Permanent cover crop as a strategy to promote soil health and vineyard performance.
ABSTRACT.- Conventional viticulture involves a high use of inputs that negatively impact ecosystem services and biodiversity. Traditionally, vineyards are rainfed systems and vegetation is removed or sprayed with herbicides to avoid excessive competition for water and nutrients. Introducing cover crops can positively promote several ecosystem services and particularly soil and crop health and biodiversity.
Abundance and phylogenetic distribution of eight key enzymes of the phosphorus biogeochemical cycle in grassland soils.
Grassland biomes provide valuable ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling. Organic phosphorus (Po) represents more than half of the total P in soils. Soil microorganisms release organic P through enzymatic processes, with alkaline phosphatases, acid phosphatases and phytases being the key P enzymes involved in the cycling of organic P.
Review on ecological interactions of the Cochliomyia hominivorax fly and assessment of the possible impacts of its eradication in Uruguay. [Revisión de las interacciones ecológicas de la mosca Cochliomyia hominivorax y evaluación de los posibles impactos ecológicos de su erradicación en Uruguay]. [Revisão das interações ecológicas da mosca Cochliomyia hominivorax e avaliação dos possíveis impactos ecológicos de sua erradicação no Uruguai].
ABSTRACT.- Controlling a pest species raises questions about the harmful effects its eradication could cause in ecosystems. Currently, in Uruguay are being analyzed strategies to eradicate the New World Screwworm (NWS), Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera:Calliphoridae), an obligatory ectoparasite that causes myiasis in warm-blooded vertebrates, including humans. The loss of a species implies a risk of secondary extinctions and cascading effects that depend on the ecological function of the species and the capacity of the rest of the species with which it interacts to compensate for its loss.
25 years in 25 articles. [25 años en 25 artículos]. [25 anos em 25 artigos]. [Special Issue 25 Years Agrociencia].
Agrociencia Uruguay was founded 25 years ago with the aim of communicating, in open access mode, the research results in the field of agriculture, mainly research carried out in the region. To fulfill this objective, and given the different disciplines that make up the agricultural sciences, the journal was divided from its origin until the present into sections in which original knowledge is published.

Buscando mejorar la calidad nutricional del grano de soja y aumentar su tamaño utilizando CRISPR/Cas9. 344. (resúmen)
El objetivo del presente trabajo es mejorar la calidad nutricional del grano de soja, a través de la edición de genes que controlan el tamaño y composición del grano. Este trabajo se centró en generar mutaciones de tipo knockout en genes asociados con el tamaño de la semilla (BS) y con la calidad de proteínas de grano, utilizando el sistema CRISPR-Cas9.

Validation of SNP markers for selection of semi-dwarf and peduncle extrusion in barley.
This study aimed to validate the use of two SNP markers associated to a sdw1 allele identified previously in a short barley genotype (ND23049) with an adequate peduncle extrusion which reduces predisposition to fungal disease development. First, the GBS SNP were converted in a KASP marker but only one of them, named TP4712, correctly amplified all allelic variations and had a Mendelian segregation in a F2 population. To corroborate the association between TP4712 allele with plant height and peduncle extrusion, a total of 1221 genotypes were genotyped and evaluated for both traits.
Buscando alternativas para el control de plagas:nuevos bioplaguicidas basados en interferentes del ARN (ARNi).
El presente artículo pone el foco en una nueva biotecnología que INIA se encuentra evaluando para el control de la chinche de la soja. Los bioplaguicidas basados en ARNi forman parte de una estrategia de manejo de plagas amigable con el ambiente y con bajo impacto en especies no blanco, requerimientos necesarios para una agricultura sostenible.
