On optimal use of a patchy environment: archaeobotany in the Argentinean Andes (Argentina)
(Elsevier, 2014-12)
In this paper, optimal foraging theory is used to interpret wild plant collecting behaviors using experimental data and remains recovered from eleven archaeological sites in the Argentine Andes. Using simple techniques ...
Does access to natural environments explain differences in the use of wild plants between rural and urban populations?
(Soc. Botánica México, 2021)
Background: The use of wild plants depends on a number of sociocultural and ecological factors, such as the ease of access to natural environments. This limitation for urban inhabitants leads to differences in the knowledge ...
Fertilization in Ugni molinae plants subjected to a domestication process increased insect biodiversity
(2015)
Plant domestication is a process in which plants increase their productive characteristics, such as size or
number of seed according to the human needs. However, these improvements provoke changes on both insect
community ...
Characterization of common bean wild populations for their in situ conservation in Northwestern Argentina
(2017-08)
In situ conservation of wild species is a method of conservation that allows keeping populations in their natural environments, and set the strategies for maintaining the natural populations. The Active Bank of Northwestern ...
Response to water deficit of semi-desert wild potato Solanum kurtzianum genotypes collected from different altitudes
(Elsevier Ireland, 2021-07)
Drought-sensitive crops are threatened as a consequence of limited available water due to climate change. The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is susceptible to drought and within its wild relative species, Solanum ...
I eat the manofê so it is not forgotten : Local perceptions and consumption of native wild edible plants from seasonal dry forests in Brazil
(2014)
Background: There is little information available on the factors influencing people's selection of wild plants for consumption. Studies suggest a suitable method of understanding the selection of edible plants is to assess ...
Expression of internal reproductive barriers in a germplasm bank accession of the wild potato Solanum chacoense Bitter in three ex situ regeneration cycles
(Springer, 2021-03)
Wild potatoes (Solanum sp.) are important reservoirs of desirable genes for potato breeding. Most of them are diploid and obligate outcrossers, with both sexual and asexual reproduction. Samples of natural populations are ...
Influence of altitude and enhanced ultraviolet-B radiation on tuber production, seed viability, leaf pigments and morphology in the wild potato species Solanum kurtzianum Bitter & Wittm collected from an elevational gradient
(Elsevier Ireland, 2017-08)
Climate change could lead to an upward shift in plant distribution, exposing populations to higher levels of ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation. In the framework of an in situ strategy for conserving potato wild relatives, we ...
