Survey of Potato Virus Y infection in Tree Tomato Across Kenyan Counties
Current Agriculture Research JournalTree tomato or tamarillo (Solanum betaceum Cav.) is an important sub-tropical tree that is cultivated for its edible fruits. The main challenges to tree tomato production are diseases, pests, and drought, with viruses causing the most significant economic losses.

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Klebsiella sp. strain B7 acts as a positive regulator in alkaline stress responses in soybean. By activating pyruvic acid metabolism and L‐malic acid biosynthesis pathways, B7 significantly increases alkaline tolerance and yield in soybean. ABSTRACT Alkaline stress is a major constraint on crop growth and development and negatively impacts soybean ...

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper advances scholarship on agri‐alternatives by probing the gap between romanticised narratives of how alternative farming transitions ought to be and the actual practices farmers enact in their fields. Focusing on moments when such alternatives encounter on‐the‐ground realities, we propose ambiguous ecologies as a lens to explore the ...

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The mechanisms controlling lateral root emergence in monocots, particularly the role of the exodermis, are poorly understood. We investigated how natural variation in the Brachypodium distachyon stress response shapes root system architecture by modulating cell wall dynamics.

A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

Epigenetic regulation of mycorrhizal symbioses: from plastic responses to transgenerational legacies
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Mycorrhizal symbioses represent one of the most widespread and ecologically significant plant–microbe interactions, shaping plant nutrition, stress resilience, and ecosystem functioning. Beyond their role in nutrient exchange and systemic defense, growing evidence suggests that these symbioses also influence plant plasticity within and across ...

EBSn, a Robust Synthetic Reporter for Monitoring Ethylene Responses in Plants
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone that controls a wide array of physiologically relevant processes, including plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress, and induces ripening in climacteric fruits. To monitor ethylene in plants, analytical methods, phenotypic assays, gene expression analysis and transcriptional or translational reporters ...

[Physical, chemical and bioactive compounds of tree tomato (Cyphomandra betacea)].
Archivos latinoamericanos de nutricion, 2014 Tree tomato (Cyphomandra betacea) is appreciated for its excellent nutritional qualities, being considered a good source of antioxidants compounds, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and iron, sugars, organic acids, pectins and flavonoids. In this study, were evaluated physical parameters (weight, size, compression strength and humidity) and chemical ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant immune systems recognise pathogen‐derived molecular patterns to activate defence responses, yet the mechanisms underlying fungal pattern recognition in crops remain largely unclear. Here, we characterise the cysteine‐rich secretory protein SsSCP from the broad‐host‐range fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as a potent elicitor of ...
