• OGM: caso de papa y manzana que no se oxida 

      Garro-Monge, Giovanni; Méndez, Laura (Cámara Costarricense de la Industria Alimentaria., 2016-09)
      Genetically modified organisms are those foods that are improved through biotechnology, where they are modified from one to four genes by genetic engineering. Producing these products improves traits such as nutritional ...
    • Overcoming obstacles to sharing data on tree allometric equations 

      Cifuentes-Jara, Miguel; Matieu, Henry; Réjou-Méchain, Maxime; López, Omar; Wayson, Craig; Michel-Fuentes, José María; Castellanos-López, Edwin; Zapata-Cuartas, Mauricio; Piotto, Daniel; Alice-Guier, Federico; Castañeda-Lombis, Héctor (Springer-Verlag France, 2015-09)
      Advances in ecology face the complexity of ecosystems with dynamics longer than a single scientist’s career. In forestry and REDD+ practice, in particular, our ability to understand forest ecosystem dynamics and to manage ...
    • Polyphenolic composition and antioxidant activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts from Uncaria tomentosa bark and leaves 

      Navarro-Hoyos, Mirtha; Alvarado-Corella, Diego; Moreira-Gonzalez, Ileana; Arnaez-Serrano, Elizabeth; Monagas-Juan, Maria (Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, 2018)
      Uncaria tomentosa constitutes an important source of secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities mainly attributed until recently to alkaloids and triterpenes. We have previously reported for the first-time ...
    • Scientometric analysis of Colombian research on bio-inoculants for agricultural production 

      Zambrano-Moreno, Diana; Avellaneda-Franco, Laura; Zambrano, Gregorio; Bonilla-Buitrago, Ruth (Universitas Scientiarum, 2016)
      The excessive use of synthetic chemical inputs in agricultural production has led to the disruption of biogeochemical cycles. One of the alternatives that arose within the systems of sustainable agriculture was the partial ...
    • Sensibility analysis of the Trace Transform on land coverage images 

      Roman-Brenes, Ricardo; Torres-Rojas, Francisco; De-La-Osa, Álvaro (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
      Aerial or satellital images may be used to produce terrain coverage maps, which in time are a very useful and important tool for decision-making in several fields including biodiversity, telecommunications and natural ...
    • 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 ...
    • Uso de biotecnología modifica salmón para que crezca en la mitad del tiempo convencional 

      Garro-Monge, Giovanni (Revista Alimentaria. Cámara Costarricense de la Industria Alimentaria. Edición 141, año 2015., 2015-01)
      Transgenic crops of plant origin are widely used globally in animal and male diets, however, no genetically modified animal has been approved for human consumption. This article mentions about the process and the regulated ...
