Pl2 resistance gene differentiates the pathogenicity in four "Plasmopara halstedii" (sunflower downy mildew) races 304, 704, 314 and 714

In order to clarify the role of Pl2 resistance gene in differentiation the pathogenicity in Plasmopara halstedii (sunflower downy mildew), analyses were carried out in four pathotypes: isolates of races 304 and 314 that do not overcome Pl2 gene, and isolates of races 704 and 714 that can overcome Pl2 gene. Based on the reaction for the P. halstedii isolates to sunflower hybrids varying only in Pl resistance genes, isolates of races 704 and 714 were more virulent than isolates of races 304 and 314. Index of aggressiveness was calculated for pathogen isolates and revealed the presence of significant differences between isolates of races 304 and 314 (more aggressive) and isolates of races 704 and 714 (less aggressive). There were morphological and genetic variations for the four P. halstedii isolates without a correlation with pathogenic diversity. The importance of the Pl2 resistance gene to differentiate the pathogenicity in sunflower downy mildew was discussed.

7. On the priority of "Genistion purgantis" Tüxen in Tüxen & Oberdorfer 1958 and "Senecioni-Genistetum purgantis" Tüxen & Oberdorfer 1958

In a recent review of which we were co-authors (Rivas-Martínez, Belmonte, Cantó, Fernández-González, Fuente, Moreno, Sánchez-Mata & Sancho, Lazaroa 7: 93-124. 1987), rejection of names Genistion purgantis Túxen in Túxen & Oberdorfer 1958 [Veróff. Geobot. Inst. Rúbel Zúrich 32: 228] and Senecio tournefortii-Genistapurgans Ass. Túxen & Oberdorfer 1958 [op. cit.: 229-230] versus Pino-Cytision purgantis Rivas-Martínez 1964 [Anales lnst. Bot. Cavanilles 22: 358] and Junipero nanae-Sarothamnetum purgantis Rivas-Martínez 1963 [Anales Inst. Bot. Cavanilles 21(1): 172-186] respectively, was proposed and adopted.

La crítica de Plotino a la concepción aristotélica del tiempo en "En". III 7

El presente trabajo intenta mostrar de qué manera Plotino refuta la noción aristotélica del tiempo como «número» o «medida del movimiento», cuáles son las aporías que plantea, cómo las compulsa con sus propios argumentos y qué soluciones propone con respecto a esa misma confrontación. Todo esto será encauzado a partir de un estudio descriptivo y analítico, acompañado de una lectura a la vez hermenéutica y crítica de los textos seleccionados para esta ocasión.
