• Diversity in apomictic populations of Paspalum simplex Morong 

      Brugnoli, Elsa Andrea; Urbani, Mario Hugo; Quarin, Camilo Luis; Zilli, Alex Leonel; Martínez, Eric Javier; Acuña, Carlos Alberto (Crop Science Soc Amer, 2014)
      Paspalum is considered a genetic model for studying the sources of genotypic variability and breeding techniques in apomictic plants. Pas­palum simplex is a warm-season forage grass that well represents the genus since it ...
    • Genetic and morphological characterization of Acroceras macrum Stapf 

      Ferrari Usandizaga, S. C.; Brugnoli, Elsa Andrea; Weiss, A. I.; Zilli, Alex Leonel; Schedler, Mara; Pagano, E. M.; Martínez, Eric Javier; Acuña, Carlos Alberto (Wiley, 2014-04-03)
      Acroceras macrum is a warm-season grass used for pastures, and it has high nutritive value. The scarce genetic and reproductive information about this grass is limiting its breeding for forage. The objective of this research ...
    • Genetic relationship among paspalum species of the subgenus anachyris : taxonomic and evolutionary implications 

      Zilli, Alex Leonel; Hojsgaard, Diego Hernán; Brugnoli, Elsa Andrea; Acuña, Carlos Alberto; Honfi, Ana Isabel; Urbani, Mario Hugo; Quarin, Camilo Luis; Martínez, Eric Javier (Elsevier, 2014-10)
      Paspalum is one of the most important genera of the Poaceae family due to its large number of species and diversity. The subgenus Anachyris comprises six species mainly from South America grouped together by sharing rare ...
    • Heterosis and expressivity of apospory in tetraploid bahiagrass hybrids 

      Zilli, Alex Leonel; Brugnoli, Elsa Andrea; Marcón, Florencia; Billa, M. B.; Ríos, Esteban Fernando; Martínez, Eric Javier; Acuña, Carlos Alberto (Crop Science Soc Amer, 2015)
      Breeding procedures developed for apomictic species are based on the idea of fixing superior hybrids by apomixis. However, scarce information is available about the occurrence of heterosis in apomictic hybrids. The objective ...
    • Respuestas ecofisiológicas a la fertilización nitrogenada en genotipos tetraploides apomícticos de Paspalum notatum Flüggé 

      Schulz, Roberto; Acuña, Carlos Alberto; Zilli, Alex Leonel (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019)
      Las gramíneas megatérmicas perennes muestran una fuerte respuesta en su Producción Primaria Neta Aérea (PPNA) a la fertilización nitrogenada (FN), sin embargo los mecanismos ecofisiológicos que la generan aún son poco ...
    • Widening the gene pool of sexual tetraploid bahiagrass : generation and reproductive characterization of a sexual synthetic tetraploid population 

      Zilli, Alex Leonel; Acuña, Carlos Alberto; Schulz, Roberto; Brugnoli, Elsa Andrea; Guidalevich, Verónica; Quarin, Camilo Luis; Martínez, Eric Javier (Crop Science, 2018)
      The improvement of bahiagrass, Paspalum notatum Flüggé, has been inhibited by reduced levels of genetic diversity in sexual tetraploid germplasm. A few experimental sexual tetraploid genotypes (ESTGs) have been generated ...
