Secondary traits related to kernel setting in transgenic maize hybrids at low and high plant densities and their potential use in breeding programs
(Maydica-ist Sper Cerealicoltur, 2019-12)
Maize (Zea mays. L) traditional breeding presents limitations when selection is performed by adaptation to suboptimal conditions. One strategy to achieve greater efficiency in these environments is to include measurements ...
A preliminary study on the effects of a transgenic corn event on the non-target pest Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)
(Elsevier, 2010-06)
The inclusion of the cry gene in corn may produce direct effects on non-target pests. Our research was focused on the relationship between Bt corn germplasm, expressing the cry1F protein to control the fall armyworm ...
Maize expressing the sunflower transcription factor HaHB11 has improved productivity in controlled and field conditions
(Elsevier Ireland, 2019-07)
HaHB11 is a sunflower transcription factor from the homeodomain-leucine zipper I family. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing HaHB11 had larger rosettes and improved seed yield. In this work maize plants from hybrid ...
Performance of transgenic maize genotypes against ear caterpillars in Argentina
(Maydica-ist Sper Cerealicoltur, 2020-11)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most widely cultivated crops in the world and Argentina is a leading producer worldwide. Lepidopteran pests such as the fall army worm (Spodoptera frugiperda -J. E. Smith-) and the corn ...
Genetic Transformation of Sugarcane, Current Status and Future Prospects
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11)
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a tropical and sub-tropical, vegetative-propagated crop that contributes to approximately 80% of the sugar and 40% of the world’s biofuel production. Modern sugarcane cultivars are highly ...
Performance of transgenic maize genotypes against ear caterpillars in Argentina
(Consiglio per la Ricerca in Agricoltura e l'Analisi dell'Economia Agraria, Italia, 2020)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most widely cultivated crops in the world and Argentina is a leading producer
worldwide. Lepidopteran pests such as the fall army worm (Spodoptera frugiperda -J. E. Smith-) and the ...
Constitutive expression of the alpha10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit fails to maintain cholinergic responses in inner hair cells after the onset of hearing
(Springer, 2009-05)
Efferent inhibition of cochlear hair cells is mediated by α9α10 nicotinic cholinergic receptors (nAChRs) functionally coupled to calcium-activated, small conductance (SK2) potassium channels. Before the onset of hearing, ...
Uncharacterized conserved motifs outside the HD-Zip domain in HD-Zip subfamily I transcription factors; a potential source of functional diversity
(BioMed Central, 2011-03)
Background: Plant HD-Zip transcription factors are modular proteins in which a homeodomain is associated to a leucine zipper. Of the four subfamilies in which they are divided, the tested members from subfamily I bind in ...
Performance of Field-Collected Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Strains Exposed to Different Transgenic and Refuge Maize Hybrids in Argentina
(University of Arizona, 2019-11)
Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) is one of the major pests of maize in Argentina. The main tool for its control is the use of genetically modified maize hybrids expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal proteins. ...
Transgenic expression of tobacco mosaic virus capsid and movement proteins modulate plant basal defense and biotic stress responses in Nicotiana tabacum
(2012)
Plant viruses cause metabolic and physiological changes
associated with symptomatic disease phenotypes. Symptoms involve direct and indirect effects, which result in disruption
of host physiology. We used transgenic ...
