteban; Debat, Humberto Julio; Nome Docampo, Claudia; Cabrera Mederos, Dariel; Trucco, Veronica Milagros; De Breuil, Soledad; Lenardon, Sergio Luis; Giolitti, Fabian (Elsevier, 2019-03-29)
      In Argentina, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a primary forage crop and a major feed component in dairy and beef cattle production systems. In 2010, we observed alfalfa plants showing symptoms of shortened internodes (bushy ...
    • Sequencing of two Sunflower chlorotic mottle virus isolates obtained from different natural hosts shed light on its evolutionary history
