Comparative Genomics Reveals Sources of Genetic Variability in the Asexual Fungal Plant Pathogen Colletotrichum lupini. [PDF]
Comparative genomics of the lupin pathogen Colletotrichum lupini reveals low SNP diversity but highlights a dynamic accessory genome, including a variable accessory chromosome and diverse transposable element landscape. ABSTRACT Fungal plant pathogens cause major crop losses worldwide, with many featuring compartmentalised genomes that include both ...

Nutritious corn extrudates enriched with Andean Lupin and pecan nut: Physicochemical, textural, nutraceutical and sensory properties. [PDF]
The study aimed to produce nutritious and functional gluten-free corn-based extrudates by incorporating whole Andean lupin flour (WLF) and ground pecan nut (GPN). A D-optimal mixture design assessed the effects of WLF, GPN, moisture levels (13%, 15%, and

Protozoan and Helminth Contamination in Ecuadorian Agricultural Products: Dominance of <i>Blastocystis</i> sp. [PDF]
Foodborne 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]
Summary 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.

Categorization of Food Consumption Patterns in Indigenous Communities of the Quilotoa in Ecuador. [PDF]
Four 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.
