Genes involved in carotene synthesis and mating in Blakeslea trispora [PDF]
Mating of Blakeslea trispora and other molds of the order Mucorales requires the interaction of mycelia of opposite sex, (+) and (-), leading to the development of specialized structures and to an enhanced accumulation of beta-carotene.

The nuclear‐encoded chloroplast ferredoxin NADP+ oxidoreductase gene (NbFNR) could assist bamboo mosaic virus accumulation efficiently when expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves but not the mutants with failure in translocating to the chloroplast (NbFNR/ΔTP) and with a catalytic site mutation (NbFNR/mut). Abstract A gene down‐regulated in Nicotiana

Comparative genomic analyses of South African yellow rust isolates from 1996 to 2017 reveals polymorphic effector candidates linked to changes in virulence, and a close genetic relationship to isolates found in East Africa and the UK. Abstract Wheat stripe rust, caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp.

Potential of genomics for the improvement of underutilized legumes in sub‐Saharan Africa
Abstract Underutilized, or orphan legumes, are widely distributed across farming landscapes in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) but often have low yields and do not fulfill their potential due to very limited research, breeding, development, marketing, and awareness of their benefits. These advantages include nutritional quality and climate resilience. In this

Molecular phenotyping of the pal1 and pal2 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana reveals far-reaching consequences on phenylpropanoid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism [PDF]
The first enzyme of the phenylpropanoid pathway, Phe ammonia-lyase (PAL), is encoded by four genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. Whereas PAL function is well established in various plants, an insight into the functional significance of individual gene family ...

Genomics‐assisted lentil breeding: Current status and future strategies
Abstract Genomics‐assisted breeding has become a powerful tool to develop high‐yielding climate‐resilient varieties for adaptation to adverse environmental conditions such as heat and drought stresses. Previously, efforts have been made to develop genomic resources in lentil, leading to the development of many trait‐specific mapping populations, cores ...
