Growth regulators,photoperiod, and flowering in potatoes     

H. Lozoya-Saldaña  I. Miranda-Velázquez 《American Journal of Potato Research》1987,64(7):377-382

The effect of 25 ppm gibberellic acid (GA₃), 7,500 ppm Gapol^(R) (0.4% molybdate; 0.42% cobalt; 0.56% tungstate; 2.84% borax; 4 ppm indoleacetic acid; 4 ppm naphthyltalamic acid; and 2 ppm ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and of two photoperiods (12 and 18 h daily) on flowering of potato cv Marijke was studied under greenhouse conditions. GA³ specifically reduced the number of days required for flowering, and Gapol^(R), or long days, favored bud retention. When combined, only a slight additive effect was observed. In most cases spraying the products on plants subjected to long days resulted in an increase in the number of floral buds, but their attachment to the plant was mainly influenced by the presence of Gapol^(R).  相似文献   

Thermotherapy and tissue culture for elimination of potato virus X (PVX) in Mexican potato cultivars resistant to late blight     

H. Lozoya-Saldaña  O. Merlin-Lara 《American Journal of Potato Research》1984,61(12):735-739

Plants from 6 potato cultivars uniformly infected with potato virus X (PVX) were exposed to darkness and gradual temperature increases from 37 to 40 C, during a two-week period. This was followed by shoot tip culture to obtain virus free individuals. The procedure was effective in obtaining PVX-free propagation material from 4 of the 6 varieties. Differences were observed in the response of the cultivars to the heat and to thein vitro culture. At least one plant from every cultivar showed repeated negative serological reaction against PVX after the tissue culture regeneration, except Atzimba and Montsama. Tollocan and Murca were the most resistant to heat, developed better duringin vitro culture and resulted in the largest number of PVX-negative plants. Rosita was intermediate, and Juanita did not adapt to heat stress.  相似文献   

Antigenotoxicity and Antioxidant Activity of Acerola Fruit (Malpighia glabra L.) at Two Stages of Ripeness     

Nunes Rda S  Kahl VF  Sarmento Mda S  Richter MF  Costa-Lotufo LV  Rodrigues FA  Abin-Carriquiry JA  Martinez MM  Ferronatto S  Ferraz Ade B  da Silva J 《Plant foods for human nutrition (Dordrecht, Netherlands)》2011,66(2):129-135

Genotoxic and antigenotoxic effects of acerola fruit at two stages of ripeness were investigated using mice blood cells. The results show that no ripeness stage of acerola extracts presented any genotoxic potential to damage DNA (Comet assay) or cytotoxicity (MTT assay). When antigenotoxic activity was analyzed, unripe fruit presented higher DNA protection than ripe fruit (red color) extract. The antioxidant capacity of substances also showed that unripe samples inhibit the free radical DPPH more significantly than the ripe ones. The results about determination of compounds made using HPLC showed that unripe acerola presents higher levels of vitamin C as compared to ripe acerola. Thus, vitamin C and the complex mixture of nutrients of Malpighia glabra L., and especially its ripeness stages, influenced the interaction of the fruit extract with the DNA. Acerola is usually consumed when ripe (red fruit), although it is the green fruit (unripe) that has higher potential as beneficial to DNA, protecting it against oxidative stress.  相似文献   

Comparison of hydroponic culture and culture in a peat/sand mixture and the influence of nutrient solution and plant density on seed potato yields     

J. Muro  V. Díaz  J. L. Goñi  Carmen Lamsfus 《Potato Research》1997,40(4):431-438

Summary Two culture systems for propagating first generation potatoes were compared; the traditional system used a peat/sand mixture with mineral fertilizer, and hydroponic culture used perlite and nutrient solution. Total production and the number of tubers obtained using the hydroponic system were significantly higher than using the traditional culture system. Tuber yields from in vitro plants and minitubers depended upon time of year. During the autumn/winter cycle yield from minitubers was double that from in vitro plants, whereas the reverse was true during the spring/summer cycle. Four hydroponic test cultures were carried out to study the influence of seed density. The number of tubers obtained increased significantly with seed density but there was no decrease in the number of large-diameter tubers.  相似文献   

Molecular Analysis of Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary from Chapingo,Mexico. Phylogeographic Referential     

Norma Marina Alarcón-Rodríguez  Ernestina Valadez-Moctezuma  Héctor Lozoya-Saldaña 《American Journal of Potato Research》2014,91(5):459-466

An Andean origin of Phytophthora infestans was originally based on written records, and recently inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear gene genealogies, which emphasize a common South American origin of the European isolates, and absence of the I-b haplotype in Mexico (recently identified in Tlaxcala, Mexico). In order to compare such results, we sequenced the nuclear genes β-tubulin, Ras, and Intron Ras, and rDNA ITS regions in 24 P. infestans genotypes isolated, identified, and selected, during three crop growing cycles in Chapingo, Mexico. The pathogen showed homology and 100 % sequence similarities to the ones reported for the Andes and Europe β-tubulin, Ras, and Intron Ras genes. Results for the ITS region were inconclusive. The molecular oomycete similarities from the three geographical regions (South America, Europe, and Mexico), and the Mexican genotypes characteristics reported in the species supports the hypothesis of the location of P. infestans diversity and a center of dispersal in the central highlands of Mexico.  相似文献

Resistance of Corynespora cassiicola from soybean to QoI and MBC fungicides in Brazil     

Flávia E. de Mello  Valéria S. Lopes-Caitar  Sheila A. Xavier-Valencio  Helen P. da Silva  Sören Franzenburg  Andreas Mehl  Joseph-Alexander Verreet  Maria I. Balbi-Peña  Francismar C. Marcelino-Guimaraes  Cláudia V. Godoy 《Plant pathology》2022,71(2):373-385

Fungicide sprays on soybean in Brazil have contributed to the selection of less sensitive isolates of Corynespora cassiicola. We collected 59 isolates of C. cassiicola from three Brazilian states and two isolates from Paraguay. We investigated their EC₅₀ to quinone outside inhibitors (QoI) and methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC), any cross-resistance to compounds within QoI and MBC groups, and characterized the polymorphisms in their cytb and β-tubulin genes. Local associations of polymorphisms identified in each gene were statistically correlated with assays results. In total, 79% and 74% of the isolates were classified as resistant to QoI and MBC fungicides, respectively. There was positive cross-resistance to active ingredients within QoI and MBC groups. For QoI, all isolates presented heteroplasmy in G143A of cytb gene; the mutations F129L and G137R were not found. For MBC, 63% of isolates possessed E198A and 21% possessed F200Y mutations, associated with reduced control by MBC fungicides. Heteroplasmy was identified in two and one isolates from Brazil with E198A and F200Y mutations, respectively. The resistance factor for isolates with E198A (10.9) was statistically similar to the isolate with F200Y (8.8) mutation. Genic association analysis of the in vitro assays using discriminatory doses proved them to be accurate. Reduced sensitivity of C. cassiicola to QoI and MBC was also identified in isolates from Paraguay and resistance to QoI and MBC was widely present in C. cassiicola isolates from the main soybean-producing states in Brazil. Thus, integrated management measures should be adopted to manage soybean target spot in these countries.  相似文献
