Interspecific hybridization of potato: theoretical and applied aspects

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
The common potato Solanum tuberosum is the fourth most important crop in the world and like many other cultivated plants is characterized by low level of genetic diversity. The most effective approach to broaden genetic diversity of breeding varieties is

Climate requirements for cultivated Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) and consequences for its use and development as a crop species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global coffee industry, supporting 25 million smallholder farmers, is vulnerable to climate change. Diversifying the coffee species portfolio beyond Arabica and robusta is a promising intervention. Liberica coffee could provide adaptive capacity, although its climate parameters for cultivation are poorly known.

Interspecific potato hybrids as donors of durable resistance to pathogens

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
Interspecific hybridization is the primary method of potato breeding for resistance to pathogens. By introgressing genetic material from various species of the genus Solanum L.

Chemical diversity and phylogenetic insights into Hawaiian ʻākia (Wikstroemia) species used in traditional fishing practices

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...

Scope for Interspecific Hybridization of Chicken and Quail

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2005
Low fertility and hatchability rate is a hindrance in chicken-quail hybridization. An investigation was undertaken to increase fertility and consequently hatchability of quail eggs inseminated with chicken semen through increasing quantity of semen used

Conservation gap analysis for wild grapevines (Vitis L.) of the Americas

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wild grapevines (Vitis L.) native to the Americas are ecologically and culturally important plants that are also critical to the global cultivated grape industry as sources of traits for crop innovation, but many of these species are poorly documented and insufficiently conserved.

Multiple barriers maintain species boundaries in sympatric brood‐site deceptive Gastrodia orchids

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Gastrodia orchids are inconspicuous forest plants that lack chlorophyll and obtain carbon from fungi. Their dull‐colored, ground‐level flowers are often hidden among leaf litter, yet they rely on small flies for pollination.

Changes Over a 10‐Year Period in the Distribution Ranges and Genetic Hybridization of Three Pelophylax Pond Frogs in Central Japan

Ecology and Evolution
In this study, we focused on interspecial interactions in Central Japan where three closely related pond frog species, Pelophylax nigromaculatus, Pelophylax porosus porosus, and Pelophylax porosus brevipodus (two species and two subspecies) are ...

Seedling resistance and chemical defenses against Psylliodes chrysocephala: the roles of seed age and sinapinic acid in Sinapis alba and Brassica napus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...
