Olive Anthracnose in Portugal Is Still Mostly Caused by Colletotrichum nymphaea...

Olive anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum fungi, is responsible for major fruit yield losses and poor olive oil quality worldwide. In the Mediterranean basin, some Colletotrichum spp. appear to be replacing others, possibly due to climate change and modification in cultural systems. To update the situation in Portugal, 525 olive groves were surveyed throughout the country over two years, revealing a decrease ...

Diploid Nuclei Occur throughout the Life Cycles of Pucciniales Fungi

Within Eukaryotes, fungi are the typical representatives of haplontic life cycles. Basidiomycota fungi are dikaryotic in extensive parts of their life cycle, but diploid nuclei are known to form only in basidia. Among Basidiomycota, the Pucciniales are notorious for presenting the most complex life cycles, with high host specialization, and for their expanded genomes. Using cytogenomic (flow cytometry and cell ...

Identification of HIR, EDS1 and PAD4 genes reveals differences between Coffea s...

Coffee, a widely consumed important agricultural product, is mainly produced from two species, Coffea arabica (Arabica coffee) and C. canephora (Robusta coffee). Timor Hybrid (HDT) is a population resulting from a natural cross between C. arabica and C. canephora. HDT derivatives have a high spectrum of resistance to different races of Hemileia vastatrix (Hv), the causal agent of coffee leaf rust. A RNAseq data...

Assessment of carbon metabolism of Coffee Kawisari hybrid challenged by Hemilei...

Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to coordinate carbon metabolism during growth and development both under optimal and stress conditions. In coffee-rust biotrophic interactions, plants try to limit pathogen access to nutrients (e.g., sugars and sugar derivatives) and trigger immune responses, while Hemileia vastatrix (Hv) attempts to circumvent plant defences and control the host's primary metabolism...

First report of a genome sequence resource of Colletotrichum kahawae, the causa...

Pathological, morphological, cytogenomic, biochemical and molecular data suppor...

The genus Colletotrichum has witnessed tremendous variations over the years in the number of species recognized, ranging from 11 to several hundreds. Host-specific fungal species, once the rule, are now the exception, with polyphagous behavior regarded as normal in this genus. The species Colletotrichum kahawae was created to accommodate the pathogens that have the unique ability to infect green developing co e...

Dietary antioxidants in coffee leaves: impact of botanical origin and maturity ...

Natural polyphenols are important dietary antioxidants that significantly benefit human health. Coffee and tea have been shown to largely contribute to the dietary intake of these antioxidants in several populations. More recently, the use of coffee leaves to produce tea has become a potential commercial target, therefore prompting studies on the quantification of polyphenols in coffee leaves. In this study a v...
