      Cabrera Mederos, Dariel; Bejerman, Nicolas Esteban; Trucco, Veronica Milagros; De Breuil, Soledad; Lenardon, Sergio Luis; Giolitti, Fabian (Springer, 2017-06)
      The complete genome sequence of sunflower ring blotch virus (SuRBV), a previously undescribed potyvirus infecting sunflower in Argentina, is reported. The SuRBV genome comprises 9555 nucleotides (nt) and encodes a polyprotein ...
    • Development of a full-length infectious clone of sunflower chlorotic mottle virus (SuCMoV) 

      Bejerman, Nicolas Esteban; Giolitti, Fabian; De Breuil, Soledad; Lenardon, Sergio Luis (Springer; Virology Division, International Union of Microbiological Societies, 2013-02)
      A full-length cDNA clone (p35SuCMoV) of the sunflower chlorotic mottle virus common strain (SuCMoV-C) genomic RNA was constructed. Three cDNA fragments covering the whole genome of SuCMoV-C were cloned between a cauliflower ...
    • First Report of Tobacco Streak Virus Infecting Sunflower in Argentina 

      Cabrera Mederos, Dariel; Trucco, Veronica Milagros; Bejerman, Nicolas Esteban; Lenardon, Sergio Luis; Giolitti, Fabian (American Phytopathological Society, 2019-11-21)
      Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is one of the main oleaginous crops in the world, and Argentina is positioned among the top sunflower seed producers worldwide (FAO 2019). During the 2018 to 2019 crop season, sunflower plants ...
    • Identification and molecular characterization of a phytoplasma associated with sunflower in Argentina 

      Guzmán, Fabiana; Giolitti, Fabian; Fernandez, Franco Daniel; Nome Docampo, Claudia; Lenardon, Sergio Luis; Conci, Luis Rogelio (Springer, 2014-04)
      Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants showing capitulum with virescence, phyllody and flower malformation, shortened internodes and abnormal branches were found in a field in Pedro Luro (Buenos Aires province, Argentina). ...
    • Phylodynamics of sunflower chlorotic mottle virus, an emerging pathosystem 

      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 ...
    • Sequencing of two Sunflower chlorotic mottle virus isolates obtained from different natural hosts shed light on its evolutionary history 

      Bejerman, Nicolas Esteban; Giolitti, Fabian; De Breuil, Soledad; Lenardon, Sergio Luis (Springer, 2013-02)
      Sunflower chlorotic mottle virus (SuCMoV), the most prevalent virus of sunflower in Argentina, was reported naturally infecting not only sunflower but also weeds. To understand SuCMoV evolution and improve the knowledge ...
