Decoupling of height growth and drought or pest resistance tradeoffs is revealed through multiple commongarden experiments of lodgepole pine
(Oxford University Press, 2023-03)The environment could alter growth and resistance tradeoffs in plants by affecting the ratio of resource allocation to various competing traits. Yet, how and why functional tradeoffs change over time and space is poorly ... -
Deforestation and cattle expansion in the Paraguayan Chaco 1987–2012
(2017-04)The dry forests of Latin America are among the most dynamic deforestation frontiers in the world and are important carbon and biodiversity reservoirs. Our knowledge on the spatial patterns of deforestation and its proximate ... -
Density, habitat use, and opportunities for conservation of shorebirds in rice fields in southeastern South America
(Bioone, 2014-08)Worldwide, shorebirds are a major component of rice field avian biodiversity. Rice fields in Argentina and southern Brazil hold large numbers of shorebirds and have been recognized as important areas for migrating or ... -
Development of anthocyanin markers: gene mapping, genomic analysis and genetic diversity studies in Ipomoea species
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2022)The anthocyanins are pigments responsible for a wide range of colours in plants, from blue, red and purple, play essential biological roles as well as their genes are evolutionarily conserved. Purple sweet potatoes have ... -
Discontinuities in quinoa biodiversity in the dry Andes: An 18 - century perspective based on allelic genotyping
(Plos ONE, 2018-12-05)History and environment shape crop biodiversity, particularly in areas with vulnerable human communities and ecosystems. Tracing crop biodiversity over time helps understand how rural societies cope with anthropogenic or ... -
Diversity and conservation of legumes in the Gran Chaco and biogeograpical inferences
(Plos ONE, 2019-08-14)The Gran Chaco is a wide ecologic-geographic region comprising northern Argentina, western Paraguay, southern Bolivia and the southwestern extreme of Brazil. This region exhibits extreme temperatures, annually regular ... -
Drivers of agricultural land - use change in the Argentine Pampas and Chaco regions
(2018-02)Agricultural expansion and intensification in South America's dry forests and grasslands increase agricultural production, but also result in major environmental trade-offs. The Pampas and Chaco regions of Argentina have ... -
Effect of allelic variation at the Glu-3 / Gli-1 loci on breadmaking quality parameters in hexaploid wheat [Triticum aestivum L.]
(2015-03)Low molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) encoded by the Glu-3 loci are known to contribute to wheat breadmaking quality. However, the specific effect of individual Glu-3 alleles is not well understood due to their ... -
Effect of the Hope FT-B1 Allele on wheat heading time and yield components
(2014-09)Precise regulation of flowering time is critical for plant reproductive success and, in cereals, to maximize grain yields. Seasonal cues including temperature and day length are integrated to regulate the timing of flowering. ... -
Effects of past and future land conversions on forest connectivity in the Argentine Chaco
(Springer, 2015-05)Context: Land-use change is the main driver of habitat loss and fragmentation worldwide. The rate of dry forest loss in the South American Chaco is among the highest in the world, mainly due to the expansion of soybean ... -
Effects of the neonicotinoid insecticides Thiamethoxam and imidacloprid on metamorphosis of the toad rhinella arenarum at environmentally-relevant concentrations
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-05-22)The present study examined the acute and chronic toxicity of the neonicotinoid insecticides imidacloprid (IMI) and thiamethoxam (TIA) on the neotropical amphibian species Rhinella arenarum, Rhinella fernandezae and Scinax ... -
Efficient genomics-based ‘end-to-end’ selective tree breeding framework
(Springer Nature, 2024-01-03)Since their initiation in the 1950s, worldwide selective tree breeding programs followed the recurrent selection scheme of repeated cycles of selection, breeding (mating), and testing phases and essentially remained unchanged ... -
