And as thin, salted, crisp chips, they areAmerica's favorite snack food. Potato chips originated inNew Englandas one man's variation on the French-fried potato, and their production was the result not of a sudden stroke of culinary invention but of a fit of pique. In the summer of ...
but the arms race with the pathogen kept going. In the 1970s, a new aggressive strain of the blight appeared with devastating effects. Till then the European version ofPh. infestans, had lacked the capacity for sexual recombination, but this new strain, which originated in the central highland...
Goss EM, Tabima JF, Cooke DEL, Restrepo S, Fry WE, Forbes GA, Fieland VJ, Cardenas M, Grünwald NJ (2014) The Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans originated in central Mexico rather than the Andes. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 111:8791–8796. PMID: 24889615 CAS PubMed Pu...
The researchers concluded that it wasn’t in fact US-1 that caused the blight, but a previously unknown strain, HERB-1, which had originated in the Americas (most likely in Mexico’s Toluca Valley) sometime in the early 19th century before spreading to Europe in the 1840s. HERB-1, they...
Potato cyst nematodes originated in South America, where they coevolved with their solanaceous host plants. Although potato was first brought to Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, it is likely that PCN were introduced from South America in the mid-1800s on material for breeding resistance ag...
(Balendres et al.2016b). This pathogen most likely originated in the Andes region of South America, where the Solanaceous plant family, its main hosts, also stem from and then spread worldwide with the increase in global potato trade and cultivation (Harrison et al.1997). Numerous studies ...
Nowadays biological control is gaining importance due to its eco-friendly in nature. Keywords: potato, late blight, disease, management, fungicides, Phytophthora 1. Introduction The Potato was originated in the hills of Andes and Bolivia in South America, subsequently it was introduced into Europe ...
Hybrid incompatibility can readily isolate certain germplasm resources and genes from genetic exchange, while asexual reproduction greatly reduces the gene exchange frequency, leading to a targeted mutation in sweet potato. Many studies have shown that sweet potato cultivars originated in tropical regions ...
The complete sequences of a Begomovirus and an associated beta-satellite were identified from Croton bonplandianus that originated from Pakistan (Hussain et al 2011). DNA β molecules associated with yellow vein mosaic disease of Urena lobata, Croton bonplandianum, Sida acuminate, and S. rhombi...
Potato Potahto. Like their mates, the fish and chips, this fried delight actually originated in England. Doesn’t matter; Aussies love them, often consuming scallops – a thin slice of potato dipped in batter and deep-fried – on hot summer days at the beach. In Sydney, the words “scal...
