Figure 2. Nymphal and adult salivary profiles of four different T. infestans strains.

Figure 2

(A) Saliva of starved nymphs (fifth instar) and adults (pooled saliva of females and males) of four different T. infestans strains from Argentina (Arg), Bolivia (Bol), Chile (Chil) and Peru (Per) were analyzed by SDS PAGE. Arrows mark the protein band of 35 kDa that is common for all T. infestans strains. (B) An unrooted phenogram was constructed from the electrophoretic salivary profiles of nymphs (N) and adults (A) of the different T. infestans strains using the UPGMA method of the FreeTree software [50]. Bootstrap values are displayed at the tree nodes and the scale bar represents the Dice's similarity coefficient.
