“Chispismo” y comunismo: crónica de una disidencia en la izquierda argentina de los años ‘20

The appearance of a newspaper like La Chispa, in February 1926, can be read as an expression of the first crisis in the history of the still young Argentinean Communist Party (CPA). A growing tension caused by tactical and strategic disagreements, and also about how to conceive a political action and the construction of a power oriented into a revolution sense, were elements that were present from the very origins of Argentinean communism (even when it has not yet adopted this name and instead it called itself International Socialist Party), that will finally burst in the mid-'20s. Without wishing to be isolated from the growing revolutionary network that was weaving all over the world having as a center Moscow, La Chispa, and through it, the Communist Workers Party, tried to build a different and alternative communist movement to that other that incarnated the original version around the leadership of Jose Fernando Penelon, surrounded by two leaders in rapid ascent: Victorio Codovilla y Rodolfo Ghioldi.

Processing tomato selection for corky root resistance in Italian environment

The study reports the results of a breeding program to transfer resistance to Pyrenochaeta lycopersici to new processing tomato lines. This program involved the Californian variety 'UC 82', as recurrent parent susceptibleto the fungal pathogen, and the fresh market tomato cultivars Victorio, Nikita and Rezano, as donors of partial resistance, repeatedly observed in these varieties under field conditions in southern Italy. The materials were selected with three self-fertilisation cycles following three backcrosses, on the basis of greenhouse fungal partial resistance in early growth stages and field evaluation of agronomic and quality features. The greenhouse selection examined i) taproot discoloration; ii) plant growth on infected soil as compared to control; iii) production of adventitious roots following taproot discoloration; iv) presence/absence of necrosis on adventitious roots. At the end of the breeding program, five selected lines had a significantly higher growth performance than 'UC 82' on standard and highly infected soil. The resistance of improved lines was due to several traits; high adventitious root production following taproot discoloration and improved root tissue resistance to discoloration were the most evident.
