Genomic architecture and breeding trade‐offs of coconut drought tolerance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The coconut palm is an extremely popular and economically important crop, with around 65 million tonnes produced in 2023. Although Africa's coconut sector is growing rapidly, it—and the livelihoods that depend on it—is threatened by climate change, particularly increased drought.

Snake Gut Microbiota as a Source of Anti‐Inflammatory Probiotics: Isolation and Functional Characterization of Two Novel Strains

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study assessed the probiotic potential of intestinal microbiomes from five snake species using metagenomics and in vitro isolation, identifying two promising strains (Lactobacillus johnsonii DA0116 and Limosilactobacillus reuteri DA0218) through comprehensive screening.

Microbiome and Pathobiome Characterization in Farmed Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) During and Post Scale Drop Disease Outbreaks

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale double‐digest RAD sequencing (ddRADseq) datasets generated for genotyping are increasingly available in aquaculture, yet their unmapped reads remain largely unexplored for pathogen surveillance. Here, we evaluated the utility and limitations of repurposing unmapped ddRADseq reads to examine pathogen‐associated and disease ...

Patent landscape analysis of inventions based on plant genetic resources for food and agriculture and related digital sequence information

The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.
Abstract This article provides an overview of the patent landscape in relation to PGRFA‐based inventions involving naturally occurring (“native”) traits and related Digital Sequence Information/Genetic Sequence Data (DSI/GSD). In particular, it focuses on the potential of patent claims to limit others' uses of PGRFA and related DSI/GSD on which the ...

High‐Contiguity Haplotype‐Resolved Genome Assembly of the Hexaploid Actinidia valvata Rootstock Sheds Light on Waterlogging Resistance Gene

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyploidisation, creating redundant or diverged copies of the genome, is a major driving force in plant evolution, diversification and environmental adaptation, including for the kiwifruit genus (Actinidia Lindl.). We present a high‐contiguity, haplotype‐resolved genome assembly of the hexaploid Actinidia valvata rootstock cultivar ...

Quality management in a genebank environment: Principles and experiences at the Centre for Genetic Resources, The Netherlands (CGN)

Genetic Resources
To enhance the management of plant genetic resources by genebanks, implementing a quality management system is essential. Such a system ensures the consistent quality of genebank operations through the establishment of a quality policy, the integration ...

Mapping of Fire Blight Resistance QTL in the European Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Cultivar ‘Petersbirne’

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breeding of pear (Pyrus communis) cultivars that meet market requirements and are at the same time resistant to fire blight is a challenging task beacuse appropriate resistance donors are scarce. To identify valuable resistance sources, phenotypic screening and genetic characterization are indispensable.

Mobilization, conservation and study of cultivated and wild potato genetic resources

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
Nowadays, the world’s largest Potato Genebanks, including VIR Potato Genebank, hold about 98 thousand accessions of potato and its wild relatives. This gene pool, which has been accumulated for almost a century, represents a huge genetic diversity of ...

Phenotypic Differentiation Between Highland and Coastal Quinoa Under Cold Stress Conditions

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a genetically diverse Andean crop valued for its nutrition and adaptability to varied agro‐climatic conditions with potential for cultivation in European and Mediterranean, particularly on marginal lands. Low temperatures during early sowing can impair germination, while delayed sowing increases the risk ...
