Green Sea Turtle

La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.

Hyaloperonospora berteroae es un oomiceto causante de mildiu velloso, específico de su huésped y perteneciente a la familia Peronosporaceae, que parasita especies de Berteroa, plantas pequeñas con flores blancas de la familia de las mostazas (Brassicaceae). Forma esporangióforos incoloros que emergen de los estomas para producir esporas, causando manchas pálidas en las hojas infectadas. Como otros patógenos de mildiu velloso, es un biótrofo obligado que no puede sobrevivir sin un huésped vivo.
