Curvularia Leaf Spots of Yams (Dioscorea spp.)

TROPICAL YAMS AND THEIR POTENTIAL Part 3. Dioscorea aJaia

The prevalence of badnaviruses in West African yams (Dioscorea spp.) and evidence of endogenous pararetrovirus sequences in their genomes

Mycotic keratitis due to Curvularia senegalensis and in vitro antifungal susceptibilities of Curvularia spp.

A case of mycotic keratitis due to Curvularia senegalensis is reported. This case represents the third known reported infection caused by this rare species. Fungal hyphae were detected in corneal scrapings, and repeated cultures were positive for this fungi. The patient was presumed cured after a corneal transplant and treatment with itraconazole, but the infection recurred and the patient is w...

New microsatellite loci in the dwarf yams Dioscorea group Epipetrum (Dioscoreaceae).

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from enriched genomic libraries of two taxa of the Chilean Epipetrum group of Dioscorea to assess their levels of genetic diversity and population differentiation. • METHODS AND RESULTS Eleven microsatellite loci were identified. Six out of nine microsatellites from D. biloba amplified in D. humilis, and th...

On Some Mutants for Physiological Leaf Spots

Nine of the physiological leaf spot mutants were described and investigated linkage relation with marker genes. All of them were governed by single recessive genes respectively and the causal genes were designated as a series of spl (spotted leaves) as spl,, spl,......sf&. With eight of them except for sPZ~, the linkage groups were determined as follows: sj+-a linkage group corresponding to A t...
