Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Isolates Associated with Tomato and Potato Crops in Colombia.

Late blight disease, caused by the plant pathogen , is one of the major threats for tomato and potato crops. Monitoring the populations of . is important to determine if there are changes in the sensitivity to fungicides and host preference.

Searching for the Mechanism that Mediates Mefenoxam-Acquired Resistance in and How It Is Regulated.

, the causal agent of late blight disease of potatoes, is mainly controlled by the use of fungicides. Isolates that are resistant to commonly used fungicides have been reported. Also, several studies show that originally mefenoxam-sensitive isolates acquire resistance to this fungicide when exposed to sublethal concentrations.

The subfornical organ and organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis: Critical roles in cardiovascular regulation and the control of fluid balance.

In this chapter, we review the extensive literature describing the roles of the subfornical organ (SFO), the organum vasculosum of the terminalis (OVLT), and the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO), comprising the lamina terminalis, in cardiovascular regulation and the control of fluid balance. We present this information in the context of both historical and technological developments which can effectively be overlaid upon each other. We describe intrinsic anatomy and connectivity and then discuss early work which described how circulating angiotensin II acts at the SFO to stimulate drinking and increase blood pressure.

Differential Susceptibility of Tree Tomato () Cultivars to Late Blight Caused by .

Host-pathogen interactions of a new species of , causal agent of late blight of tree tomato ( Cav.), identified as , were investigated with four different cultivars. Thirty-six isolates, collected from southern Colombia between 2008 and 2009, were used to inoculate common tree tomato cultivars, Común, Híbrido, Injerto, and Holandés.

Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers Associated with Mycelial Growth (at 15, 20, and 25°C), Mefenoxam Resistance, and Mating Type in .

Phenotypic diversity among individuals defines the potential for evolutionary selection in a species. epidemics are generally thought to be favored by moderate to low temperatures, but temperatures in many locations worldwide are expected to rise as a result of global climate change. Thus, we investigated variation among individuals of for relative growth at different temperatures.
