Pheno- and genotyping of Brucella abortus biovar 5 isolated from a water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) fetus: First case reported in the Americas by Martínez, Diana, Thompson, Carolina Soledad, Draghi, Maria Graciela, Canavesio, Vilma, Jacobo, Roberto, Zimmer, Patricia Andrea, Elena, Sebastián Alejandro, Nicola, Ana M., Torioni, Susana Marta

“…Genotyping supported the phenotypic results, as the analysis of the omp2ab gene sequence showed an identical pattern to either B. abortus bv 5 or B. melitensis. Finally, the AMOS PCR generated a 1700-bp fragment from the isolate, different than those amplified from B. abortus bv 1 (498 bp) and B. melitensis (731 bp), confirming the presence of B. abortus bv 5. …”

Estimating the risk of groundwater contamination and environmental impact of pesticides in an agricultural basin in Argentina by Gaona, L., Bedmar, Francisco, Gianelli, Valeria Rosana, Faberi, Ariel, Angelini, Hernán Pablo

“…Results showed that herbicides would pose the greatest risk of potential groundwater contamination within the studied basin, followed by insecticides and finally by fungicides. Most pesticides showed a low EIQ, but the high number of applications of some of them, particularly in potatoes, significantly increased their dangerousness. …”

Genomic re-assessment of the transposable element landscape of the potato genome by Zavallo, Diego, Crescente, Juan Manuel, Gantuz, Magdalena, Leone, Melisa, Vanzetti, Leonardo Sebastian, Masuelli, Ricardo Williams, Asurmendi, Sebastian

“…Additionally, we described the distribution of the different types of TEs across the genome, where LTRs and MITEs present a clear clustering pattern in pericentromeric and subtelomeric/telomeric regions respectively. Finally, we analyzed the insertion age and distribution of LTR retrotransposon families which display a distinct pattern between the two major superfamilies. …”

Improving Potential Biodiversity and Human Footprint in Nothofagus Forests of Southern Patagonia through the Spatial Prioritization of their Conservation Values by Rosas, Yamina Micaela, Peri, Pablo Luis, Carrasco, Josela, Lencinas, María Vanessa, Pidgeon, Anna Michle, Politi, Natalia, Martinuzzi, Sebastián, Martínez Pastur, Guillermo José

“…After that, we identify woodland patches with special values of MPB and low HFM according to the different forest types, and analyzed if the distribution of MPB of the different forest types changed across the current natural protected reserve network, private and public lands. Finally, with these outputs, we propose new methodologies to enhance the current natural reserve network effectiveness. …”

Balance between retroviral latency and transcription : based on HIV model by Pluta, Aneta, Jaworski, Juan Pablo, Cortés-Rubio, César N.

“…In this article, we describe what is known about the regulation of LTR-driven transcription in HIV-1, that is, the cis-elements present in the LTR, the role of LTR transcription factor binding sites in LTR-driven transcription, the role of HIV-1-encoded transactivator protein, hormonal effects on virus transcription, impact of LTR variability on transcription, and epigenetic control of retrovirus LTR. Finally, we focus on a novel clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/dCas9)-based strategy for HIV-1 reservoir purging.…”

The movement protein (NSm) of Tomato spotted wilt virus is the avirulence determinant in the tomato Sw-5 gene-based resistance by Peiro, Ana, Canizares, M. C., Rubio, Luis, Lopez, Carmelo, Moriones, Enrique, Aramburu, Jose, Sánchez-Navarro, Jesús A.

“…Mutational analysis revealed that N120 was sufficient to avoid the HR, but the substitution V130I was required for systemic transport. Finally, co-inoculation of RB and NRB AMV chimeric constructs showed different prevalence of RB or NBR depending on the presence or absence of Sw-5. …”

Salt tolerance traits revealed in mandarins (Citrus reticulata Blanco) are mainly related to root-to-shoot Cl- translocation limitation and leaf detoxification processes by Ben Yahmed, Jihene, Novillo, Pedro, García-Lor, Andrés, Salvador, Alejandra, Ben Mimoun, Mehdi, Luro, Francois, Talón, Manuel, Ollitrault, Patrick, Morillon, Raphael

“…Tolerance traits that we identified are discussed in relation to the known genetic structure in mandarins. Finally, some of the salt stress tolerant accessions that we identified could potentially be used as parents in rootstock breeding programs and others in scion variety breeding programs.…”

A new mechanised cultural practice to reduce Ceratitis capitata Wied. populations in area-wide IPM by Chueca, Patricia, Garcerá, Cruz, Urbaneja, Alberto, Moltó, Enrique

“…As a second step, the operational parameters (type of cutting tool, shaft rotation speed and tractor speed) of the wood shredders were adjusted to efficiently carry out this practice under field conditions. Finally, the effect of the mechanised grinding of fallen fruit on C. capitata populations was evaluated for two consecutive years in commercial citrus orchards. …”

RinA controls phage-mediated packaging and transfer of virulence genes in Gram-positive bacteria by Ferrer, Maria D., Quiles-Puchalt, Nuria, Harwich, Michael D., Tormo-Mas, María A., Campoy, Susana, Barbe, Jordi, Lasa, Inigo, Novick, Richard P., Christie, Gail E., Penadés, José R.

“…Consequently, phages with divergent promoter regions carried allelic variants of the RinA protein, which specifically recognize its own promoter sequence. Finally, most Gram-postive bacteria carry bacteriophages encoding RinA homologue proteins. …”

Control of Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island excision by Mir, Ignacio, Martinez-Rubio, Roser, Marti, Miguel, Chen, John, Lasa, Inigo, Novick, Richard P., Tormo-Mas, María A., Penadés, José R.

“…Mutational analysis reveals that Xis is essential for efficient horizontal SaPI transfer to a recipient strain. Finally, we show that the master regulator of the SaPI life cycle, Stl, blocks expression of int and xis by binding to inverted repeats present in the promoter region, thus controlling SaPI excision.…”
