Spontaneous Flora as Reservoir for the Survival and Spread of the Almond Anthra...

Almond anthracnose, primarily caused by Colletotrichum godetiae, severely affects intensively irrigated almond orchards. This polyphagous pathogen is dispersed among plants by rain splashes. Consequently, weeds may contribute to the survival and dispersal of the inoculum during the almond tree’s dormant period. This study investigated how C. godetiae interacts with plants from various species in the spontaneous...

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 ...

Soil microbial communities in pure and mixed forests of Quercus and Pinus: Link...

In the search for sustainable vertical green systems: an innovative low-cost in...

Green façades in the urban environment represent points of biodiversity value, contributing to species conservation, acting as urban wildlife corridors connecting elements, and also aiming at sustainability, when the materials and structure are thoughtfully chosen. Ivies (Hedera spp.) are perennial climbing evergreen plants that are easy to cultivate and demand little input, and their use in vertical green syst...

Genome size variation within Crithmum maritimum: Clues on the colonization of i...

Angiosperms present an astonishing diversity of genome sizes that can vary intra- or interspecifically. The remarkable new cytogenomic data shed some light on our understanding of evolution, but few studies were performed with insular and mainland populations to test possible correlations with dispersal, speciation, and adaptations to insular environments. Here, patterns of cytogenomic diversity were assessed a...

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...

Angiosperms present an astonishing diversity of genome sizes that can vary intra- or interspecifically. The remarkable new cytogenomic data shed some light on our un-derstanding of evolution, but few studies were performed with insular and mainland populations to test possible correlations with dispersal, speciation, and adaptations to insular environments. Here, patterns of cytogenomic diversity were assessed ...
