SUMMARY. Traditionally, plant breeding goals have focused on increasing yield, product firmness, shelf life and pest tolerance, combining ambient adaptation and agronomic management, without making focus on the sensory characteristics. The addition of sensory information into plant breeding programs provides breeders with unbiased tools to measure otherwise subjective quality traits. Combining consumer preferences with descriptive information about the sensory characteristics of products can contribute to the development of consumer-driven improvements in diverse agronomical commodities.

ABSTRACT. Sorghum leaves with concentric lesions, alternating purple to red and beige to cinnamon, were observed for the first time inJanuary 2017. The same symptoms were observed later in 29 % of sorghum cultivars in official Evaluación Nacional deCultivares INASE-INIA trials. The pathogen was identified as Microdochium sorghi (syn. Gloeocercospora sorghi) oncepathogenicity trials, morphological and molecular descriptions were done.

ABSTRACT. Income elasticities of demand were estimated for nine aggregate food categories for a sample of Hispanic consumers. In general, the demand for food appears to be relatively inelastic with respect to income, although the situation may be quite different when more disaggregated food categories are considered. Government subsidies received by households may also impact the demand for specific food groups.

Entomopathogenic fungi belonging to the genera Metarhizium and Beauveria are well known for their natural ability to infect and kill insects.

The Platform of Microbial Products for Agriculture at INIA Las Brujas has emphasized the role of microorganisms in the biocontrol of plant pests and diseases, and in nitrogen and phosphorus plant nutrition.

ABSTRACT. The objective of this study was the optimization and implementation of a reliable and economical molecular screening method for the detection of the mutant allele of CVM (complex vertebral malformation, c.559G>T, SLC35A3) by HRM analysis, as well as analyzing its existence in a representative sample of Holstein cows from the Milk Genomic DNA Bank of Uruguay. The optimization of the HRM methodology in the RotorGene?

La sarna común de la papa es una enfermedad de distribución mundial causada por bacterias del género Streptomyces. Se caracteriza por la presencia de lesiones necróticas con una textura corchosa en la superficie de los tubérculos que varían en severidad y apariencia dependiendo de la interacción entre la planta, las condiciones ambientales y el patógeno.
