Impact of host plant species and whitefly species on feeding behavior of Bemisia tabaci [PDF]
Whiteflies of the Bemisia tabaci species complex are economically important pests of cassava. In Africa, they cause greatest damage through vectoring viruses responsible for cassava mosaic disease and cassava brown streak disease. Several cryptic species

FfRlpA2, a conserved Fusarium effector, functions as a protease inhibitor by hijacking the E3 ubiquitin ligase IbCHYR1 to degrade the resistance factor IbZnFR, thereby promoting Fusarium pathogenicity. Conversely, the high dosage Pro::IbZnFRHap2 allele was associated with resistance to root rot disease.

Rapid, simple and accessible phytonutritional assessment methods in agricultural research
Abstract BACKGROUND Agricultural research with respect to studying the effects of genetic background and environmental conditions on plant and commercial parameters is ample. Nevertheless, data on the effects on nutritional value and phytonutritional composition are scarce, despite its significance to the consumer, as well as its importance in ...

AFLP Fingerprinting and Genetic Diversity of Main Sweetpotato Varieties in China
AFLP fingerprinting of the 98 main sweetpotato varieties planted in China has been constructed. Using 17 AFLP primer combinations which were selected from 1 208 primer combinations and generated the most amounts of polymorphic bands, AFLP analysis of the

Segregation of hydroxycinnamic acid esters mediating sweetpotato weevil resistance in storage roots of sweetpotato [PDF]
Resistance to sweetpotato weevils, (Cylas spp.) has been identified in several sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) landraces from East Africa and shown to be conferred by hydroxycinnamic acids that occur on the surface of storage roots.

SSR fingerprinting of 203 sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) varieties
Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers have been shown to be a powerful tool for varieties identification in plants. However, SSR fingerprinting of sweetpotato varieties has been a little reported. In this study, a total of 1294 SSR primer pairs, including
