Eggplant and related species are promising genetic resources to dissect the plant immune response to Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and to identify new resistance determinants [PDF]

, 2014
The apparent lack of durability of many resistance (R) genes highlights the need for the constant identification of new genetic sources of resistance for the breeding of new disease-resistant crop cultivars.

Antioxidant Activity and Inhibition of Carbohydrate Hydrolyzing Enzymes by Underutilized Parts From Some Plant‐Based Foods and Their Effect on Postprandial Hyperglycemia

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The underutilized parts viz: pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels showed promising antioxidant and inhibition of α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase activities (IC50 values ≤ 100 μg/mL). Similarly, pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in sucrose‐ and maltose‐induced hyperglycemia in rats.

Rediscovery of Passiflora clypeophylla (subgenus Decaloba): a highly threatened and narrow endemic species found within a karstic canyon in Guatemala

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Passiflora clypeophylla, an endemic species to the Guatemalan karstic forests last seen in 1889 and deemed extinct, was rediscovered in the Department of Alta Verapaz, east of Cobán. The species was known only from a single specimen hailed from the type locality, Rubel Cruz, where it has been found again. An additional location has been identified in a

Stratified sampling enhances the understanding of bat–fruit networks in the southern Atlantic Forest

Oikos, EarlyView.
Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

Fruit‐quality tradeoffs generate asymmetry in plant reliance on mutualistic frugivores

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal is a fundamental ecological process influencing the evolution of plant life‐history strategies. In fleshy‐fruited plants dispersed by mutualistic frugivores, variation in fruit traits among closely related species may shape the temporal and spatial dynamics of dispersal events critical to population success.

Host range, purification, and genetic variability in Sweet potato chlorotic fleck virus [PDF]

, 2009
Sweet potato chlorotic fleck virus (SPCFV) has recently been classified as a putative new member of the genus Carlavirus (family Flexiviridae) on the basis of its molecular properties.

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

Species concepts and relationships in wild and cultivated potatoes [PDF]

Wild and cultivated potatoes (Solanum section Petota) present challenges to taxonomists arising from lack of clearly defined morphological character differences among many species, phenotypic plasticity, a range of ploidy levels from diploid to hexaploid,
