This work analyses the genetic variation and evolutionary patterns of recessive resistance loci involved in matching-allele (MA) host-pathogen interactions, focusing on the pvr2 resistance gene to potyviruses of the wild pepper Capsicum annuum glabriusculum (chiltepin). Chiltepin grows in a variety of wild habitats in Mexico, and its cultivation in home gardens started about 25 years ago. Potyv...

Th e term “planta hortifuga“ refers to all cultivated plant species that have escaped from cultivation and grow spontaneously in diff erent natural, semi-natural or manmade habitats.

Nickel (Ni) availability in soil varies as a function of pH. Plants require Ni in small quantities for normal development, especially in legumes due its role in nitrogen (N) metabolism. This study investigated the effect of soil base saturation, and Ni amendments on Ni uptake, N accumulation in the leaves and grains, as well as to evaluate organic acids changes in soybean. In addition, two N as...

Objective. To characterize the fungal pathogenic complex of root zone cultivated soybean plants grown on sod-medium podzolic soil, to identify most harmful pathogens diseases. Methods. Phytopathogenic micromycetes were isolated from affected plants. For this, segments plant material (roots, seeds, leaf blade) (3–5 mm) thoroughly washed for 15 min under running water, their surface was sterilize...
