An AFLP marker linked to the Pm-1 gene that confers resistance to Podosphaera xanthii race 1 in Cucumis melo [PDF]

, 2008
Brazil produced 330,000 metric tons of melons in 2005, principally in the Northeast region where one of the most important melon pathogens is the powdery mildew fungus Podosphaera xanthii. The disease is controlled mainly by incorporating single dominant

Expelled by the Antarctic ice: Evolutionary history of the tribe Cunonieae (Cunoniaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1441-1457, November 2025.
Fossil calibration reveals recent radiations and biogeographical history of the Cunonieae tribe. The most densely sampled phylogeny indicated Antarctica and Patagonia as areas of origin, confirming the reestablishment of Pterophylla and revealing the northward movement of Weinmannia into the tropical Andes.

Inhibition of rhizobial cheaters by the host Medicago truncatula involves repression of symbiotic functions and induction of defense

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1458-1474, November 2025.
Summary In symbiotic plant–microbe interactions, the host invests considerable amounts of resources in the microbial partner. If the microbe does not reciprocate with a comparable symbiotic benefit, it is regarded as a cheater. The host responds to cheaters with negative feedback mechanisms (sanctions) to prevent fitness deficits resulting from being ...

INDEPENDENT ORIGINATION OF FLORAL ZYGOMORPHY, A PREDICTED ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO POLLINATORS: DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC MECHANISMS [PDF]

, 2016
Observations of floral development indicate that floral organ initiation in pentapetalous flowers more commonly results in a medially positioned abaxial petal (MAB) than in a medially positioned adaxial petal (MAD), where the medial plane is defined by ...

Antidiabetic effect of Coccinia grandis (L.) Voigt (Cucurbitales: Cucurbitaceae) on streptozotocin induced diabetic rats and its role in regulating carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2018
Coccinia grandis (L.) Voigt (Cucurbitales: Cucurbitaceae) is a climbing perennial herb, growing throughout India and it is widely used in the traditional treatment of diabetes. The aim of present study was to evaluate the antidiabetic potential of the mature unripe of Coccinia grandis in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats with special reference

Characterization and application of highly effective rhizobia isolated from Medicago ruthenica in alpine grassland

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 235-248, September 2025.
The biomass accumulation of M. ruthenica was significantly improved by enhancing its nitrogen fixation ability. Through response surface methodology, the optimal culture and nutritional conditions were successfully determined. Furthermore, field experiments demonstrated promising application effects in alpine grasslands, highlighting its potential for ...

A Group 6 LEA Protein Plays Key Roles in Tolerance to Water Deficit, and in Maintaining the Glassy State and Longevity of Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 9, Page 6874-6896, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Plants have a wide range of adaptive and protective mechanisms to cope with dehydration. Central in these processes are the Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, whose levels notably increase in response to dehydration during seed development and vegetative tissues.
