Received 25 February, 2014; Acceppted 9 June, 2014 Due to premature defoliation, early blight epidemics can cause major yield losses. Large-spore Alternaria species such as A. solani and A. tomatophila have long been recognized as important pathogens responsible for such blight disease in the famiily Solanaceeae and thus represent a serious risk for crop production. Small-spore Alternaria species have also been frequently isolated from plant samples with typical blight symptoms but their incidence as primary pathogens is often controversial. In order to study the diversity of small-spore Alternaria species, 32 isolates were selected from a larger collection of 130 isolates from infected leaves, fruits and sttems of tomato from various growing regions of North-West Algeria. Morphological characterization under standard conditions annd polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses using specific primers to amplify a part of the ITS regions and the 5.8S gene were conducted to confirm their identification as members of the altternata section.

  • Introduction Chapter 2 — Windows Software
    UltraSound owners have a variety of sound needs. This is a guide to help you find the best way to use your new UltraSound for your own applications. Using your UltraSound with many games is as simple as selecting UltraSound from the list of sound cards in the game’s setup. You’ll hear extraordinary wavetable sound as soon as you begin the game. To use UltraSound with games that do not yet support the card directly, you may need some help getting started. UltraSound works with programs written for General MIDI, Sound Blaster, Ad Lib, Roland MT-32, and Roland SCC1. Read Chapter 6, “Game Sound Support,” for an explanation of the sound options available with UltraSound. Explore the file playing, recording, and mixing features of your UltraSound right away using the simple sound applets that come with Windows version 3.1 or later. Use Media Player to play sound files with your UltraSound. Or hook up a microphone and use Sound Recorder to record, mix, and play your own sounds. See the Windows manual or Sound Recorder’s on-line help for instructions. Open the UltraSound Mixer to enable inputs and outputs, set playback volume, and control CD and Microphone inputs. The settings you choose from the Mixer applet are only valid for the current Windows session until you save them. Once you have had a chance to explore your UltraSound’s features with these simple applications, try the great bonus software included in your UltraSound package. Advanced Gravis has included a number of terrific software applications for recording, playing, mixing, and composing sounds and music with your new UltraSound.
