Absence of the nitrous oxide reductase gene cluster in commercial alfalfa inoculants is probably due to the extensive loss of genes during rhizobial domestication
(Springer, 2018-08)As other legume crops, alfalfa cultivation increases the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Since legumesymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria play a crucial role in this emission, it is important to understand ... -
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 ... -
Plant growth-promoting genes can switch to be virulence factors via horizontal gene transfer
(Springer, 2018-10)There are increasing evidences that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a critical mechanism of bacterial evolution, while its complete impact remains unclear. A main constraint of HGT effects on microbial evolution seems ... -
Research gaps and new insights in the evolution of Drosophila seminal fluid proteins
(Wiley, 2021-11)While the striking effects of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) on females are fairly conserved among Diptera, most SFPs lack detectable homologues among the SFP repertoires of phylogenetically distant species. How such a ... -
The rpl23 gene and pseudogene are hotspots of illegitimate recombination in barley chloroplast mutator seedlings
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-07)Previously, through a TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes) approach applied on barley chloroplast mutator (cpm) seedlings a high frequency of polymorphisms in the rpl23 gene was detected. All the polymorphisms ... -
Single nucleotide polymorphisms from candidate genes associated with nematode resistance and resilience in Corriedale and Pampinta sheep in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2021-02)Selective breeding of genetically resistant animals is considered a promising strategy to face the problem of nematode resistance to anthelmintics and mitigate concerns about the presence of chemical residues in animal ... -
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in candidate genes associated with milk yield in Argentinean Holstein and Holstein x Jersey cows
(2018-12)Research on loci influencing milk production traits of dairy cattle is one of the main topics of investigation in livestock. Many genomic regions and polymorphisms associated with dairy production have been reported ... -
Validation of housekeeping genes for qPCR in maize during water deficit stress conditions at flowering time
(2017)Plant stress studies are increasingly being based on gene expression. The analysis of gene expression requires sensitive, precise, and replicable measurements for specific mRNA sequences. Real-time RT-PCR is nowadays the ...
