ABSTRACT. Solanum commersonii is a wild species related to the cultivated potato. Some S. commersonii genotypes have been proven to be resistant to the pathogenic bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum, which causes damage in potato and other economically important crops. Here an expression analysis of the response of a resistant S. commersonii genotype against R. solanacearum was performed using microarrays.

ABSTRACT. Though traditionally perceived as weapons, antibiotics are also hypothesized to act as microbial signals in natural habitats. However, while subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics (SICA) are known to shift bacterial gene expression, specific hypotheses as to how SICA influence the ecology of natural populations are scarce. We explored whether antibiotic ?signals?, or SICA, have the potential to alter nutrient utilization, niche overlap, and competitive species interactions among Streptomyces populations in soil.

RESUMEN. Se realizó una validación preliminar de un panel de marcadores SNP seleccionados de genes candidatos, relacionados al eje endócrino que regulan la hormona de crecimiento GH/IGF1, y a la formación y desaturación de ácidos grasos SCD/SREBP1, con características de composición de canal, calidad de carne y perfil de ácidos grasos de la grasa intramuscular en novillos Hereford sometidos a diferentes tratamientos de alimentación durante la etapa de recría y engorde intensivo.

ABSTRACT. Citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), caused by Xylella fastidiosa, is a bacterial disease of great importance to the Brazilian citrus industry. CVC is transmitted by grafting and by leafhoppers of the Cicadellidae and Cercopidae families. There is little information about CVC tolerant sweet orange cultivars (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck). However, previous studies have indicated some resistance to CVC in the ?Navelina ISA 315? cultivar. Based on such information, this study has been carried out to determine the resistance of ?Navelina ISA 315?
