SolRgene: an online database to explore disease resistance genes in tuber-bearing Solanum species [PDF]

, 2011
Background The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food crop, but highly susceptible to many pathogens. The major threat to potato production is the Irish famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late ...

Trans Situ Conservation of Crop Wild Relatives [PDF]

Crop Science, 2019
ABSTRACTIn the face of unprecedented climatic disasters, social conflict, and political uncertainty, integrating in situ and ex situ strategies may become increasingly necessary to effectively conserve crop wild relatives (CWR). We introduce the concept of trans situ conservation to safeguard CWR genetic diversity and accessibility for crop improvement.

Mixed effects of honey bees on pollination function in the Tibetan alpine grasslands

Nature Communications
The global expansion of domesticated plant and animal species has profoundly impacted biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, the spillover effect of non-native honey bees from mass-flowering crops into adjacent natural vegetation on pollination ...

From bits to bites: Advancement of the Germinate platform to support prebreeding informatics for crop wild relatives

Crop science, 2020
Management and distribution of experimental data from prebreeding projects is important to ensure uptake of germplasm into breeding and research programs. Being able to access and share this data in standard formats is essential.

BrrTCP4b interacts with BrrTTG1 to suppress the development of trichomes in Brassica rapa var. rapa

Plant Diversity
The number of trichomes significantly increased in CRISPR/Cas9-edited BrrTCP4b turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) plants. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be uncovered.

In situ and ex situ conservation gap analyses of crop wild relatives from Malawi

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2020
The study analysed the conservation gaps of the priority crop wild relatives (CWR) taxa for Malawi in order to contribute to the development of a harmonized conservation strategy that helps secure the priority CWR under in situ and ex situ.

Response to wheat dwarf virus in wild and domesticated wheat [PDF]

, 2016
Wild and domesticated plants are constantly exposed to a variety of pathogens, which may trigger an arms race in evolution of defense strategies in the plant and development of virulence in the pathogen.
