MeSH headings : Colombia; DNA, Fungal / genetics; DNA, Mitochondrial / genetics; DNA, Ribosomal Spacer / genetics; Fungal Proteins / genetics; Fungal Proteins / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Fungal; Genes, Mating Type, Fungal / genetics; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Isoenzymes; Microsatellite Repeats; Phytophthora infestans / genetics; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Solanaceae / microbiology
TL;DR: The phenotypic and molecular characterization of 97 isolates collected from six different solanaceous plants in Colombia revealed a single individual of A2 mating type (from Physalis peruviana) for the first time in Colombia, which has important epidemiological implications for the production of these two crops in Colombia.

Mapping EST-derived SSRs and ESTs involved in resistance to bacterial blight in Manihot esculenta

Genome, 50(12), 1078–1088.

By: D. Somers, C. López*, L. Quesada-Ocampo*, A. Bohórquez*, M. Duque*, J. Vargas*, J. Tohme*, V. Verdier*

author keywords: cassava; EST; SSR; QTL mapping; cassava bacterial blight resistance
MeSH headings : Alleles; Base Sequence; Biomarkers; Chromosome Mapping; Expressed Sequence Tags; Genes, Plant; Genotype; Manihot / genetics; Manihot / microbiology; Minisatellite Repeats; Plant Diseases / genetics; Plant Diseases / immunology; Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide / genetics; Quantitative Trait Loci; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; Xanthomonas
TL;DR: Mapping expressed sequence tags and determining their co-localization with quantitative trait loci (QTLs) may give additional evidence of the role of the corresponding genes in resistance or defense in Cassava. (via Semantic Scholar)
