In vitro asymbiotic germination for micropropagation of the recalcitrant terrestrial orchid Chloraea crispa (Orchidaceae)
(2017)
Premise of the study: Chloraea crispa is a terrestrial Orchidaceae species native to Chile, characterized by a beautiful and showy inflorescence. The species has a great potential for commercial exploitation in the cut ...
Meristem culture and subsequent micropropagation of Chilean strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis (L.) Duch.)
(2017)
Background: Vegetative propagation of Fragaria sp. is traditionally carried out using stolons. This system of propaga‑
tion, in addition to being slow, can spread plant diseases, particularly serious being viral. In vitro ...
Genetic and morphological characterization of the endangered Austral papaya Vasconcellea chilensis (Planch. ex A. DC.) Solms
(2014)
The Austral papaya (Vasconcellea chilensis) is an endangered species that has valuable characteristics for introgression into other papaya species. These characteristics include disease resistance, cold tolerance and latex ...
Application of inter-simple sequence repeats relative to simple sequence repeats as a molecular marker system for indexing blueberry cultivars
(2013)
Chile, the major exporter of blueberries in South America, grows two species commercially, the highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) and the rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium ashei Reade). Considering the increasing ...
Development and characterization of microsatellite markers in Gaultheria pumila Lf. (Ericaceae)
(2018)
Background: Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for Gaultheria pumila (Ericaceae) to evaluate genetic diversity and population structure within its native range in Chile. This is a very important Ericaceae ...
Inter simple sequence repeat markers associated with flowering time duration in the chilean strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis)
(2013)
The flowering and fructification period of the Chilean strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis (L.) Duch.) is restricted to approximately 2 mo, which seriously limits the commercial development of the species. The objective of the ...
Morphometric and phytochemical characterization of chaura fruits (Gaultheria pumila): A native Chilean berry with commercial potential
(2014)
Background: For the first time, a morphometric characterization of chaura (Gaultheria pumila) fruits has been conducted between natural populations growing in the Villarrica National Park, Araucania Region, Chile. Chaura ...
Efficient protocols for the extraction of microbial DNA from the rhizosphere of hydrophilic forests in Chile
(2012)
A lysis buffer-based protocol (Protocol BA), a modified lysis buffer-based protocol (Protocol BA Mod) and a commercial extraction kit (Protocol PS Kit) (Power Soil, Mo bio Laboratories, CA USA) were each evaluated for their ...
Molecular tools for rapid and accurate detection of black truff (Tuber melanosporum Vitt.) in inoculated nursery plants and commercial plantations in Chile
(2011)
Truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vitt.) culture is an agroforestry sector in Chile of increasing interest due to the high prices that
truffles fetch in the national market and the recent evidence that its commercial production ...
In vitro Propagation of Cedar (Cedrela odorata L.) from juvenile shoots
(2011)
Cedrela odorata L. is one of the most important timber species currently traded in the Caribbean and Central America;
however, it has been intensively exploited. In vitro techniques and clonal propagation can help to ...
