(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2022-12)Sweet potato yellow curling (YC), the most severe disease of sweet potato detected in Argentina, causes symptoms and damage to sweet potato crops in all cultivated regions. Since 2010/11, the presence of four viruses has ... -
First report of Xanthomonas prunicola causing bacterial leaf streaks on wheat in Argentina
(American Phytopathological Society, 2022-06-13)Since 2018, bacterial-like symptoms, such as leaf streaks were observed on wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.) in Córdoba province in Argentina, with 1 to 5% of disease incidence. Samples of wheat stem and spike collected ... -
Examples of Risk Tools for Pests in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Developed for Five Countries Using Microsoft Excel
(Entomological Society of America, 2022-08-03)Suppressing pest populations below economically-damaging levels is an important element of sustainable peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) production. Peanut farmers and their advisors often approach pest management with similar ... -
An Unwanted Association: The Threat to Papaya Crops by a Novel Potexvirus in Northwest Argentina
(MDPI, 2022-10-19)An emerging virus isolated from papaya (Carica papaya) crops in northwestern (NW) Argentina was sequenced and characterized using next-generation sequencing. The resulting genome is 6667-nt long and encodes five open reading ... -
Quantifying the negative impact of clinical diseases on productive and reproductive performance of dairy cows in central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2022-03-15)In dairy herds, cattle experience different health disorders, and their occurrence during lactation may cause important economic losses. The systematic analysis of productive and health records allows us to identify the ... -
Mycoparasitic Trichoderma isolates as a biocontrol agent against Valsa ceratosperma, the causal agent of apple valsa canker
(Springer, 2022-05-27)Apple valsa canker, caused by the fungus Valsa ceratosperma, is one of the most destructive diseases of this crop. Conventional fungicide treatments are not effective enough; therefore, it is necessary to develop alternatives ... -
Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Northwestern Argentina
(Elsevier, 2022-09-28)Studies about the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 lineages in different backgrounds such as naive populations are still scarce, especially from South America. This work aimed to study the introduction and diversification pattern ... -
An in silico analysis revealed a novel evolutionary lineage of putative mitoviruses
(Wiley, 2022-09-09)Mitoviruses (family Mitoviridae) are small capsid-less RNA viruses that replicate in the mitochondria of fungi and plants. However, to date, the only authentic animal mitovirus infecting an insect was identified as Lutzomyia ... -
Recommendations for empowering early career researchers to improve research culture and practice
(Plos ONE, 2022-07-07)Early career researchers (ECRs) are important stakeholders leading efforts to catalyze systemic change in research culture and practice. Here, we summarize the outputs from a virtual unconventional conference (unconference), ... -
A glimpse into the DNA virome of the unique “living fossil” Welwitschia mirabilis
(Elsevier, 2022-08-10)Here, we report the identification and characterization of four novel DNA viruses from Welwitschia mirabilis transcriptomic and genomic datasets. Complete circular virus-like sequences with affinity to members of ... -
Development of a soil quality index for sequences with different levels of land occupation using soil chemical, physical and microbiological properties
(Elsevier, 2022-08-04)The sustainable intensification of agricultural systems through crop rotations and/or the use of winter service crops can contribute to the diversification of the systems. This alteration of the surface layer creates ... -
Diversity and epidemiology of plant rhabdoviruses
(Elsevier, 2020-03-19)Plant rhabdoviruses are recognized by their large bacilliform particles and for being able to replicate in both their plant hosts and arthropod vectors. This review highlights selected, better studied examples of plant ... -
Biological, Molecular and Phiysiological Characterization of Four Soybean mosaic virus Isolates Present in Argentine Soybean Crops
(BioRxiv, 2021-06-10)Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) causes systemic infections in soybean plants, leading to chlorotic mosaic and producing significant yield losses. The virus is widely distributed in all soybean production areas in the world. In ... -
Bean yellow mosaic virus infecting broad bean in the green belt of Córdoba, Argentina
(BioRxiv, 2019-04-11)Broad bean (Vicia faba L) is the fourth most important pulse crop in the world. In Argentina, broad bean production was of 1,841 hectares and 16,500 tons during the 2017 growing season. Broad bean is commonly used in ... -
Exploring the tymovirales landscape through metatranscriptomics data
(Springer, 2022-06-16)Tymovirales is an order of viruses with positive-sense RNA genomes that mostly infect plants, but also fungi and insects. The number of genome sequences of viruses that could fit this taxon has been growing in the last few ... -
ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Rhabdoviridae 2022
