Recognizing both the stakes of traditional European common bean diversity and role farmers’ gardeners’ networks play in maintaining this diversity, present study examines that local adaptation plays for management situ. To purpose, four historical varieties one modern control were multiplied on two organic farms three growing seasons. The fifteen resulting populations, initial ones populations each variety obtained after years multiplication, then grown a garden. Twenty-two Simple Sequence...
Seeds have evolved in association with diverse microbial assemblages that may influence plant growth and health. However, little is known about the composition of seed-associated ecological processes shaping their structures. In this work, we monitored relative host genotypes terroir on structure seed microbiota through metabarcoding analysis different associated to five bean cultivars harvested two distinct farms. Overall, few bacterial fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were...
During the last century, progressive substitution of landraces with modern, high yielding varieties, led to a dramatic reduction in situ conserved crop diversity Europe. Nowadays there is limited and scattered information on where are cultivated. To fill this gap lay groundwork for regional landrace conservation strategy, more than 19,335 geo-referenced cultivation sites were collated from 14 European countries. According collected data, 141 herbaceous 48 tree species cultivated across...
Excessive soil salinity is a major ecological and agronomical problem, the adverse effects of which are becoming serious issue in regions where saline water used for irrigation. Plants can employ regulatory strategies, such as DNA methylation, to enable relatively rapid adaptation new conditions. In this regard, cytosine methylation might play an integral role regulation gene expression at both transcriptional post-transcriptional levels. Rapeseed, most important oilseed crop Europe,...
The common bean is one of the most important staples in many areas world. Extensive phenotypic and genetic characterization unexplored germplasm are still needed to unlock breeding potential this crop. Dissecting control flowering time pivotal importance foster develop new varieties able adapt changing climatic conditions. Indeed, strongly affects yield plant adaptation ability. aim study was investigate days using a whole genome association approach on panel 192 highly homozygous genotypes...
Abstract Salinity poses a significant challenge to global crop productivity, affecting approximately 20% of cultivated and 33% irrigated farmland, this issue is on the rise. Negative impact salinity plant development metabolism leads physiological morphological alterations mainly due high ion concentration in tissues reduced water nutrients uptake. Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.), staple food accounting for substantial portion consumed grain legumes worldwide, highly susceptible salt...
Truffles (Tuber spp.) and other ectomycorrhizal species form species-rich assemblages in the wild as well cultivated ecosystems. We aimed to investigate communities of hazels hornbeams that are growing a 24-year-old Tuber aestivum orchard. demonstrated included numerous were phylogenetically diverse. Twenty-nine taxa identified. ectomycorrhizae abundant (9.3%), only those Tricholoma scalpturatum more so (21.4%), detected both plant symbionts with variation distribution abundance between two...
Abstract This article documents the addition of 171 microsatellite marker loci and 27 pairs single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sequencing primers to Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for following species: Bombus pauloensis , Cephalorhynchus heavisidii Cercospora sojina Harpyhaliaetus coronatus Hordeum vulgare Lachnolaimus maximus Oceanodroma monteiroi Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici Rhea americana Salmo salar trutta Schistocephalus solidus Sousa plumbea...
Poa pratensis L. is a forage and turf grass species well adapted to wide range of mesic moist habitats. Due its genome complexity little known regarding evolution, composition intraspecific phylogenetic relationships this species. In the present study we investigated morphological genetic diversity 33 P. accessions from 23 different countries using both nuclear chloroplast molecular markers as flow cytometry somatic tissues. This with aim shedding light on collection that includes cultivated...
Mineral deficiencies represent a global challenge that needs to be urgently addressed. An adequate intake of iron and zinc results in balanced diet reduces chances impairment many metabolic processes can lead clinical consequences. In plants, bioavailability such nutrients is reduced by presence compounds as phytic acid, chelate minerals reduce their absorption. Biofortification common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) represents an important strategy mineral deficiencies, especially areas the...
Abstract This article documents the addition of 153 microsatellite marker loci to Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for following species: B rassica oleracea, rycon amazonicus, D imorphandra wilsonii, E upallasella percnurus, H elleborus foetidus, I pomoea purpurea, P hrynops geoffroanus, rochilodus argenteus, yura sp. , S ylvia atricapilla, T eratosphaeria suttonii, rialeurodes vaporariorum and rypanosoma brucei . These cross‐tested on coccicinea, cuprea,...
Abstract In the actual climate change scenario, in situ conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture can significantly contribute broadening diversity our system as well increasing its resilience; nevertheless, landrace cultivation has been dramatically reduced last decades all over Europe. One most effective approaches to counteract loss is facilitating use. Aims this study were (i) describe how maintenance landraces occurs different agro-environmental conditions Europe...
Crop Wild Relatives (CWR) are wild plant taxa genetically close to a crop. Being precious source of genetic variability and traits for crop improvement, CWR have high socio-economic value identified among the main resources. Alarming enough, inter- intraspecific diversity, as well their habitat is under threat irremediable loss. Italy second richest country in Europe terms species number; applying taxon group concept 5712 been recently CWR. The aims present research identify best sites for:...
Abstract Crop Wild Relatives (CWR) are wild plants that genetically related to cultivated crops. Conserving the genetic diversity of CWR is essential for maintaining sustainability agriculture and food production in face various anthropogenic environmental pressures. In this study we aim contribute conservation planning taxa Lebanon, particular, document ecogeographic survey collection missions, carried out 2022 2023, assess presence status populations belonging Poaceae Fabaceae families...
Although the application of organic amendments to arable soils is considered be a suitable tool for improving soil fertility and enhancing carbon (C) stocks, more research required on influence input matter activity structure soil's microbial community. The aim this work was therefore make comparative study effects materials with different degrees stabilization source (an untreated pig slurry, solid fraction digestate from anaerobic fermentation wastes, livestock-derived compost, an urban...
