Participation of plant hormones in determination and progression of somatic embryogenesis
(2005-11)
In vitro culture protocols have been developed for many species, mainly using empirical approaches, to induce somatic embryogenesis from various explant types. However, the underlying biochemical mechanisms governing ...
Seed germination of pitaya (Hylocereus spp.) as affected by seed extraction method, storage, germination conditions, germination assessment approach and water potential
(2019)
To breed and preserve pitaya (Hylocereus spp.) genetic resources, reliable information on seed storage and germination conditions is needed. Therefore, this study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of the following ...
Aflatoxins occurrence through the food chain in Costa Rica: Applying the One Health approach to mycotoxin surveillance
(2017-12)
Aflatoxins (AFs) are toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus spp. and commonly found in crops, grains, feedstuff, and forages. Exposure to AFs has been associated with increased risk of liver cancer and growth retardation ...
Vanilla protoplasts: isolation and electrofusion
(2015)
The vanilla plant is an orchid mainly commercialized for the production of vanillin. This compound is considered the second largest natural flavoring source in the world. In recent years, ...
Oomycete Species Associated with Soybean Seedlings in North America—Part I: Identification and Pathogenicity Characterization
(2017)
Oomycete pathogens are commonly associated with soybean root rot and have been estimated to reduce soybean yields in the United States by 1.5 million tons on an annual basis. Limited information exists regarding the frequency ...
Changes in hormone concentrations during dormancy release of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) seeds
(2008-10)
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) seeds are highly dormant immediately after harvest. In practical horticulture this dormancy has been traditionally overcome by a dry-heat treatment and, more recently, through the application ...

(2004)
Se evaluó el efecto de diferentes estrategias de desinfección, así como de varias concentraciones de la citoquinina 6-bencilamino purina (BAP) en el medio de cultivo, sobre el establecimiento y desarrollo in vitro de ...
Kinetics of mass loss of arabica coffee during roasting process
(2016-03)
Roasting is one of the most complex coffee processing steps due to simultaneous transfers of heat and mass. During this process, beans lose mass because of fast physical and chemical changes that will set color and flavor ...
Phenotype of Arabidopsis thaliana semi-dwarfs with deep roots and high growth rates under water-limiting conditions is independent of the GA5 loss-of-function alleles
(2015-07-10)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The occurrence of Arabidopsis thaliana semi-dwarf accessions carrying inactive alleles at the gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis GA5 locus has raised the question whether there are pleiotropic effects on ...
