Late Blight of Potato and Tomato
EDIS, 2013 Both potato and tomato are susceptible to late blight, an aggressive disease capable of rapidly destroying entire fields. The disease is distributed worldwide and occurs wherever tomatoes or potatoes are grown, and conditions favor disease development.

Potato R1 resistance gene confers resistance against Phytophthora infestans in transgenic tomato plants [PDF]
, 2010 Tomato is challenged by several pathogens which cause loss of production. One such pathogen is the oomycete Phytophthora infestans which is able to attack all the aerial parts of the plant.

Boosting potato defence against late blight [PDF]
, 2013 For more than one century efforts has been made to obtain potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars resistant to late blight. However, introduced resistance has repeatedly been overcome by Phytophthora infestans (Mont) de Bary.

High resolution mapping of a novel late blight resistance gene Rpi-avll, from the wild Bolivian species Solanum avilesii [PDF]
, 2011 Both Mexico and South America are rich in Solanum species that might be valuable sources of resistance (R) genes to late blight (Phytophthora infestans). Here, we focus on an R gene present in the diploid Bolivian species S. avilesii.

How sexual reproduction affects the population biology of Phytophthora infestans [PDF]
, 2012 Phytophthora infestans is a rapidly evolving and highly adaptable pathogen. It is the cause of late blight, one of the most devastating diseases in potato production. Depending on whether both mating types are present or not, P.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To understand the heterogeneous performance outcomes of sustainable entrepreneurship, this study investigates the role of founder impression management. We develop and test a moderated mediation model, drawing on signaling and impression management theories, using a dual‐study design with longitudinal data (n = 217) and survey data (n = 259 ...
