Effect of macronutrients and sucrose concentration on in vitro growth of Drosera capensis L. (Droseraceae) plants, and evaluation of six substrates for acclimatization
(2011-01)
The effect of two concentrations of the Murashige and Skoog macronutrients (full and half strength), in combination with three concentrations of sucrose (1.5, 3.0 and 4.5% w/v), was evaluated on the in vitro growth of ...
Medicinal plants with inhibitory properties against snake venoms
(2005)
Envenomations due to snake bites are commonly treated by parenteral administration of horse or
sheep-derived polyclonal antivenoms aimed at the neutralization of toxins. However, despite the widespread
success of this ...
Does a polyphagous caterpillar have the same gut microbiota when feeding on different species of food plants?
(Revista de Biología Tropical 50(2): 547-560, 2002, 2002)
We used classical culture techniques to explore gut bacteria and changes associated with dietary change in the highly polyphagous, tropical caterpillar Automeris zugana(Saturniidae). Fifty-five third instar wild-caught ...
In vitro propagation of bamboo species through axillary shoot proliferation: a review
(2017)
Bamboos, very relevant plants in many countries around the world, are propagated at large scale with extreme difficulties. Use of seeds is challenging because of plant’s sporadic flowering and long flowering cycles, together ...
In favor of establishment: chromatid cohesion in plants
(2017-05-23)
In eukaryotic organisms, the correct regulation of sister chromatid cohesion, whereby sister chromatids are paired and held together, is essential for accurate segregation of the sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes ...
An Insect Herbivore Microbiome with High Plant Biomass-Degrading Capacity
(PLoS Genetics. September 2010. Volume 6, Issue 9. e1001129, 2010-09)
Herbivores can gain indirect access to recalcitrant carbon present in plant cell walls through symbiotic associations with lignocellulolytic microbes. A paradigmatic example is the leaf-cutter ant (Tribe: Attini), which ...

Salivary gland morphology, tissue tropism and the progression of tospovirus infection in Frankliniella occidentalis
(2016)
Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is transmitted by thrips in a propagative manner; however, progression of virus infection in the insect is not fully understood. The goal of this work was to study the morphology and infection ...
In vitro propagation of purple pitahaya (Hylocereus costaricensis [F.A.C. Weber] Britton & Rose) cv. Cebra
(2012-10)
Limitations to large-scale propagation of purple pitahaya (Hylocereus costaricensis [F.A.C. Weber] Britton & Rose), a potential source of betalains for the food industry, can be overcome through utilization of in vitro ...
Nutrient accumulation and export in teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) plantations of Central America
(2015)
This study aims at assessing the nutrient sustainability of highly productive teak plantations in Central America by analyzing the nutrient accumulation dynamics at different ages and the allocation patterns throughout a ...
