• Deciphering the transcriptomic regulation of heat stress responses in Nothofagus pumilio 

      Estravis Barcala, Maximiliano; Heer, Katrin; Marchelli, Paula; Ziegenhagen, Birgit; Arana, María Veronica; Bellora Pereyra, Nicolás (Plos One, 2021-03-30)
      Global warming is predicted to exert negative impacts on plant growth due to the damaging effect of high temperatures on plant physiology. Revealing the genetic architecture underlying the heat stress response is therefore ...
    • Genomic responses to climate: Understanding local adaptation in the Andean tree species Nothofagus pumilio and implications for a changing world 

      Sekely, Jill; Marchelli, Paula; Arana, María Veronica; Dauphin, Benjamin; Mattera, Maria Gabriela; Pastorino, Mario Juan; Scotti, Ivan; Soliani, Carolina; Heer, Katrin; Opgenoorth, Lars (Wiley, 2024-03)
      Nothofagus pumilio is a foundation tree species that inhabits a 2000-km-long range in the southern Andes, a region with two perpendicular environmental gradients: temperature and photoperiod (North–South), and precipitation ...
    • Molecular bases of responses to abiotic stress in trees 

      Estravis Barcala, Maximiliano; Mattera, María Gabriela; Soliani, Carolina; Bellora Pereyra, Nicolás; Opgenoorth, Lars; Heer, Katrin; Arana, María Veronica (Oxford University Press, 2020-06)
      Trees are constantly exposed to climate fluctuations, which vary with both time and geographic location. Environmental changes that are outside of the physiological favorable range usually negatively affect plant performance ...
    • Temperature and day length drive local adaptation in the Patagonian foundation tree species Nothofagus pumilio 

      Sekely, Jill; Marchelli, Paula; Arana, María Veronica; Dauphin, Benjamin; Mattera, Maria Gabriela; Pastorino, Mario Juan; Scotti, Ivan; Soliani, Carolina; Heer, Katrin; Opgenoorth, Lars (BioRxiv, 2023-04-29)
      Climate change alters relationships among environmental conditions and thus has the potential to change the selection pressures acting on adaptive gene variants. Using a landscape genomic approach, we show that the southern ...
