Lemon and Schinus polygama essential oils enhance male mating success of Anastrepha fraterculus
(Wiley, 2020-11-27)The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly pest control method that relies on the introduction of sterility into the pest population by the release of sterile males. Many Tephritidae fruit fly pests ... -
LOV‐domain photoreceptor, encoded in a genomic island, attenuates the virulence of Pseudomonas syringae in light‐exposed Arabidopsis leaves
(Wiley, 2013-10)In Arabidopsis thaliana, light signals modulate the defences against bacteria. Here we show that light perceived by the LOV domain‐regulated two‐component system (Pst–Lov) of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst ... -
Major cereal crops benefit from biological nitrogen fixation when inoculated with the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 X940
(2016)A main goal of biological nitrogen fixation research has been to expand the nitrogen-fixing ability to major cereal crops. In this work, we demonstrate the use of the efficient nitrogen-fixing rhizobacterium Pseudomonas ... -
Male Sexual Behavior and Pheromone Emission Is Enhanced by Exposure to Guava Fruit Volatiles in Anastrepha fraterculus
(Plos One, 2015-04)Background: Plant chemicals can affect reproductive strategies of tephritid fruit flies by influencing sex pheromone communication and increasing male mating competitiveness. Objective and Methodology: We explored whether ... -
Male sexual enhancement after methoprene treatment in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) : a sustained response that does not fade away after sexual maturation
(2017)The juvenile hormone (JH) of insects triggers physiological changes related to reproduction in adults of both sexes. Methoprene is a sesquiterpene with some effects that are analogous to those of JH. Treatments with ... -
Mapping a gene on wheat chromosome 4BL involved in a complementary interaction with adult plant leaf rust resistance gene LrSV2
(Springer, 2018-08)A complementary gene to LrSV2 for specific adult plant leaf rust resistance in wheat was mapped on chromosome 4BL, tightly linked to Lr12 / 31. LrSV2 is a race-specific adult plant leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) resistance ... -
Mate choice confers direct benefits to females of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Public Library of Science, 2019-06)Exposure to plant compounds and analogues of juvenile hormone (JH) increase male mating success in several species of tephritid fruit flies. Most of these species exhibit a lek mating system, characterized by active female ... -
Mating-induced changes in responses of female Queensland fruit fly to male pheromones and fruit : a mechanism for mating-induced sexual inhibition
(Elsevier, 2021-03)In order to reproduce, female tephritid fruit flies need both mates for fertilization and fruit for oviposition. Virgin females are prone to mating and approach males, attracted by their pheromones. Mated females, however, ... -
Maximizing the expression of transgenic traits into elite alfalfa germplasm using a supertransgene configuration in heterozygous conditions
(2018-05)Numerous species of legumes, including alfalfa, are critical factors for agroecosystems due to their ability to grow without nitrogen fertilizers derived from non-renewable fossil fuels, their contribution of organic ... -
Methodology for the identification of relevant loci for milk traits in dairy cattle, using machine learning algorithms
(Elsevier, 2022)Machine learning methods were considered efficient in identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) underlying a trait of interest. This study aimed to construct predictive models using machine learning algorithms, to ... -
Microevolution rather than large genome divergence determines the effectiveness of legume–rhizobia symbiotic interaction under field conditions
(2017-08)Despite the vast screening for natural nitrogenfixing isolates by public and private consortia, no significant progresses in the production of improved nitrogenfixing inoculants for alfalfa production have been made in the ... -
Microsatellite markers from the ‘South American fruit fly’ Anastrepha fraterculusa: valuable tool for population genetic analysis and SIT applications
(BioMed Central, 2014-12-01)Background: Anastrepha fraterculus Wiedemann is a horticultural pest which causes significant economic losses in the fruit-producing areas of the American continent and limits the access of products to international markets. ... -
Minimizing the time and cost of production of transgenic alfalfa libraries using the highly efficient completely sequenced vector pPZP200BAR
(2016)Alfalfa is the most important forage legume worldwide. However, similar to other minor forage crops, it is usually harvested along with weeds, which decrease its nutrient quality and thus reduce its high value in the ... -
mRNA biogenesis-related helicase eIF4AIII from Arabidopsis thaliana is an important factor for abiotic stress adaptation
(2016)Similar to other plant species, Arabidopsis has a huge repertoire of predicted helicases, including the eIF4AIII factor, a putative component of the exon junction complex related to mRNA biogenesis. In this article, we ... -
Obtención de un nuevo genotipo de Achylocrine satureioides Lam (Asteraceae) por poliploidización in vivo = Obtaining a new genotype tetraploid of Achylocrine satureioides Lam (Asteraceae) by in vivo poliploydization
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, 2022-11)Achyrocline satureioides (Lam.) DC. es un arbusto originario de América del Sur. Es muy utilizada en la medicina popular, además, por su color y arquitectura, tiene potencial ornamental como planta para decorar parques o ... -
On how to identify a seminal fluid protein : a response to Wigby et al.
(Wiley, 2022-08)The choice of criteria to delimit a group or class is a subjective matter, even though the reasoning, the objectives, and the criteria themselves should always be clearly stated. This paper is part of a discussion about ... -
Ongoing speciation within the Anastrepha fraterculus cryptic species complex: the case of the Andean morphotype
(Wiley, 2014-09)The Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) cryptic species complex is currently composed of seven taxonomically recognized morphotypes. Both, pre‐ and post‐zygotic isolation has been documented among ... -
Patterns of resource distribution among conspecific larvae in two fruit fly species : Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata (diptera: tephritidae)
(2016)1 Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) are fruit fly pests whose larvae are frequently found sharing the same fruit with conspecifics. Because larvae are incapable of ... -
pBAR–H3.2, a native-optimized binary vector to bypass transgene silencing in alfalfa
(Springer, 2020-03)Alfalfa is the main forage worldwide due to its high biomass production, excellent nutritional qualities and adaptation to a wide range of environments (Singer et al. 2018). Besides, due to its ability to grow without ... -
