Protozoan and Helminth Contamination in Ecuadorian Agricultural Products: Dominance of <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. [PDF]
J Parasitol ResFoodborne diseases, particularly those caused by parasitic infections, pose significant public health challenges globally, particularly affecting vulnerable populations such as children. In this study, we investigated the parasitic contamination in 773 samples of fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens from Ecuador’s Chimborazo Province. Utilizing a cross‐

The aerial epidermis is a major site of quinolizidine alkaloid biosynthesis in narrow-leafed lupin. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Lupins are promising protein crops that accumulate toxic quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs) in the seeds, complicating their end‐use. QAs are synthesized in green organs (leaves, stems, and pods) and a subset of them is transported to the seeds during fruit development.

Chemical Composition, Tocopherol and Carotenoid Content of Seeds from Different Andean Lupin (Lupinus mutabilis) Ecotypes [PDF]
Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 2021 Andean lupin (Lupinus mutabilis) seeds are appreciated for their high protein and lipid contents and have potential applications as ingredients in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Nevertheless, the information about the seed composition (especially in lipophilic antioxidants) of ecotypes from distinct cropping areas is currently limited ...

Analysis of lncRNAs in Lupinus mutabilis (Tarwi) and Their Potential Role in Drought Response
Non-Coding RNA, 2023 Lupinus mutabilis is a legume with high agronomic potential and available transcriptomic data for which lncRNAs have not been studied. Therefore, our objective was to identify, characterize, and validate the drought-responsive lncRNAs in L. mutabilis. To

Categorization of Food Consumption Patterns in Indigenous Communities of the Quilotoa in Ecuador. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrFour consumption pattern types were defined. The category “high consumption” includes carbohydrates such as rice (89.3%), potatoes (88.9%), oats (74.1%), and morocho (74%). Protein intake was limited to eggs (82%) and fish (73.5%). Vegetables such as carrots (90.4%) and onions (96.1%) were classified as condiments.

Plants, 2020 Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum lupini, is a major limiting factor for lupin production. Tarwi or Andean Lupin (Lupinus mutabilis) is generally regarded as susceptible to anthracnose, but the high protein and oil content of its seeds raise interest

Influence of plant growth stage on resistance to anthracnose in Andean lupin (Lupinus mutabilis) [PDF]
Crop & Pasture Science, 2015 Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum acutatum, is the most destructive fungal disease of Andean lupin (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) in Ecuador and of other lupin species around the world. Symptoms of necrotic spots occur throughout the main stem, and infection progresses to cause bending of the main stem and lateral branches, resulting in yield loss ...

Phenotypic, Molecular, and Pathological Characterization of Colletotrichum acutatum Associated with Andean Lupine and Tamarillo in the Ecuadorian Andes [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2013 Anthracnose is a serious problem of both Andean lupine and tamarillo in Ecuador. Morphological features, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, and host specificity were used to characterize Colletotrichum isolates from lupine and tamarillo. Based on phenotypic and molecular characterization, the causal agent of anthracnose on both hosts was ...

Genetic variability in the physiological responses of Andean lupin to drought stress
Suomen Maataloustieteellisen Seuran Tiedote, 2010 Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses that causes significant reductions in crop yield, and thushinders the food security of the growing world population. In consequence, it is urgent to select crops able toresist drought, maintain high yield and have a good nutritive content.
