Growth parameters of backcross-derived Elaeis oleifera (Kunth) Cortés from Taisha - Ecuador and their potential for plant breeding in oil palm

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2022
The palm Elaeis oleifera from Taisha was first described in 1986, but remains a valuable genetic resource to be evaluated, as it may be important for obtaining high-yielding hybrid genotypes and good-quality oil.

Fine‐scale temporal dynamics of flower visitors sheds light on insect‐assemblage overlap between sexes in a dioecious Ecuadorian palm

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 256-267, January 2023., 2023
We characterized the composition and the temporal variations of the arthropods community visiting female and male inflorescences of the palm Phytelephas aequatorialis. We report 59 morphospecies dominated by three beetle families: Staphylinidae, Nitidulidae, and Curculionidae and 16 pollinator candidates among which nine visited both inflorescence ...

Synthesis of Green Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Using Plant Waste from Colocasia esculenta for Seed Germination of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata)

open access: yesJournal of Nanotechnology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Synthesis of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles (NPs) via biological approach has received a lot of interest to reduce the harmful effects of chemical synthesis. In the present study, Colocasia esculenta leaf extract facilitated the preparation of CeO2‐NPs by using the sol‐gel technique.

Food tree species selection for nutrition‐sensitive forest landscape restoration in Burkina Faso

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 667-684, November 2022., 2022
Modern food systems push agriculture to focus on a small number of commercial crops, while there is a very large diversity of untapped edible plants that could be used to address food security and nutrition. Poor and monotonous diets are closely linked to the complex burden of multiple forms of malnutrition and dietary risk.

Pest categorisation of Aonidiella orientalis

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Aonidiella orientalis (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), the oriental scale, for the EU. A. orientalis is a species mostly occurring in tropical and subtropical areas. It is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.

Basal stem rot of oil palm revisited

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 181, Issue 2, Page 160-181, September 2022., 2022
Frond collapse in Oil Palm caused by stem rot Abstract Basal stem rot caused by Ganoderma boninense is the single major disease to affect oil palms in South Asia and Oceania. Although first described in commercial plantations some 90 years ago it remains a major constraint to oil palm planting, with disease occurence increasing with succesive plantings.

Can omic tools help generate alternative newer sources of edible seed oil?

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Abstract There are three pathways for triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis: De novo TAG biosynthesis, phosphatidylcholine‐derived biosynthesis, and cytosolic TAG biosynthesis. Variability in fatty acid composition is mainly associated with phosphatidylcholine‐derived TAG pathway. Mobilization of TAG‐formed through cytosolic pathway into lipid droplets is
