      This study investigated the impact of gross chromosomal rearrangements, specifically translocations and inversions, on the division of pollen mother cells in hybrids Dtps. Queen Beer, Dtps. Sinica Sunday, Dtps. Sweet ...
    • Draft Genome Sequences of Two Cyanobacteria Leptolyngbya spp. Isolated from Microbial Mats in Miravalles Thermal Spring, Costa Rica 

      Brenes Guillén, Laura Natalia; Vidaurre Barahona, Daniela; Mora López, Marielos; Uribe Lorío, Lorena (2021)
      We report the draft genome sequences of Leptolyngbya sp. strain 7M and Leptolyngbya sp. strain 15MV, isolated from Miravalles Thermal Spring, Costa Rica. The thermophilic cyanobacteria exhibit unique diversity features ...
    • External Morphology of Tagosodes orizicolus (Homoptera: Delphacidae) Revealed by Scanning Electron Microscopy 

      Mora Castro, Rebeca; Retana Salazar, Axel P.; Espinoza Esquivel, Ana Mercedes (2001)
      A comprehensive analysis of the ultrastructure of the delphacid rice pest Tagosodes orizicolus (Muir) was undertaken using scanning electron microscopy to resolve taxonomic problems in the distinction of females and nymphs ...
    • Meiotic Chromosome Behavior and Capsule Setting in Doritaenopsis Hybrids 

      Bolaños Villegas, Pablo Alberto; Chin, Shih-Wen; Chen, Fure-Chyi (J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 133(1):107–116. 2008, 2008-10-06)
      The development of new cultivars in Doritaenopsis Guillaum. & Lami orchids is often hindered by factors such as low seed count in hybrids. Cytological study may offer the ability to develop new hybrids by revealing cultivars ...
    • Pollen development: a play with many actors
