Response of Endogenous Hormone Concentrations to Two Floral Inductive Treatments, viz. KNO3 and PBZ, in Mango cv. ‘Tommy Atkins’ Growing Under Tropical Conditions
(2012-07-20)
Floral induction (FI) has been intensively studied in mango, more under sub-tropical than under tropical environments. Decreases in temperature below 20 °C, which is common in sub-tropical regions but seldom occurs in many ...
Challenges for Food and Nutrition Security in the Americas: Costa Rica and its commitment to sustainability
(2017-11)
As a small nation with high biodiversity and an extensive system of protected areas, Costa Rica will face particular challenges regarding food security over the next few years. Thus, whatever development model the country ...
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 ...
Endogenous hormone levels in habituated nucellar Citrus callus during the initial stages of regeneration
(2001-01)
Embryogenic nucellar callus cultures of different Citrus species and cultivars growing in hormone-free medium were transferred to medium containing either sucrose or glycerol as the only carbohydrate source. Glycerol has ...
Evolution of endogenous hormone concentration in embryogenic cultures of carrot during early expression of somatic embryogenesis
(2004-09)
Embryogenic callus and suspension cultures of carrot (Daucus carota L., cv. Nantaise), growing on/in medium including 1 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), were transferred to medium with or without this plant ...
Micropropagación de Guadua angustifolia Kunth a partir de explantes nodales
(2004)
Se evaluó el efecto de diferentes estrategias de desinfección, así como de varias concentraciones de la citoquinina 6-bencilamino purina (BAP) en el medio de cultivo, sobre el establecimiento y desarrollo in vitro de ...
Changes in hormone concentrations during dormancy release of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) seeds
(2008-10)
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) seeds are highly dormant immediately after harvest. In practical horticulture this dormancy has been traditionally overcome by a dry-heat treatment and, more recently, through the application ...
Effect of hydrogen cyanamide on the endogenous hormonal content of pea seedlings (Pisum sativum L.)
Efeito da cianamida hidrogenada sobre o conteúdo de hormônios endógenos em plântulas de ervilha (Pisum sativum L.)
(2008)
Hydrogen cyanamide (HC) has been used to break bud and seed dormancy and to improve rooting in several species, responses usually associated with the action of plant hormones. However, very few studies have measured ...
Ultraestructura del bambú Guadua paniculata (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) de Costa Rica
(2006-12)
Sections of leaf lamina, leaf sheath and branches of adult Guadua paniculata collected in Costa Rica,
were studied ultrastructurally. Diagnostic ultrastructural characteristics include the cellular pattern of the adaxial ...
