(2013-09)Leaf samples of Solanum lycopersicum, Capsicum annuum, Cucurbita moschata, Cucurbita pepo, Sechium edule and Erythrina spp. were collected. All samples were positive for begomoviruses using polymerase chain reaction and ... -
Oomycete Species Associated with Soybean Seedlings in North America—Part I: Identification and Pathogenicity Characterization
(2017)Oomycete pathogens are commonly associated with soybean root rot and have been estimated to reduce soybean yields in the United States by 1.5 million tons on an annual basis. Limited information exists regarding the frequency ... -
Oomycete Species Associated with Soybean Seedlings in North America—Part II: Diversity and Ecology in Relation to Environmental and Edaphic Factors
(2017)Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is produced across a vast swath of North America, with the greatest concentration in the Midwest. Root rot diseases and damping-off are a major concern for production, and the primary causal ... -
Papaya
(2015-01-01)Papaya (Carica papaya) is a semiwoody, usually single-stemmed, herbaceous plant (Fig. 1). It originated along the Caribbean lowlands of Mesoamerica and is now extensively and exclusively distributed in tropical and subtropical ... -
Papaya ringspot virus and Cucumber mosaic virus associated with a severe mosaic in melon
(1991-09)Severe mosaic disease was observed in several melon fields in Costa Rica during the period 1987-1991. Two viruses, papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were associated in single and mixed infections ... -
Participation of plant hormones in determination and progression of somatic embryogenesis
(2005-11)In vitro culture protocols have been developed for many species, mainly using empirical approaches, to induce somatic embryogenesis from various explant types. However, the underlying biochemical mechanisms governing ... -
Particle size and roasting on water sorption in conilon coffee during storage
(2016)The aim of this work was to evaluate alterations on the water sorption of coffee due to the effect of roast, grind and storage in two temperatures (10 and 30 ºC) during 180 days. Crude grain coffee (Coffea canephora) with ... -
