Evidence of recent interspecies horizontal gene transfer regarding nucleopolyhedrovirus infection of Spodoptera frugiperda
(BioMed Central, 2015-11)
Background: Baculoviruses are insect-associated viruses carrying large, circular double-stranded-DNA genomes with significant biotechnological applications such as biological pest control, recombinant protein production, ...
Prevalence of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance Genes in Clinical Enterobacteria from Argentina
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2017-03)
This first nationwide study was conducted to analyze the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes in phenotypically unselected (consecutive) clinical enterobacteria. We studied 1,058 isolates that ...
Differential distribution of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in clinical enterobacteria with unusual phenotypes of quinolone susceptibility from Argentina
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-06)
We studied a collection of 105 clinical enterobacteria with unusual phenotypes of quinolone susceptibility to analyze the occurrence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) and oqx genes and their implications for ...
Preterm birth and genitourinary tract infections: assessing gene–environment interaction
(International Pediatric Research Foundation, 2020-10)
Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of perinatal morbimortality worldwide. Genetic and environmental factors could raise PTB risk. The aim of this study was to analyze the contribution of the statistical ...
Ultra-High-Density QTL Marker Mapping for Seedling Photomorphogenesis Mediating Arabidopsis Establishment in Southern Patagonia
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07)
Arabidopsis thaliana shows a wide range of genetic and trait variation among wild accessions. Because of its unparalleled biological and genomic resources, Arabidopsis has a high potential for the identification of genes ...
A matter of quantity: Common features in the drought response of transgenic plants overexpressing HD-Zip I transcription factors
(Elsevier Ireland, 2016-10)
Plant responses to water deficit involve complex molecular mechanisms in which transcription factors have key roles. Previous reports ectopically overexpressed a few members of the homeodomain-leucine zipper I (HD-Zip I) ...
The receptor-like kinase ERECTA contributes to the shade-avoidance syndrome in a background-dependent manner
(Oxford University Press, 2013-02)
Background and Aims Plants growing at high densities perceive a decrease in the red to far-red (R/FR) ratio of incoming light. These changes in light quality trigger a suite of responses collectively known as the shade-avoidance ...
Robustness of transposable element regulation but no genomic shock observed in interspecific Arabidopsis hybrids
(Oxford University Press, 2018-06)
The merging of two divergent genomes in a hybrid is believed to trigger a "genomic shock", disrupting gene regulation and transposable element (TE) silencing. Here, we tested this expectation by comparing the pattern of ...
Edición genética y responsabilidadGene editing and responsibilityEdició genètica i responsabilitat
(Universidad de Barcelona, 2019-06)
En este trabajo se plantean algunas reflexiones respecto de la edición genética y su impacto en la responsabilidad. Me centraré en la investigación y en las prácticas que se realizan en línea germinal, ya que son las que ...
New TEM-derived extended-spectrum β-lactamase and its genomic context in plasmids from Salmonella enterica serovar derby isolates from Uruguay
(American Society for Microbiology, 2006-02)
A small (8.2-kb) ColE1 plasmid encoding TEM-144 (a new β-lactamase with a ceftazidimase profile) was sequenced by a gene-walking strategy. The blaTEM allele was carried on a Tn2 element, disrupting a Rom protein gene. ...
