Characterization and Antifungal Activity of a Hevein-Like Peptide-Containing Extract From <i>Capsicum annuum</i> Leaves Against Phytopathogenic Fungi. [PDF]
Int J MicrobiolThis study is aimed at isolating and characterizing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from the leaves of Capsicum annuum (L.) cv. Carioquinha and investigating their antifungal activity and mechanism of action against phytopathogenic fungi. An initial extract was obtained from leaves through hydromethanolic extraction followed by partitioning with ...

Revealing the differential protein profiles behind the nitrogen use efficiency in popcorn (Zea mays var. everta) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 We investigated the proteomic profiles of two popcorn inbred lines, P2 (N-efficient and N-responsive) and L80 (N-inefficient and nonresponsive to N), under low (10% of N supply) and high (100% of N supply) nitrogen environments, associated with agronomic-

Predictive evolutionary genomics: principles, validation, and practice. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Climate change and habitat loss are driving rapid evolutionary responses in populations world‐wide, which creates an urgent need for evolutionary forecasting in conservation and agriculture. Such forecasting can be categorized into three time scales: trait‐based models that use multivariate quantitative genetic equations to project correlated ...
