Isolation and selection of endophytic spore-forming bacteria with plant growth promoting properties isolated from Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil. (yerba mate)
(Acad Brasileira de Ciencias, 2020-07-01)
Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil.) is a species native to the subtropical
regions of South America. Despite being an important crop for the region, there are few studies on the use of microorganisms to improve the ...
Alkaloid-rich vs. antioxidant-rich yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) extracts: Exploiting the selectivity of supercritical CO2 using hydrated ethanol as co-solvent
(Elsevier Science, 2021-06)
Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A.St-Hil.) is an autochthonous plant species from South America whose leaves exhibit beneficial health properties due to the presence of alkaloids and antioxidants. In the present study, the ...
Mating system parameters and genetic structure in Argentinean populations of Acacia caven (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae)
(Springer Wien, 2011-03)
Acacia caven (Mol.) Mol. is native to South America. The species is a leguminous, woody small tree that is considered to have certain potential as a managed silvopastoral crop. Six varieties have been described for the ...
Trichoderma spp. from Misiones, Argentina: effective fungi to promote plant growth of the regional crop Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-04)
Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil (yerba mate) is an important crop in the north of Argentina, mainly in Misiones province. The application of Trichoderma as a biocontroller and biofertilizer can replace or reduce the use of ...
Fitness and Mating Compatibility of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Populations from Different Host Plant Species and Regions in Argentina
(Entomological Society of America, 2008-12)
Two strains (corn and rice) of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), have been identified that differ in their host plant preferences and performance. Although these strains have been ...
Host Plant Adaptation in Cactophilic Species of the Drosophila buzzatii Cluster: Fitness and Transcriptomics
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2018-08)
Host plant shifts in herbivorous insects often involve facing new environments that may speed up the evolution of oviposition behavior, performance-related traits, morphology, and, incidentally, reproductive isolation. In ...
Flower-level developmental plasticity to nutrient availability in Datura stramonium: Implications for the mating system
(Oxford University Press, 2017-10)
Background and Aims Studies of phenotypic plasticity in plants have mainly focused on (1) the effect of environmental variation on whole-plant traits related to the number of modules rather than on (2) the phenotypic ...
Post-mating sexual abstinence in a male moth
(Landes Bioscience, 2014-10)
In most animals, male copulation is dependent on the detection and processing of female-produced sex pheromones. In males, a refractory postejaculatory interval (PEI) follows copulation, allowing them to avoid direct ...
