Overview

Claudio M. Ghersa is a researcher affiliated with the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Their work primarily spans the field of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a particular focus on Plant Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, and Environmental Chemistry. Their research topics include plant responses to elevated CO2, plant and fungal interactions, plant parasitism and resistance, plant and animal studies, turfgrass adaptation and management, as well as seed germination and physiology.

Ghersa has contributed to multiple scientific publications across a variety of respected journals. Notable recent papers include:

  • Ontogenetic and trans-generational dynamics of a vertically transmitted fungal symbiont in an annual host plant in ozone-polluted settings (2020, Plant Cell & Environment)
  • Getting ready for the ozone battle: Vertically transmitted fungal endophytes have transgenerational positive effects in plants (2021, Plant Cell & Environment)
  • The negative effect of a vertically-transmitted fungal endophyte on seed longevity is stronger than that of ozone transgenerational effect (2020, Environmental and Experimental Botany)
  • Seed-borne fungal endophytes constrain reproductive success of host plants under ozone pollution (2021, Environmental Research)
  • Daño, producción de semillas y persistencia del hongo endófito Epichloë occultans en plantas de Lolium multiflorum bajo un ataque de herbívoros lepidópteros y contaminación por ozono (2020, Ecología Austral)

Their frequent co-authors include Pedro E. Gundel, M. Alejandra Martínez-Ghersa, Andrea C. Ueno, Patricia V. Demkura, and Stuart D. Card. These collaborations have yielded contributions to a range of journals such as Plant Cell & Environment, Environmental Research, Environmental and Experimental Botany, Ecología Austral, and Austral Ecology.

Ghersa's research frequently intersects with ecological and physiological studies of plants under environmental stress, especially related to ozone pollution and plant-fungal relationships. This is reflected in study topics like vertically transmitted fungal endophytes, their transgenerational effects, and their impact on seed longevity and reproductive success in host plants.

In summary, Claudio M. Ghersa's academic profile reflects a multi-faceted investigation into plant biology under environmental challenges, with an emphasis on symbiotic fungal relationships and plant adaptation mechanisms. Their publication record demonstrates ongoing contributions to understanding plant responses in changing ecological scenarios.
