Genomic resources for crop wild relatives are critical for perennial fruit breeding and conservation

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Many perennial fruit crops are clonally propagated, resulting in uniform fruit quality but increasing vulnerability to pests, diseases, and climate change. In contrast, closely related crop wild relatives (CWRs) continue to evolve in response to these pressures and are a valuable source of adaptive traits.

Combined genetic and genomic approaches to characterize a durable Hevea resistance to South American leaf blight : S01T07 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The South American Leaf Blight (SALB), due to the Ascomycota Microcyclus ulei, threatens the world production of natural rubber, based on the cultivation of nearly only one species: the tropical tree Hevea brasiliensis.

Beneficial Effects of Phosphite in Arabidopsis thaliana Mediated by Activation of ABA, SA, and JA Biosynthesis and Signaling Pathways

open access: yesPlants
Phosphite (Phi) has gained attention in agriculture due to its biostimulant effect on crops. This molecule has been found to benefit plant performance by providing protection against pathogens, improving yield and fruit quality as well as nutrient and ...

Citrus breeding for biotic and abiotic stress tolerances; new tools and strategies for biodiversity Mobilization : S04T01 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Citrus industry is affected worldwide by several fungal, bacterial and viral diseases. Some production areas also suffer of strong abiotic constraints such as water deficit, salt stress and iron chlorosis. Resistance or tolerance traits for most of these

Floral shape and color impact heat accumulation and thermal stability of the floral microenvironment in a subalpine meadow

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The floral thermal microenvironment impacts plant reproduction through its effects on gametophyte performance and plant–pollinator interactions. Color and shape are axes of floral variation that may mediate floral temperature because they affect the absorption and reflection of solar radiation, but their interactive effects are unclear.

Plastomic studies inform the mechanisms of edaphic adaptation in North American species in the tribe Thelypodieae (Brassicaceae)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Adaptation to edaphic environments is vital for plant survival. The tribe Thelypodieae (Brassicaceae) thrives in diverse edaphic conditions, including harsh serpentine soils. A robust phylogeny is essential to understanding the edaphic evolution in this tribe but is challenging to obtain due to incomplete lineage sorting, hybridization,

Enhanced phenylpropanoid metabolism underlies resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum race 4 infection in the cotton cultivar Pima-S6 (Gossypium barbadense L.)

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
Introduction:Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV) race 4 (FOV4) is a highly pathogenic soil-borne fungus responsible for Fusarium wilt in cotton (Gossypium spp.) and represents a continuing threat to cotton production in the southwest states of ...

Biodegradable Polyesteramide Films for Pervaporative Dehydration of Isopropanol–Water

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyesteramides are biodegradable polymers possessing good mechanical properties with potential applicability in membrane separations. In this work, polymer films from ε‐caprolactam and ε‐caprolactone‐based polyesteramides were prepared at a ratio of monomer units set so that the resulting copolymer had a low crystalline phase content.
