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 ...

An overview of existing and promising technologies for national forest monitoring

Matieu, Henry; Réjou-Méchain, Maxime; Cifuentes-Jara, Miguel; Wayson, Craig; Piotto, Daniel; Westfall, James; Michel-Fuentes, José María; Alice-Guier, Federico; Castañeda-Lombis, Héctor; Castellanos-López, Edwin; Cuenca-Lara, Ruby; Cueva-Rojas, Kelvin; Águila-Pasquel, Jhon; Duque-Montoya, Álvaro; Fernández-Vega, Javier (Springer-Verlag France, 2015-09)

The main goal of national forest programs is to lead and steer forest policy development and implementation processes in an inter-sectoral way (FAO 2006). National forest monitoring systems contribute to forest programs ...

Evaluación de tres clases de trigo para la cría de Sitotroga cerealella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) como hospedante utilizado en la cría de enemigos naturales

Méndez, Lucía; Botto, Eduardo; Cagnotti, Cynthia; López, Silvia; Viscarret, Mariana; Flores-Mora, Dora María (Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2016)

The development of standard protocols for artificial rearing is essential for a suitable production of insects. The eggs of the wheat moth Sitotroga cerealella Olivier are used to rear the oophagous parasitoids of the genus ...

20 años de la comercialización mundial de cultivos biotecnológicos

Garro-Monge, Giovanni (2016-11)

The use of living organisms to obtain goods and services for humans is known as biotechnology. From these improvements are achieved such as higher nutritional quality, drought tolerance, pest resistance, and more. This ...

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 ...

Molecular characterization of two accessions of Cydonia oblonga

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. ...

Environmental gradients and the evolution of successional habitat specialization: a test case with 14 neotropical forest sites

Quesada-Monge, Ruperto; Letcher, Susan; Lasky, Jesse; Chazdon, Robin; Norden, Natalia; Wright, Joseph; Meave, Jorge; Muñoz, Rodrigo; Romero-Pérez, Eunice; Andrade, Ana; Andrade, José Luis; Balvanera, Patricia; Becknell, Justin; Bentos, Tony; Radika, Bhaskar; Bongers, Frans; Boukili, Vanessa; Brancalion, Pedro; César, Ricardo; Clark, Deborah; Clark, David; Craven, Dylan; DeFrancesco, Alexander; Dupuy, Juan; Finegan, Bryan; Pérez-García, Eduardo; González-Jiménez, Eugenio; Hall, Jefferson; Harms, Kyle; Hernández-Stefanoni, José Luis; Hietz, Peter; Kennard, Deborah; Killeen, Timothy; Susan, Laurance; Lebrija-Trejos, Edwin; Lohbeck, Madelon; Martínez-Ramos, Miguel; Massoca, Paulo; Mesquita, Rita; Mora, Francisco; Muscarella, Robert; Paz, Horacio; Pineda-García, Fernando; Powers, Jennifer; Rodríguez, Ricardo; Sandor, Manette; Sanaphre-Villanueva, Lucía; Schüller, Elisabeth; Swenson, Nathan; Tauro, Alejandra; Uriarte, María; Van-Breugel, Michiel; Vargas-Ramírez, Orlando; Viani, Ricardo; Wendt, Amanda; Williamson, Bruce (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 ...

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. ...
