• Cytogenetics, genome size and anther anatomy in Bulbostylis (Cyperaceae) 

      López, María Gabriela; Fernández, Aveliano; Galdeano, Florencia (Firenze University Press, 2017-06-28)
      Cyperaceae display diverse and unusual cytogenetical characteristics, but are still sparsely documented and poorly understood in this respect. Six new chromosome counts are presented for Bulbostylis. Absolute DNA content ...
    • Genetic transfer from several apomictic tetraploid paspalum species to an elite group of sexual plants 

      Novo, Patricia Elda; Acuña, Carlos Alberto; Urbani, Mario Hugo; Galdeano, Florencia; Espinoza, Francisco; Quarin, Camilo Luis (Crop Science Society of America, 2020)
      Basic findings from classical genetic studies are available for exploiting apomixis in the breeding of several forage grass genera. Most Paspalum species are multi- ploid with a sexual diploid cytotype and conspecific ...
    • Hybridity and autopolyploidy increase the expressivity of apospory in diploid paspalum rufum 

      Delgado, Luciana; Sartor, María Esperanza; Espinoza, Francisco; Soliman, Mariano; Galdeano, Florencia; Ortíz, Juan Pablo Amelio (Springer Wien, 2016)
      Paspalum rufum Nees is a perennial grass that forms a multiploid complex. Natural populations are composed mainly of diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and tetraploid (2n = 4x = 40) cytotypes. The diploid form is sexual and highly ...
    • Inheritance of aposporous apomixis in interspecific hybrids derived from sexual paspalum plicatulum and apomictic paspalum guenoarum 

      Aguilera, Patricia Mabel; Galdeano, Florencia; Quarin, Camilo Luis; Ortíz, Juan Pablo Amelio; Espinoza, Francisco (Crop Science Society of America, 2015)
      Apomictic Paspalum plicatulum Michx. and P.guenoarum Arechav. are promising candidates for forage grass development in tropical regions. From a plant breeding perspective, apomixis provides a unique mechanism for developing ...
    • Interspecific hybrids between Paspalum plicatulum and P. oteroi: a key tool for forage breeding 

      Novo, Patricia Elda; Montenegro Valls, José Francisco; Galdeano, Florencia; Honfi, Ana Isabel; Espinoza, Francisco; Quarin, Camilo Luis (Universidade de São Paulo, 2016-08)
      Grama-tio-pedro (Paspalum oteroi Swallen) is a rare stoloniferous grass of the Plicatula group of Paspalum, well adapted to continuous grazing in areas subject to seasonal flooding in the Pantanal region, in central western ...
    • Registration of ‘Boyero UNNE’ Bahiagrass 

      Urbani, Mario Hugo; Acuña, Carlos Alberto; Doval, D. W.; Sartor, María Esperanza; Galdeano, Florencia; Blount, A. R.; Quesenberry, K. H.; Mackowiak, Cheryl L.; Quarin, Camilo Luis (Crop Science Society of America, 2017-01)
      ‘Boyero UNNE’ (Reg. No. CV-5, PI 676021) bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flüggé) was registered with the National Register of Plant Cultivars and the National Register of Property for Plant Cultivars, Ministry of Agriculture, ...
    • Relative DNA content in diploid, polyploid, and multiploid species of Paspalum (Poaceae) with relation to reproductive mode and taxonomy 

      Galdeano, Florencia; Urbani, Mario Hugo; Sartor, María Esperanza; Honfi, Ana Isabel; Espinoza, Francisco; Quarin, Camilo Luis (Springer, 2016-03-10)
      It is generally accepted that polyploids have downsized basic genomes rather than additive values with respect to their related diploids. Changes in genome size have been reported in correlation with several biological ...
