      The uncertainties and sources of variation in projected impacts of climate change on agriculture and terrestrial ecosystems depend not only on the emission scenarios and climate models used for projecting future climates, ...
    • Donoso Núñez, Amanda; Rivas Quevedo, Constanza; Zamorano Carrasco, Álan; Peña Neira, Álvaro; Handford, Michael; Aros Orellana, Danilo (MDPI, 2021)
      Flower colour is mainly due to the accumulation of flavonoids, carotenoids and betalains in the petals. Of these pigments, flavonoids are responsible for a wide variety of colours ranging from pale yellow (flavones, flavonols ...
    • Núñez Lillo, Gerardo; Ulloa Zepeda, Lissette; Pávez, Catalina; Riveros, Aníbal; Blanco Herrera, Francisca; Campos Vargas, Reinaldo; Pedreschi, Romina; Meneses, Claudio (MDPI, 2021)
      Fruit development is a complex process that involves the interplay of cell division, expansion, and differentiation. As a model to study fruit development, nectarines incapable of ripening were described as slow ripening. ...
    • Quiroga, Nicolás; Gamboa, Camila; Soto, Daniela; Pino, Ana María; Zamorano Carrasco, Alan; Campodónico, Juan; Alma, Alberto; Bertaccini, Assunta; Fiore, Nicola (MDPI, 2020)
      To date, phytoplasmas belonging to six ribosomal subgroups have been detected to infect grapevines in Chile in 36 percent of the sampled plants. A new survey on the presence of grapevine yellows was carried out from 2016 ...
    • Escalona Contreras, Víctor; Hinojosa, Andrea; Char, Cielo Dolores; Villena, Paulina; Bustamante, Andrés; Sáenz Hernández, Carmen Luisa (Wiley & Sons, 2015)
      There is an increasing concern about the formation of halogenated compounds when sodium hypochlorite (SH) is used as food sanitizer. This research evaluated the quality of watercress harvested in two seasons treated with ...
    • Homer Bannister, Ian; Prieto, Mayerly; Díaz Martínez, María (Univ. Nacional Cuyo, Argentina, 2020)
      Table grapes are the most widespread fruit species in Chile, requiring a large amount of agrochemical products. Due to this large requirement, agrochemicals such as herbicides need to be applied precisely and in an ...
    • Orellana, Carla; Parraguez Gamboa, Víctor; Arana, Wilmer; Escanilla Cruzat, Juan; Zavaleta, Carmen; Castellaro, Giorgio (MDPI, 2020)
      Simple Summary To adequately manage ruminants in extensive grazing, it is important to have non-invasive techniques to evaluate their nutritional status. Some of these techniques are based on the use of fecal indicators, ...
    • Orellana, Carla; Castellaro Galdames, Giorgio; Escanilla Cruzat, Juan Pablo; Parraguez Gamboa, Victor (MDPI, 2022)
      Simple Summary The main objective of this work was to evaluate the degree of association that exists between three fecal indices (concentrations of 2,6 diaminopimelic acid, nitrogen, and phosphorus) and biomarkers of ruminal ...
    • Escalona Contreras, Víctor (Facultad de Agronomía de la Universidad de la República, 2017)
      Minimally processed and sous vide vegetables are highly susceptible to deterioration and to be re-contaminated by microbial organisms after the completion of the industrial processing. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) ...
    • Guajardo, Verónica; Gainza Cortés, Felipe; Meza, Pablo; Álvarez, Catalina; Prieto, Humberto; Sagredo, Boris; Hinrichsen, Patricio; Muñoz, Carlos (International Society for Horticultural Science, 2017)
      The use of molecular markers to complement phenotypic selection has potential for making both scion and rootstock breeding programs more efficient. Additionally, molecular markers can be used for cultivar identification ...
    • Gutierrez Ilabaca, Alvaro; Snell, Rebecca; Bugmann, Harald (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016)
      Aim It has been suggested that predicting species distributions requires a processbased and preferably dynamic approach. If dynamic models are to contribute towards understanding species distributions, uncertainties ...
    • Lopatin, Javier; Galleguillos Torres, Mauricio; Fassnacht, Fabian E.; Ceballos, Andrés; Hernández, Jaime (IEEE, 2015)
      A multistructural object-based LiDAR approach to predict plant richness in complex structure forests is presented. A normalized LiDAR point cloud was split into four height ranges: 1) high canopies (points above 16 m); 2) ...
    • Hernández, Javier; Lobos, Gustavo A.; Matus, Iván; Pozo, Alejandro del; Silva Candia, Paola; Galleguillos Torres, Mauricio (MDPI AG, 2015)
      Plant breeding based on grain yield (GY) is an expensive and time-consuming method, so new indirect estimation techniques to evaluate the performance of crops represent an alternative method to improve grain yield. The ...
    • Fassnacht, Fabian Ewald; Poblete Olivares, Javiera; Rivero, Lucas; Lopatin Fourcade, Javier; Ceballos Comisso, Andres Manuel; Galleguillos Torres, Mauricio (Elsevier, 2021)
      Vegetation biomass is a globally important climate-relevant terrestrial carbon pool and also drives local hydrological systems via evapotranspiration. Vegetation biomass of individual vegetation types has been ...
    • Escalona Contreras, Víctor; Aguayo, Encarna; Martínez Hernández, Ginés B.; Artés, Francisco (ELSEVIER, 2010)
