Crown gall is one widespread grapevine disease worldwide, caused by Allorhizobium vitis (syn. Agrobacterium vitis) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens (syn. Rhizobium radiobacter). All. Vitis, is the predominant species and pr...

Se plantea el problema de la correlación existente entre la factibilidad técnico-económica del cultivo del cerezo y su ubicación en las diferentes zonas de cultivo en la Provincia de Mendoza. El objetivo es la determ...

Se realiza una revisión del género Salix This work revises the genus Salix in the en la provincia de Mendoza a fin de contribuir province of Mendoza in order to contribute to al conocimiento de su flora fanerogámica. ...

Evidence of teratogenesis and mutagenesis documented in the palynological assemblages of the Middle Triassic Quebrada de los Fósiles Formation, San Rafael Depocenter (Mendoza, Argentina) provide an independent testimony...

Plant communities fragmented by agricultural activities were analyzed in a 250-ha area in eastern plains of Montecaseros, Gral. San Martín Department, Mendoza, Argentina. A phytosociological method assessed different si...

This study develops five predictive models based on regression trees to estimate the Effective Electrical Conductivity (CEE) of irrigation water in the Green Belt of Mendoza, Argentina. Using 468 water samples and physic...

Rural abandonment is a global phenomenon promoted by biophysical, socio-economic, and socio-productive causes, leading to the disappearance of traditional agricultural practices and serious impacts on food security and l...

Along with the recommendation of a healthy diet, it is suggested to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Among the latter, Brassicaceae species are preferred, because they show many phytochemicals mainly be...

Subterranean tuco-tucos of the genus Ctenomys are caviomorph rodents comprising a complex of over 50 nominal species found in the southern half of South America. The validity of several nominal forms awaits a proper asse...

The synanthropic flora in the Mendoza urban area was studied in terms of its three most relevant sub-environments: house and school gardens, parks and borders of narrow ditches used to irrigate the whole city. The curren...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze four ceramic assemblage sets and discuss the relationship between ceramic investment, environment, and strategies of mobility among Late Holocene hunter-gatherers in southern Mendo...

In drylands livestock grazing is the main production activity, but overgrazing due to mismanagement is a major cause of biodiversity loss. Continuous grazing around water sources generates a radial gradient of grazing in...

Autophagy is a well-conserved process of self-digestion of intracellular components. T. cruzi is a protozoan parasite with a complex life-cycle that involves insect vectors and mammalian hosts. Like other eukaryotic orga...

The host cell recognition and removal of invading pathogens are crucial for the control of microbial infections. However, several microorganisms have developed mechanisms that allow them to survive and replicate intracel...

Climate conditions have a strong influence on the distribution of many natural communities; thus, the influence of global climate change may alter ecosystems. High-altitude wetlands in the Central Andes of Argentina (CAA...

Tolerance to extreme temperatures, thermal limits, and the mechanisms of thermoregulation are related to internal functions of insects and partly define their ecological niche. We study the association between daily acti...

The number of studies of Little Ice Age (LIA) glacier fluctuations in southern South America has increased in recent years but is largely biased towards sites in the south Patagonian Andes. In this paper we present a det...

Soluble carbohydrates distribution depends on plant physiology and, among other important factors, determines fruit yield and quality. In plant biology, the analysis of sugars is useful for many purposes, including metab...

The aim of this study is to determine the impact potential of land use on biotic production and climate regulation in the agricultural phase of a product, taking into account the varied soil and crop management. Land occ...

It has long been thought that exocytosis was driven exclusively by well-studiedfusion proteins. Some decades ago, the role of lipids became evident andescalated interest in the field. Our laboratory chose a particular ce...

The association of Hydnorobius hydnorae (Pascoe) (Belidae: Oxycoryninae) with both species of the genus Prosopanche de Bary (Hydnoraceae), Prosopanche americana (R. Br.) Baillon and Prosopanche bonacinai Spegazzini, is r...

When biodiversity conservation of noncharismatic species is a priority, local people perception and value attributed to species are of vital importance. The big colony of bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) in the Escaba dam lo...

The Desert Andes contain >4500 ice masses, but only a handful are currently being monitored. We present the mass changes of the small mountain glacier Agua Negra (1 km2) and of the rest of glaciers in the Jáchal river b...

Livestock ranching is one of the main productive activities in arid regions of the world. Grazing produces changes in animal as well as plant communities (e.g. richness, abundance and species dominance relationships). An...
