      Successional gradients are ubiquitous in nature, yet few studies have systematically examined the evolutionary origins of taxa that specialize at different successional stages. Here we quantify successional habitat ...
    • Molecular characterization and genetic diversity of Jatropha curcas L. in Costa Rica 

      Vásquez-Mayorga, Marcela; Fuchs, Eric; Hernández, Eduardo; Herrera, Franklin; Hernández, Jesús; Moreira-González, Ileana; Arnáez-Serrano, Elizabeth; Barboza, Natalia (2017)
      We estimated the genetic diversity of 50 Jatropha curcas samples from the Costa Rican germplasm bank using 18 EST-SSR, one G-SSR and nrDNA-ITS markers. We also evaluated the phylogenetic relationships among samples using ...

      Alvarado-Marchena, Luis; Flores-Mora, Dora María; Chacón-Cerdas, Randall; Schmidt-Durán, Alexander; Alvarado-Ulloa, Carlos (Revista Agronomía Mesoamericana, 2015)
      El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar el uso del espaciador plastídico trnH-psbA y la secuencia codificante matK como posibles marcadores para la caracterización molecular de dos accesiones de membrillo (C. ...
    • Molecular identification of Trichoderma spp. in garlic and onion fields and In Vitro antagonism trials on Sclerotium cepivorum 

      Alvarado-Marchena, Luis; Rivera-Méndez, William (Revista Brasileira de Ciencia do Solo, 2016)
      Trichoderma species are non-pathogenic microorganisms that protect against fungal diseases and contribute to increased crop yields. However, not all Trichoderma species have the same effects on crop or a pathogen, whereby ...
