Organogénesis in-vitro using three tissues types of tree tomato [ Solanum betaceum (Cav.)]

Agronomía Colombiana, 2017
Tree tomato is a fruit with great economic potential due to its high nutritional value. The induction of direct organogenesis in this species is a great alternative for clonal propagation of disease-free plants, and also useful for genetic transformation.

Habitat use and diel activity of insectivorous bats across land‐cover types on an Afrotropical oceanic island

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Using acoustic surveys, we investigated habitat use and diel activity patterns of insectivorous bats across the main land‐use types of the endemic‐rich Príncipe Island, in Central West Africa. We sampled bat activity at 48 sites spanning old‐growth forests, secondary regrowth forests, shaded cocoa plantations, and horticultural areas.

Land Reforms in Cuba: First Empirical Assessment on Productivity Using Crop‐Level Panel Data

Economics of Transition and Institutional Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land reforms implemented in Cuba since 2008 have aimed to increase agricultural production by distributing state‐owned idle lands with land‐use rights. The reforms restricted farmers with the rights from cultivating perennial and capital‐intensive crops.

Evolutionary divergence and functional insights into the heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferase of Paramecium tetraurelia

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

The Status of Labor-Saving Mechanization in Fruits and Vegetables [PDF]

The objective of this paper is to examine the status of labor-saving mechanization in U.S. fruit and vegetable harvesting. Fruit and vegetable harvest mechanization has several potential advantages: reduced harvest costs, eliminate problems associated ...

Phycocyanobilin biosynthesis in Galdieria sulphuraria requires isomerization of phycoerythrobilin synthesized by bilin reductases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The biosynthesis of bilins, tetrapyrroles essential for light harvesting and sensing, is performed by specific enzymes (FDBRs). In Galdieria sulphuraria, both phycobiliprotein types bind phycocyanobilin, despite lacking the canonical synthesizing gene PCYA. Instead, PEBA and PEBB are encoded, producing phycoerythrobilin, proposed to be later isomerized

Potential impact of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection on horticultural crop suitability in Africa

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Global warming will be devastating for horticultural crops in Africa; however, the injection of sulphur into the atmosphere has been proposed as stop‐gap solution that may help reduce the warming. This intervention may lead to an increase (~0.2) in Suitability Index Values (SIV) of mango and tomato over West and central Africa.

Genetic diversity and population structure analysis of 418 tomato cultivars based on single nucleotide polymorphism markers

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionTomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a highly valuable fruit crop. However, due to the lack of scientific and accurate variety identification methods and unified national standards, production management is scattered and non-standard, resulting ...

Wild bee diversity and land use: A case study in a mountain agroecosystem of the Serranía de Ronda, southern Spain

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Orchards supported the highest wild bee diversity and functional diversity, highlighting their role in maintaining bee communities in Mediterranean agroecosystems. Landscape heterogeneity positively influenced functional evenness and dispersion of wild bee communities, underscoring the importance of diverse landscapes for bee conservation. The presence
