Contrastant banana accessions for resistance to the burrowing nematode, based on molecular markers RAPD [PDF]
This work aimed to proceed molecular characterization of seven banana accessions (Borneo, Grand Naine, 1304-06, 4249-05, 0337-02, 0323-03 and 4279-06) resistance to the nematode Radopholus similis. These accessions were selected taking in account the reproduction factor (RF) among 26 banana genotypes from a working collection belonging to Embrapa ...

Legged Locomotion in Lattices: Centipede Traversal of Obstacle‐Rich Environments
We investigated how centipedes adapted their limb stepping and body bending patterns in a dense array of rigid obstacles (vertical posts). Centipedes maintained a rapid speed in the obstacle array by adapting their gaits in several ways, including adducing their limbs along their bodies to mitigate collisions, twisting their bodies into more favorable ...

The Resilience Status of the Sesame Plant Against Weeds and Insects
Sesame is overrated as a resilient crop due to its ability to withstand unfavourable conditions either through replacement of damaged tissues or by its profuse seed production. This article offers an examination of weed as a stressor of neglected field‐grown sesame.

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Uganda
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the likelihood of pest freedom at entry in the EU, including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, potentially associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Uganda.
