      Vine performance following preveraison shoot trimming is well documented, but the consequences of this treatment later in the season are poorly understood. Here, a four-year study was conducted in a mature vineyard of ...
    • Correa, José; Mamani, Maribel; Muñoz Espinoza, Claudia; González Agüero, Mauricio; Defilippi, Bruno G.; Campos Vargas, Reinaldo; Pinto, Manuel; Hinrichsen, Patricio (American Society for Enology and Viticulture, 2016-04)
      Berry firmness is one of the most important quality traits in table grape production and, consequently, a key aspect for table grape breeding programs. To identify the genes determining the berry firmness in grapes, a ...
    • Bergmann, J.; Reyes Garcia, Luis I.; Ballesteros Cataldo, Carolina; Cuevas Rivas, Yuri; Flores, M.; Curkovic Sekul, Tomislav (Entomological Society of Brazil, 2016)
      Proeulia triquetra Obraztsov (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is an occasional pest in fruit orchards in central-southern Chile. In order to develop species-specific lures for detection and monitoring of this species, we identified ...
    • González, M.; Salazar, E.; Castillo, J.; Morales, P.; Mura-Jornet, I.; Maldonado, J.; Silva Ascencio, Herman; Carrasco, B. (Springer, 2016)
      Prunus salicina is one of the most economically important stone fruits. However, there is scarce genetic information available, which makes it difficult to implement marker-assisted selection (MAS) in genetic improvement ...
    • Carmona, Juan; Reginato Meza, Gabino; Peppi Aronowsky, María Cecilia (Amer Pomological Soc, 2016)
      This study quantifies the effect of dehydration during storage of bare root grape vines delivered from the nursery and planted in winter. In that period, plants are at risk of dehydration, but it has not been well studied.. ...
    • Meneses, Claudio; Ulloa Zepeda, Lissette; Cifuentes Esquivel, Alejandra; Infante Espiñeira, Rodrigo; Cantin, Celia M.; Batlle, Ignasi; Arus, Pere; Eduardo, Iban (Springer, 2016)
      The peach [Prunus persica L. (Batsch)] slow ripening (SR) trait is a mutation preventing the normal ripening process. Individuals with this phenotype are discarded in peach breeding programs. This trait is determined by a ...
    • Silva Ascencio, Herman; Garrido Salinas, Marco; Valenzuela Bonomo, Carlos; Morales Salinas, Luis; Valenzuela Jensen, Christian; Pavez Rebolledo, Sebastián; Alister Rodríguez, Sebastián (Elsevier, 2016)
      Chia (Salvia hispanica L.), has achieved economic importance due to the products which are obtained from its leaves with antioxidant capacity and especially its seeds, because they contain omega 3. However, there is a lack ...
    • Araneda Tolosa, Cristian; Larraín Barth, María Angélica; Hecht, Benjamín; Narum, Shawn (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
      Chilean mussel populations have been thought to be panmictic with limited genetic structure. Genotyping-by-sequencing approaches have enabled investigation of genomewide variation that may better distinguish populations ...
