Abstract BACKGROUND Fungus‐resistant PIWI (Pilzwiderstandsfähig) grape cultivars are promising for reducing pesticide inputs in viticulture, but their enological potential is still poorly characterized. We performed a pilot, single‐vintage study integrating berry gene expression and phenolic composition in five Italian red PIWI cultivars (Cabernet ...

The chromosome segregation in a created Musa interspecific tetraploid (AAAB) hybrid can lead to eBSV elimination. [P.51] [PDF]
Banana cultivars (including plantain) are derived from natural hybridization between wild diploid Musa species and subspecies. The main species involved are Musa acuminata (A genome) that is encountered in all banana cultivars, and M.

Sexual reproduction in invasive Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) in south Sweden
To understand the potential for northward expansion of knotweeds into currently uninvaded regions, it is crucial to assess the potential for sexual reproduction alongside the ongoing vegetative spread. For that reason, we tested viability in Reynoutria japonica seeds in south Sweden, a region where viable seeds had not been previously reported ...

Towards the elimination of infectious endogenous Banana streak virus sequences from Musa balbisiana [PDF]
Infectious endogenous sequences of several Banana streak virus species are present in the genome of Musa balbisiana spp, which are important progenitors for breeding improved banana varieties. Once activated by biotic or abiotic stresses, these sequences

Isoetes ×atruensis hyb. nov. is shown to be a triploid (2n = 3× = 33 + 1) sterile interspecific hybrid between diploid (2n = 2× = 22 + 1) I. coromandelina and tetraploid (2n = 4× = 44 + 1) I. rajasthanensis. It has been found in two locations in Rajasthan, India.

Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to evaluate genetic divergence among eight Coffea species and to identify the parentage of six interspecific hybrids. A total of 14 primers which contained different simple sequence repeats (SSR) were

Exploration of Limonium interspecific breeding possibility : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Interspecific crossability was investigated in the genus Limonium (Plumbaginaceae). Six Limonium species were chosen for this study, five of which are dimorphic and L.perigrinum which is monomorphic.

Physiological characterization of drought stress response and expression of two transcription factors and two LEA genes in three Prunus genotypes [PDF]
Global warming has led to a progressive decrease in rainfall, which is reflected by a reduction of water resources in the soil and a negative effect on crop production in Mediterranean areas.

Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.
