ABSTRACT - Bacterial wilt caused by the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating disease of potato crops. Harmonizing immunity to pathogens and crop yield is a balance between productive, economic, and environmental interests. In this work, the agronomic performance of two events of potato cultivar INIA Iporá expressing the Arabidopsis thaliana EFR gene (Iporá EFR 3 and Iporá EFR 12) previously selected for their high resistance to bacterial wilt was evaluated under pathogen-free conditions.

ABSTRACT.- Grasslands are endangered habitats through the world. Among its threats, land-use change has been recognized as one of the most important drivers of biodiversity decline. Sustainable livestock farming can be important conserving grasslands and preserving their biodiversity, and particularly in Uruguay are extensive and are carried out based on natural grasslands with little external management. However, in recent years there has been an increasing in land-use change, replacing natural grasslands with cultivated pastures, leading to a homogenization of the environments.

ABSTRACT.- Nitro-fatty acids (NO2-FAs) are being formed in virgin olive oil (VOO), exhibiting pleiotropic anti-inflammatory responses. We analyzed the fatty acid profile, polyphenols, pigments, and NO2-FA levels in two contrasting olive cultivars, Arbequina and Coratina, under two ripening conditions. During in vitro gastric conditions, the extent of nitro-conjugated linoleic acid and nitro-oleic acid in Coratina VOO was higher at the intermediate stage. In contrast, Arbequina VOO did not present changes on NO2-FA formation.
