      We present a phylogenetic analysis using plastid (matK, rbcL) and nuclear (nrITS) DNA for diverse Euploca spp. (formerly Heliotropium section Orthostachys) from the worldwide distribution of a genus and including species ...
    • Salazar Guerrero, Osvaldo; Vargas, Juan; Nájera de Ferrari, Francisco; Seguel Seguel, Oscar; Casanova Pinto, Manuel (Elsevier, 2014)
      The demand for foods in central Chile is increasing and arable land is expanding rapidly onto floodplain soils, which are being cleared for maize cultivation. After harvest, a significant amount of residual nitrogen (N) ...
