Environmental gradients and the evolution of successional habitat specialization: a test case with 14 neotropical forest sites
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2015-09)
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 ...
Micropropagación masiva de Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni en sistemas de inmersión temporal
(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 ...
Enraizamiento de vitroplantas de membrillo (Cydonia oblonga) por medio de inmersión temporal automatizada y su aclimatación
(Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2015)
El membrillo (Cydonia oblonga) es un frutal no tradicional en Costa Rica que presenta propiedades médicas y nutricionales, sin embargo la lentitud del crecimiento y enraizamiento dificulta obtener poblaciones homogéneas ...
Conservación in vitro de chayote (Sechium edule)
(2007)
La técnica de conservación in vitro a mediano plazo fue examinada en chayote. Para ello se determinó la supervivencia de los brotes después de la adición de altas concentraciones de sacarosa (0, 30, 50, 60, 70 y 80 g/l) y ...
Genetic characterization of chayote, Sechium edule (Jacq) Swartz, in Costa Rica by using isozyme markers
(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. ...
Towards autotrophic tissue engineering: photosynthetic gene therapy for regeneration
(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 ...
Identification of the agr Peptide of Listeria monocytogenes
(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 ...
Molecular identification of Trichoderma spp. in garlic and onion fields and In Vitro antagonism trials on Sclerotium cepivorum
(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 ...
Ganancia genética esperada en melina (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) en Córdoba (Colombia)
(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 ...
Callogenesis and cell suspension establishment of tropical highland blackberry (Rubus adenotrichos Schltdl.) and its microscopic analysis
(Springer, 2016)
Blackberries are fruits produced worldwide, with 25 % of their production centered in Mexico, Central and South America. Tropical highland blackberry is a fruit that can potentially enhance human health, due to their high ...
