Resistance Screening and Targeted Metabolomics Identify Potential Biomarkers for Resistance in African Eggplant Against Fusarium elaeidis Wilt

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium elaeidis (Foe) threatens the African eggplant (AEP), so the development of resistant genotypes is needed. The study aimed to identify genotypes resistant to Foe and analyze the changes in phenylpropanoid metabolites and phytohormones that underlie the resistance.

Genetic diversity and adaptive evolutionary history of Sapindus in China: insights from whole‐genome resequencing of 100 representative individuals

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2485-2500, July 2025.
Summary Sapindus is an important forest tree genus with utility in biodiesel, biomedicine, biochemistry and forestry. Similar to many perennial crop plants, its breeding is hampered by long generation times and lack of genetic resources. To understand the genome evolution underlying the important bioeconomic traits, we carried out a common garden ...
