Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Chloroplast Genome of Carissa spinarum L. (Rauvolfioideae, Apocynaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study, we present the first de novo assembled chloroplast genome of Carissa spinarum L. and provide detailed insights into its genomic features. This is the second genome we are characterizing from the genus Carissa L. as before the article on Carissa macrocarpa exists. Furthermore, we reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of C. spinarum

Pest categorisation of Coccus viridis

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.
