RESUMEN
Kleb. is a pathogenic fungus causing wilting, chlorosis, and early dying in potato ( L.). Genetic mapping of resistance to was done using a diploid population of potato. The major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for resistance was found on chromosome 5. The gene, controlling earliness of maturity and tuberization, was mapped within the interval. Another QTL on chromosome 9 co-localized with the wilt resistance gene marker. Epistasis analysis indicated that the loci on chromosomes 5 and 9 had a highly significant interaction, and that functioned downstream of The alleles were sequenced and found to encode StCDF1.1 and StCDF1.3. Interaction between the resistance allele and the was demonstrated, but not for Genome-wide expression QTL (eQTL) analysis was performed and genes with eQTL at the and loci were both found to have similar functions involving the chloroplast, including photosynthesis, which declines in both maturity and wilt. Among the gene ontology (GO) terms that were specific to genes with eQTL at the , but not the locus, were those associated with fungal defense. These results suggest that controls fungal defense and reduces early dying in wilt through affecting genetic pathway controlling tuberization timing.

Adventitious rooting (AR) is essential in clonal propagation. Eucalyptus globulus is relevant for the cellulose industry due to its low lignin content. However, several useful clones are recalcitrant to AR, often requiring exogenous auxin, adding cost to clonal garden operations. In contrast, E. grandis is an easy-to-root species widely used in clonal forestry. Aiming at contributing to the elucidation of recalcitrance causes in E. globulus, we conducted a comparative analysis with these two species differing in rooting competence, combining gene expression and anatomical techniques. Recalcitrance in E. globulus is reversed by exposure to exogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which promotes important gene expression modifications in both species. The endogenous content of IAA was significantly higher in E. grandis than in E. globulus. The cambium zone was identified as an active area during AR, concentrating the first cell divisions. Immunolocalization assay showed auxin accumulation in cambium cells, further indicating the importance of this region for rooting. We then performed a cambium zone-specific gene expression analysis during AR using laser microdissection. The results indicated that the auxin-related genes TOPLESS and IAA12/BODENLOS and the cytokinin-related gene ARR1may act as negative regulators of AR, possibly contributing to the hard-to-root phenotype of E. globulus.
