ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Chromosome instability in 'Carrizo' citrange + Citrus macrophylla somatic hybrids [PDF]
Somatic hybridization by protoplast fusion is a very useful technique for citrus rootstock breeding. Indeed, it theoretically allows the accumulation of all genes of the parents, irrespective of their heterozygosity level and therefore the addition of ...

ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe
Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...

ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

A New Species of Arthropteris From Samoa
A new species, Arthropteris samoensis (Arthropteridaceae), recorded from the Samoan islands of Upolu and Savai‘i, is described and illustrated. In Samoa, the new species is distinguished from Arthropteris palisotii s.l. by its smaller stature and more delicate texture (laminae mostly < 3 cm wide vs.
