Complementary Sex Determination in the Parasitic Wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Plos One, 2015-03)We studied the sex determination in Diachasmimorpha longicaudata, a parasitoid braconid wasp widely used as biological control agent of fruit pest tephritid flies. We tested the complementary sex determination hypothesis ... -
Cooperativity in proton sensing by PIP aquaporins
(Wiley, 2019-03)One of the most intriguing properties of plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) aquaporins (AQPs) is their ability to modulate water transport by sensing different levels of intracellular pH through the assembly of homo‐ ... -
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of a polyester synthase-like gene delays flowering time in alfalfa
(Springer, 2023-02)Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), commonly known as the “Queen of Forages”, is the main source of plant protein for meat and milk production systems worldwide. Since alfalfa is a perennial vegetative-harvest forage, delaying ... -
Cross-species transfer of SSR markers in Setaria sphacelata and Trichloris crinita sp. = Transferencia cruzada de marcadores SSR en Setaria sphacelata y Trichloris crinita sp.
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2019)Setaria sphacelata and Trichloris crinita are subtropical forage species that are important for livestock breeding in Argentina. Genomic information is scarce for these species, and there are no molecular markers designed ... -
Cryptic genetic structure in an Argentinian population of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) evidenced by SSR markers and quantitative traits
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2019-04)In some regions of Argentina and Brazil, the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) causes significant damage to crops. An efficient integrated management program requires knowledge ... -
Cytogenetic analysis of the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (diptera:tephritidae) species complex : construction of detailed photographic polytene chromosome maps of the Argentinian af. sp.1 member
(2016)Genetic and cytogenetic studies constitute a significant basis for understanding the biology of insect pests and the design and the construction of genetic tools for biological control strategies. Anastrepha fraterculus ... -
Cytogenetic characterization of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a parasitoid wasp used as a biological control agent
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2013-07)Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a parasitoid wasp widely used in the biological control of fruit flies. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the karyotype of this species based on the ... -
Dependence of egg hatching on Wolbachia density in a parthenogenetic weevil revealed by antibiotic treatment
(Wiley, 2021-04)Naupactini is a tribe of Neotropical broad‐nosed weevils highly diverse in South America. This group includes several parthenogenetic species, some of them harmful for agriculture and invasive around the world. Although ... -
Development of a construct-based risk assessment framework for genetic engineered crops
(2016)Experience gained in the risk assessment (RA) of genetically engineered (GE) crops since their first experimental introductions in the early nineties, has increased the level of familiarity with these breeding methodologies ... -
Differences in sperm storage and remating propensity between adult females of two morphotypes of the Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) cryptic species complex
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-06)The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus, is a complex of cryptic species composed of at least seven morphotypes. Some of them, such as the Peruvian and Brazilian 1 morphotypes (which include Argentinean ... -
Direct and indirect host-related volatile compounds attract a fruit fly parasitoid, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Wiley, 2024-02)Fruit fly pests (Diptera: Tephritidae) are a serious problem for fruit production and for local and international trade. Biological control is increasingly included as a pest control tool within integrated pest management ... -
Discriminación genotípica de serovariedades del serogrupo Icterohaemorrhagiae pertenecientes a Leptospira interrogans (Spirochaetales: Leptospiraceae) y el análisis de distancias génicas mediante coordenadas principales
(2017-01-18)La leptospirosis es una zoonosis de amplia distribución mundial y de importancia en salud pública y veterinaria. El serogrupo Icterohaemorrhagiae toma importancia, ya que ha sido aislado con frecuencia en roedores y en ... -
Dynamics of genetic variability in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) during adaptation to laboratory rearing conditions
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Anastrepha fraterculus is one of the most important fruit fly plagues in the American continent and only chemical control is applied in the field to diminish its population densities. A better understanding ... -
Effect of butanol and salt concentration on solid-state nanopores resistance
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-09)The objective of this study was to demonstrate the possibility of using 1-butanol to reliably detect the open-pore current of pyramidal solid-state nanopores produced in silicon wafers. The nanopores were produced through ... -
Effect of Fruit Volatiles from Native Host Plants on the Sexual Performance of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 Males
(MDPI, 2023-02)Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1 males are sexually stimulated by the aroma of fruit of its native host Psidium guajava (guava). Other hosts, which are exotic to A. fraterculus, do not enhance male sexual behavior. Here we ... -
Effect of polyploidization in the production of essential oils in Lippia integrifolia
(2016-03)Consumption of medicinal and aromatic plants is widespread and increasing worldwide. Yet, harvesting from the wild, the main source of raw material in developing countries, is causing loss of genetic diversity and habitat ... -
Effects of superparasitism on immature and adult stages of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reared on Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2017)The optimal use of available host by parasitoid insects should be favoured by natural selection. For solitary parasitoids, superparasitism (i.e. the egg-laying of several eggs/host) may represent a detrimental phenomenon ... -
