Molecular Mechanisms of Dual Potato Reproduction. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Changing environmental conditions caused by global warming threaten potato cultivation due to its sensitivity to both heat and drought. Unfortunately, classic potato breeding is slow to generate varieties that, whereas maintaining good yields, are resistant to unfavourable climatic conditions.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of Solanum brevicaule (PI 473011) Y1-5, a wild potato relative with robust resistance to potato cyst nematodes. [PDF]
Abstract Potato cyst nematodes (PCNs), Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida, are globally recognized quarantine pests that can cause severe yield losses in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) if left uncontrolled. Deploying host resistance remains the most effective, economical, and environmentally sustainable strategy for PCN control.

GERMIN3 regulates tuber initiation and axillary bud activation by facilitating plasmodesmatal gating. [PDF]
Significance Statement We present evidence that GERMIN3 lies downstream of the tuberigen activation complex (and possibly the florigen activation complex) to regulate plasmodesmatal (PD) gating to facilitate the flux of sucrose to meristems leading to meristem activity and downstream developmental processes.

Bird-window collisions: A comprehensive dataset for the Neotropical region. [PDF]
Abstract Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms.

The potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida overcomes major potato resistance through selection on standing variation at a single locus. [PDF]
Summary Globodera pallida poses a major threat to potato production, with management strategies primarily relying on genetic resistance. However, increasing virulence in field populations across Western Europe raises major concerns for G. pallida control.

StCDF1: A 'jack of all trades' clock output with a central role in regulating potato nitrate reduction activity. [PDF]
Summary Transcription factors of the CYCLING DOF FACTOR (CDF) family activate in potato the SP6A FT tuberization signal in leaves. In modern cultivars, truncated StCDF1.2 alleles override strict SD control by stabilizing the StCDF1 protein, which leads to StCOL1 suppression and impaired activation of the antagonic SP5G paralog. By using DAP‐seq and RNA‐

Abstract Tropical montane bird communities are hypothesized to be highly sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance because species are adapted to a narrow range of environmental conditions and display high rates of endemism. We assessed avian sensitivity at regional and continental scales for a global epicenter of montane bird biodiversity, the tropical ...
