Butterfly Diversity in a Sacred Kaya Forest in Southern Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study we analysed the butterfly communities in a tropical coastal forest patch and the surrounding anthropogenic ecosystems. Although both abundance and species richness were lowest inside the natural forest, vulnerable forest specialists were restricted to the forest interior and absent from all anthropogenic landscapes.

Biodegradable Coatings with Essential Oils for Combating Papaya Anthracnose: State of the Art and Perspectives

Food Bioengineering, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 138-151, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Papaya (Carica papaya L.) production and marketability are strongly constrained by postharvest diseases, with anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. representing the most significant threat. Traditional control relies on synthetic fungicides, which, although effective, face challenges such as the development of pathogen resistance ...

Gamma ray induced genetic improvement of sorghum landraces for grain yield and charcoal rot tolerance

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018
Sorghum is an important cereal crop used for food, livestock feed and biofuel. In order to improve rabi sorghum (post-rainy season), which are mainly used for human consumption, physical and chemical mutagens are used to create genetic variability for ...

Using genomic selection to examine subgenome dominance and epistasis in allopolyploid strawberry

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Allopolyploids are organisms that possess multiple sets of chromosomes derived from distinct ancestral species, resulting in multiple subgenomes. Many important crops are allopolyploid, including wheat (Triticum aestivum), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), coffee (Coffea arabica), and strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa).

Tolerance of NS-sunflower genotypes to charcoal rot

, 2022
The most limiting factors in sunflowers production are weather conditions and plant diseases. Charcoal rot of sunflower is disease caused by soil-borne fungus Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. that gains importance in temperate regions. Control of charcoal rot is complicated due to pathogens long persistence in form of microsclerotia in the soil ...

Reaction of QPM inbred lines against Maydish Leaf Blight (MLB) and Charcol Rot [PDF]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2013
Seventeen newly developed QPM inbred lines were screened against Maydish Leaf Blight and Charcol rot at two locations. Inbreds DQL 2015 and DQL 2071 were found as resistant for MLB and moderately resistant to charcoal rot. These lines can also be used in

Resistance response of cowpea accessions to charcoal rot

Revista Caatinga
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to assess the resistance reaction of cowpea accessions grown in municipalities of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, to the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. A total of 53 cowpea accessions were evaluated in two greenhouse experiments (25 and 28 accessions, respectively), using a completely randomized ...
