    Bonomo MC, OG Martínez, ME Tanco, R Cardozo, Z Avilés

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.82, pp. 119-126, 2013, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2013.82.119

    Abstract The tree fern Alsophila odonelliana is found from southern Bolivia to northwestern Argentina, in the Tucuman-Bolivian forests. Spore germination was tested in three sterile nutritive media: Dyer (D), Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Knudson (K). We also evaluated the effect on gametophyte development of the addition of two growth regulators, BAP and 2,4-D to the culture medium Dyer; 2,4-D was evaluated using two concentrations: 0.1 and 2.0 mg/L, and BAP using three concentrations, 0.01; 0.1 and 1.0 mg/L. We found no significant differences in the germination of spores among all three media. We noted that supplementing More >

    Vázquez MB1, MV Bianchinotti1,2

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.82, pp. 113-118, 2013, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2013.82.113

    Abstract Strains of Mucor, Penicillium and Trichoderma, able to use metsulfuron-methyl (MM) as a sole carbon and energy source, were isolated from agricultural soils in Argentina. This is the first time this ability is recorded in the Mucor or Trichoderma species. When the isolated strains were compared in relation to their capacity to use the herbicide, those of Trichoderma showed the best results. Because of this, they were selected for further assays. The effect of metsulfuron on growth in liquid media was tested. Also, the ability of conidia to germinate in water agar medium containing the target herbicide was More >

    Jiménez-Martínez JH1, MG Gutiérrez-Martínez2, O Franco-Mora1, A González-Huerta2, AT Gutiérrez-Ibáñez2

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.82, pp. 107-112, 2013, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2013.82.107

    Abstract Two accessions of wild grapevines (Vitis spp.) native to Puebla State, Nealticán and Teziutlán, and other two native to Temascaltepec (1 and 2), Mexico State, were cultured in vitro using both Murashige-Skoog (MS) and woody plant medium (WPM) mediums. There were no differences between mediums for shoot generation. However, differences were shown among accessions for explant vigour, callus development, number of roots, leaves and nodes per explant. Rooting was evaluated only in MS medium by adding naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), indole butyric acid (IBA) or indole acetic acid (IAA) at 0.5 mg/L. With the exception of Temascaltepec… More >

    Comparative effectiveness of two nitrogen sources for corn fertilization

    Copperi MZ1, ME M,olesi2, MA Cantamutto2, MM Ron2

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.82, pp. 99-106, 2013, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2013.82.099

    Abstract Corn has not only a high growth potential and a great capacity of biological response to suitable crop management but also may contribute to a better match of crops with environmental offer in Argentina. Nitrogen (N) fertilization must make provision for eventual N losses, and fertilization strategies must be designed so as to minimize their global incidence. The different quick-release N sources show similar efficiencies when they are incorporated, but in surface applications, sources that contain little or no amidic N have a better performance than urea (U). The objective of this paper was to… More >

    Sustainable management and use of a medicinal emblematic plant in Chile: Buddleja globosa Hope

    Wilckens P1, MP Fernández2, M Gómez1, I Peña3, G Montenegro1

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.82, pp. 81-90, 2013, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2013.82.081

    Abstract Buddleja globosa Hope is a well-known native, medicinal plant because of its digestive and cicatrizing properties. Due to the increasing domestic and international demand, B. globosa abundance and distribution in Chile has resulted in the intensive exploitation of the plant’s natural habitat, without consideration of the plant’s regenerative capacity. The main objective of this research was to establish the B. globosa growth cycle and model its regeneration cycle. This would allow for more productive, efficient and sustainable use and management of this species, thus ensuring its long-term conservation. We selected two study sites, one wild and another one… More >

    Cerna E, Y Ochoa, LA Aguirre, M Flores, J Landeros

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.82, pp. 63-68, 2013, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2013.82.063

    Abstract Southeastern potato growing regions from Coahuila and Nuevo León contribute with 15% to domestic production. Such production has been impacted by several factors, in particular Bactericera (=Paratrioza) cockerelli Sulc potato psyllid, one of the most important pests affecting this crop. Its control is based on Insecticide applications, leading to unsatisfactory results and high selection pressure. Five insecticides were evaluated in four field populations of B. cockerelli from the growing region, using a susceptible laboratory line for comparison. The field populations were collected from greenhouse and commercial orchards located at Huachichil, Saltillo, Raíces and San Rafael localities. All… More >

    Márquez-Hernández C1, P Cano-Ríos2, U Figueroa-Viramontes3, JA Avila-Diaz4, N Rodríguez-Dimas2, JL García-Hernández1

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.82, pp. 55-61, 2013, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2013.82.055

    Abstract The scarcity of fertilizers that are allowed in organic agriculture (AO) encourages the search for alternatives, being the use of compost one of the most outstanding. AO has been recognized as a more sustainable system than conventional agriculture. AO is ruled by strict norms which forbid the use of most common fertilizers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of various fertilization treatments on the organic production of greenhousegrown tomato. A completely randomized experimental design with five replications was used, with a 5x2 factorial arrangement. Factors A and B were: a) fertilization… More >
