Moniliophthora roreri (MR, frosty pod rot) and M. perniciosa (MP, witches’ broom disease) pose critical threats to cacao production in Latin America. This study explores the biocontrol potential of T…
El aumento de la población mundial y la creciente demanda agrícola ha impulsado a encontrar alternativas sostenibles y seguras ambientalmente para garantizar la calidad de cultivos y la lucha contra …
The bacteria Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a climate-dependent, global threat to many crops of high socio-economic value, including grapevine. Currently designed breeding strategies for Xf-tolerant or …
Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a global bacterial threat for a diversity of plants, including olive trees. However, current understanding of host responses upon Xf-infection is limited to allow early dis…
We investigated SNPs in alternative oxidase (AOX) genes and their connection to ecotype origins (climate, altitude, and rainfall) by using genomic data sets of Arabidopsis and rice populations from…
Selection of reference genes (RGs) for normalization of PCR-gene expression data includes two crucial steps: determination of the between-sample transcriptionally more stable genes, and subsequent ch…
Babaco is a fast-growing herbaceous shrub with great commercial potential because of the organoleptic properties of its fruit. Babaco mosaic virus (BabMV) is a potexvirus in the family Alphaflexiviri…
Metabolomics is a technology that generates large amounts of data and contributes to obtaining wide and integral explanations of the biochemical state of a living organism. Plants are continuously af…
Micropropagation techniques allow the mass production of banana plants but can cause somaclonal variations such as dwarfism. Changes in the metabolite profile during micropropagation of normal (NP) a…
One of the main problems of in vitro plant tissue culture is the poor ventilation in the culture vessels. This leads to morphological and physiological anomalies in regenerated in vitro plants, a cru…
Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is the most striking and prominent example of plant plasticity upon severe stress. Inducing immature carrot seeds perform SE as substitute to germination by auxin treatment…
Este artículo pretende i) revisar el estado del arte en el conocimiento de los problemas fitosanitarios reportados en las fases iniciales del cultivo del cacao en el Ecuador, y ii) describir la prese…
