Viruses causing severe mosaic, epinasty, defoliation, and premature death of Passiflora spp. were isolated from west central Colombia. Western blot analyses indicated the presence of potyviruses. Two Colombian isolates (COL-22 and -GR) were compared to known potyviruses as to host range, symptoma...

Isolates of Sphaceloma manihoticola, the asexual stage of Elsinoe brasiliensis, were collected from several regions of south-central Brazil. The isolates were obtained from samples of leaves, stems, and petioles of cassava (Manihot esculenta) and the weedy Euphorbia heterophylla ( amendoim bravo ...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a major staple crop in developing countries and a large source of raw material for industrial purposes as flour, starch, and ethanol. In July 2012, 24 cassava genotypes (corresponding to 1.85% of the accessions) with typical symptoms of frogskin disease (CFSD...

Una de las principales estrategias para el manejo del Añublo Bacterial de la Yuca (CBB), causado por Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis es el uso de resistencia varietal, que implica desarrollar variedades de yuca con resistencia genética duradera. Para tal fin, es necesario conocer los genes q...

Cassava is one of the main carbohydrate sources in the tropics, and it has worldwide importance as basic food for millions of persons in America and Africa. This root crop is affected by cassava frog skin disease that in Colombia produces yield losses of almost 90%. A phytoplasma was associated w...

The application of biotechnology tools has made it possible to make significant advances in the detection of pathogens and in the study of the genetic variability of pathogen populations. As a result, adequate disease management strategies can be planned, and disease resistance markers for plants...

Many types of symptoms associated with discolored grain have been observed on rice (Oryza sativa) sheaths, leaves, and grain in Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Surinam, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. These include brown necrotic lesions ranging from small specks to large brown to maroon sheath blotches. ...
