México tiene la mayor diversidad global de especies pinos y poco se sabe sobre interacción Pinus-Dendroctonus. Nuestras preguntas fueron: 1) ¿Qué Dendroctonus pueden recolectar en trampas con atrayentes generalistas un bosque mixto pinos? 2) ¿Es diferente presencia entre sus clases tamaño diamétrico? 3) ¿Cuáles son los valores importancia ecológica relativos (VIE) las A través muestreo punto cu...

Drought tolerance was evaluated in twelve cultivars of three ornamental Tagetes species (T. patula, T. tenuifolia and T. erecta). A stress treatment was performed by completely stopping watering of plants maintained in controlled greenhouse conditions. After three weeks, several plant growth parameters (stem length (SL), fresh weight (FW) and water content (WC)), photosynthetic pigments (chloro...

We study the nonlinear difference equation xn = max { An xn−1 , Bn xn−2k−1 } , n ∈ N0, where k is any fixed positive integer and the coefficients An,Bn are positive and periodic with the same period 2. The special case when k = 1 has been investigated earlier by Mishev, Patula and Voulov. Here we extend their results to the general case. AMS subject classification: 39A10.

Exotic tree plantations have been considered as a management strategy for the rehabilitation of indigenous tree communities in situations that require human intervention to assure forest ecosystem rehabilitation. This study evaluated the value of pine Pinus caribaea and Pinus patula and cypress Cupressus lusitanica plantations as a means o f permitting indigenous trees to become established on ...

The phylogenetic relationships of 15 taxa from Hystrix and the related genera Leymus (NsXm), Elymus (StH), Pseudoroegneria (St), Hordeum (H), Psathyrostachys (Ns), and Thinopyrum (E) were examined by using the Giemsa C-banded karyotype. The Hy. patula C-banding pattern was similar to those of Elymus species, whereas C-banding patterns of the other Hystrix species were similar to those of Leymus...

BACKGROUND Performing chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) isolation is considered a major challenge among different plant groups, especially conifers. Isolating chloroplasts in conifers by such conventional methods as sucrose gradient and high salt has not been successful. So far, plastid genome sequencing protocols for conifer species have been based mainly on long-range PCR, which is known to be time-con...

The occurrence of thiophenic compounds in diverse plant organs and in in vitro root-, callus- and cell suspension cultures of Tagetes patula cv. Carmen was investigated using capillary GLC and GLC-MS. The separation of thiophenes by capillary GLC and the group specific MS fragmentation with the typical sulfur isotope peaks allowed the unequivocal assignment of individual thiophenes in complex m...
