      Espitia, Miguel; Castillo, Carlos; Murillo-Gamboa, Olman (Espitia, M., Murillo, O., & Castillo, C. (2016). Ganancia genética esperada en melina (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) en Córdoba (Colombia). Revista Árvore, 40(1), 71-80., 2016)
      El Departamento de Córdoba (Colombia) planea plantar 200000 ha para el 2025 y Gmelina arborea es una de las opciones dada su alta producción de biomasa en turnos cortos. El objetivo del estudio fue estimar el potencial ...
    • Genetic characterization of chayote, Sechium edule (Jacq) Swartz, in Costa Rica by using isozyme markers 

      Abdelnour-Esquivel, Ana; Rocha, Oscar (2007)
      We established protocols for the analysis of genetic diversity in chayote (Sechium edule) by using isozyme markers, thereby determining the level of genetic diversity present in 42 accessions of chayote from Costa Rica. ...
    • Identification of the agr Peptide of Listeria monocytogenes 

      Zetzmann, Marion; Sánchez-Kopper, Andrés; Waidmann, Mark; Blombach, Bastian; Riede, Christian (Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016)
      Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is an important food-borne human pathogen that is able to strive under a wide range of environmental conditions. Its accessory gene regulator (agr) system was shown to impact on biofilm formation ...
    • Micropropagación masiva de Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni en sistemas de inmersión temporal 

      Alvarenga-Venutolo, Silvana; Salazar-Aguilar, Tatiana (Revista Cultivos Tropicales, 2015)
      Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, familia Asteraceae, es conocida como “yerba dulce” por poseer un edulcorante natural. Sus propiedades provienen de la presencia de glicósidos diterpenos denominados esteviósidos y rebaudiósidos ...
    • Towards autotrophic tissue engineering: photosynthetic gene therapy for regeneration 

      Chávez, Myra Noemi; Ludwig-Schenck, Thilo; Hopfner, Ursula; Centeno-Cerdas, Carolina; Somlai-Schweiger, Ian; Schwarz, Christian; Machens, Hans-Günther; Heikenwalder, Mathias; Bono, María Rosa; Allende, Miguel; Nickelsen, Jörg; Egaña, José Tomás (Biomaterials, 2016)
      The use of artificial tissues in regenerative medicine is limited due to hypoxia. As a strategy to overcome this drawback, we have shown that photosynthetic biomaterials can produce and provide oxygen independently of blood ...
