Explosive radiations—substantial increases in net species diversification—have been considered one of the most intriguing diversification patterns across the Tree of Life, but the subsequent change, movement, and extinction of the constituent lineages ...

Genetic diversity of S. aethiopicum complex, S. macrocarpon and S. anguivi was investigated using molecular approach. Seeds were randomly secured across north central locations in Nigeria and planted. Nine (9) oligonucleotide primers were initially screened for their polymorphism from where five (5) polymorphic primers were selected.

Anatomical and Biochemical Studies of Solanum melongena and Solanum nigrum [PDF]
Anatomical, mineral and nutritional studies were carried out on various parts of Solanum nigrum and Solanum melongena using standard techniques. Analysis of variance was employed for data analysis. Anatomical studies showed that the two species have similar features in the transverse sections of their leaves and stem but have dissimilar features in the

Epigenetic consequences of interploidal hybridisation in synthetic and natural interspecific potato hybrids [PDF]
Interploidal hybridisation can generate changes in plant chromosome numbers, which might exert effects additional to the expected due to genome merger per se (i.e., genetic, epigenetic and phenotypic novelties).Wild potatoes are suitable to address this ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is progressively increasing tumor with lack of accurate prognosis and inadequate systemic treatment approaches. Solanum sp. (such as Solanum melongena) is a folk herb which is reported to possess anticancer properties. In a

African eggplants are highly valued constituents of the Nigerian food. However, their nutritional potentials have not been fully tapped due to inadequate information on their nutritional and anti-nutritional qualities. This present study investigated the

Biomass water content effect on soil moisture assessment via proximal gamma-ray spectroscopy [PDF]
Proximal gamma-ray spectroscopy supported by adequate calibration and correction for growing biomass is an effective field scale technique for a continuous monitoring of top soil water content dynamics to be potentially employed as a decision support tool for automatic irrigation scheduling.

Revision of the Solanum medians Complex (Solanum section Petota)
Solanum medians is a widely distributed species of wild potato (Solanum sect. Petota), growing along the coastal lomas and up the western slopes of the Andes Mountains from central Peru and northern Chile, from 200–3800 m elevation. Fertile diploid and sterile triploid cytotypes are common, are believed to be associated with morphological variants ...

Superhydrophobic sand mulches increase agricultural productivity in arid regions [PDF]
Excessive evaporative loss of water from the topsoil in arid-land agriculture is compensated via irrigation, which exploits massive freshwater resources. The cumulative effects of decades of unsustainable freshwater consumption in many arid regions are now threatening food-water security.

Introgression Browser: High throughput whole-genome SNP visualization [PDF]
Breeding by introgressive hybridization is a pivotal strategy to broaden the genetic basis of crops. Usually, the desired traits are monitored in consecutive crossing generations by marker-assisted selection, but their analyses fail in chromosome regions where crossover recombinants are rare or not viable.
