The population structure of Hemileia vastatrix in Brazil inferred from AFLP
Maia, T. A.; Caixeta, E. T.; Mizubuti, E. S. G.; Zambolim, L.; Maciel-Zambolim, E.Efforts to obtain durable resistant cultivars to coffee leaf rust have a long history of disappointment because of the lack of information on the Hemileia vastatrix evolutionary potential. In this study, the AFLP marker was used to analyze the genetic structure of a field population of H. vastatrix from different coffee genotypes cultivated in a wide geographic region of Brazil’s main production areas. A total ...
The Híbrido de Timor germplasm: identification of molecular diversity and resis...
Silva, R. A.; Zambolim, L.; Castro, I. S. L.; Rodrigues, H. S.; Cruz, C. D.; Caixeta, E. T.The main phytosanitary problems affecting global coffee production are the fungal diseases known as rust, caused by Hemileia vastatrix Berkeley and Broome, and coffee berry disease (CBD), induced by Colletotrichum kahawae Waller and Bridge. The main disease control strategy is the use of resistant coffee cultivars. Híbrido de Timor is the most important source of resistant varieties used in breeding programs wo...
