EVOLUTION OF DIVERSITY OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES CROPS [PDF]

open access: yesActa Horticulturae, 2015
We will answer only to a part of the session title (Horticulture and biodiversity: contribution to its loss, conservation or increase?) which includes the impact of the cultivars and cultivation methods on the biodiversity. Our presentation will focus on the diversity of fruits and vegetables crops in Europe at the species, cultigroup and cultivar ...

Status and prospects of plant genetic resource conservation in Yemen

open access: yesGenetic Resources, 2023
This study provides a comprehensive examination of the conservation status of plant genetic resources in Yemen, with a particular focus on the national genebank, natural sites and field genebanks.

Genebanks and market participation: evidence from groundnut farmers in Malawi

open access: yesCABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2022
Background Genebanks contribute to poverty reduction as well as food and nutritional security by being one of the main sources of diversity for the development of improved crop varieties. While the welfare implications of adopting improved varieties have

Cross-species optimization of nuclei isolation in ten plant species

open access: yesPlant Methods
Single-cell technologies are transforming plant biology, yet broadly transferable nuclei isolation remains a key bottleneck for snRNA-seq. We developed a reproducible, cost-efficient Percoll-based workflow that is applicable to multiple maize tissues and

Increased experimental conditions and marker densities identified more genetic loci associated with southern and northern leaf blight resistance in maize

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Southern leaf blight (SLB) and northern leaf blight (NLB) are the two major foliar diseases limiting maize production worldwide. Upon previous study with the nested association mapping (NAM) population, which consist of 5,000 recombinant inbred lines ...

Potential, attainable, and current levels of global crop diversity

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
High levels of crop species diversity are considered beneficial. However, increasing diversity might be difficult because of environmental constraints and the reliance on a few major crops for most food supply.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Prokaryotic diversity in continuous cropping and rotational cropping soybean soil [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2009
In spite of the techniques based on the amplification of 16S rRNA genes (16S rDNA) to compare bacterial communities that are now widely in use in microbial ecology, little is known about the composition of the soybean continuous cropping (CC) and rotational cropping (RC) soil microbial community.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Can the Right Composition and Diversity of Farmed Species Improve Food Security Among Smallholder Farmers?

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
Food security and livelihoods among smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are often constrained by limited farm resource endowment. It can be difficult to improve resource endowment given barriers such as low land availability and the unaffordability
