Advances and Perspectives for Polyploidy Breeding in Orchids
(2021-05)
The orchid market is a dynamic horticultural business in which novelty and beauty command high prices. The two main interests are the development of flowers, from the miniature to the large and showy, and their fragrance. ...
Polyploidy in Orchid Breeding, Advances and Perspectives
(2022-02-15)
The orchid market is a dynamic horticultural business in which novelty and beauty command
high prices. The development of miniature to large and showy flowers, in addition to fragrance,
is mainly of interest. Overall ...
Meiosis Research in Orphan and Non-orphan Tropical Crops
(2019-03-05)
Plant breeding is directly linked to the development of crops that can effectively adapt
to challenging conditions such as soil nutrient depletion, water pollution, drought, and
anthropogenic climate change. These ...
Latin America: Reduced S&T Investment Puts Sustainable Development at Risk
(2020)
Latin America is home to more than 600 million people and has considerable natural
and human resources. However, investment in science and technology (S&T) lags far behind that
in developed countries. This gap represents ...
Meiotic chromosome analysis in tropical orchid genus Sobralia
(2018)
Tropical orchid genus Sobralia comprises terrestrial plants with elongated, cane-like stems
and large symmetrical, yet ephemeral flowers. This genus is distributed throughout Central and South
America and may hold ...
Fanconi anemia ortholog FANCM regulates meiotic crossover distribution in plants
(2021-02-10)
Meiotic recombination increases genetic diversity and manipulation of its frequency and distribution holds great promise in crop breeding. In Arabidopsis thaliana, FANCM (a homolog of mammalian Fanconi anemia complementation ...
Characterization and Development of UV and Aluminium Tolerance in Maize
(2018-11-29)
Current estimates suggest that the world population may increase to 9,6 billion in 2050. Demand for agricultural products may also increase by 50% by 2030, as situation that requires intensification of food production ...
Embryo development in Carica papaya Linn
(2021-03-12)
Papaya (Carica papaya Linn.) is a tropical plant whose draft genome has been sequenced. Papaya produces large fruits rich in vitamins A and C and is an important cash crop in developing countries. Nonetheless, little is ...
Analysis of Meiosis in Nonmodel Tropical Plants: The Case of Carica papaya Linn
(2019-10-04)
To develop plants that are more tolerant to drought, marginal soil fertility, and diseases and that satisfy demands for high yield, new cultivars of the tropical fruit papaya (Carica papaya L.) are needed. Nonetheless,in ...
Diversity in somatic DNA repair efficiencies between commercial inbred maize lines and native Central American purple landraces
(2021)
Maize is a staple food all over the world. Models for climate change suggest that, in the future, cloud formation might be reduced in the tropics increasing the exposure to Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation, a DNA-damaging ...
