ABSTRACT Aim To assess evidence for geographical and environmental range expansion through polyploidy in wild potatoes ( Solanum sect. Petota ). There are diploids, triploids, tetraploids, pentaploids hexaploids this group. Location Wild occur from the south‐western USA (Utah Colorado), throughout tropical highlands of Mexico, Central America Andes, to Argentina, Chile Uruguay. Methods We compiled 5447 reports ploidy determination, covering 185 187 species, which 702 determinations presented...

Crop wild relatives have a long history of use in potato breeding, particularly for pest and disease resistance, are expected to be increasingly used the search tolerance biotic abiotic stresses. Their current future crop improvement depends on their availability ex situ germplasm collections. As these plants impacted by habitat destruction climate change, actions ensure conservation become ever more urgent. We analyzed state 73 closest (Solanum section Petota) with aim establishing...

The Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change Project set out improve the diversity, quantity, and accessibility of germplasm collections crop wild relatives (CWR). Between 2013 2018, partners in 25 countries, heirs globetrotting legacy Nikolai Vavilov, undertook seed collecting expeditions targeting CWR 28 crops global significance for agriculture. Here, we describe implementation national programs present key results. A total 4587 unique samples from at least 355 taxa were collected,...

Abstract Background Hypoxemia is the most frequent complication of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) in children. Guidelines recommend oxygen supplementation and conventional nasal prongs (NC) are used for this purpose. The aim study was to evaluate if use high‐flow cannula therapy (HFNC) children undergoing FB result a lower incidence hypoxemia than standard administration. Methods Patients aged 1 month–16 years elective were included prospective randomized controlled, nonblinded, single‐center...

The goal of germplasm conservation in genebanks is to maximize genetic variation. Collecting explorations would be more efficient if factors that predict areas and habitats associated with greater differences diversity could identified. Therefore, the objective this research was investigate whether ecogeographical variables have significant associations patterns variation wild potato populations. This study examined 96 populations collected from southwestern USA. These were 43 Solanum...

To test the hypothesis that isolates of Phytophthora infestans attacking wild Solanaceae exhibit specialization for particular host species, 115 P. were collected from cultivated potatoes, nontuber‐bearing Solanum spp. Basarthrum section and tomatoes five departments in northern central highlands Peru, characterized using several neutral markers. All belonged to one four clonal lineages described previously Peru: EC‐1, US‐1, PE‐3 PE‐7. There was a strong association three with species: only...

This breeding project, initiated at the United States Potato Genebank (USPG) in collaboration with Peruvian partners Instituto Nacional de Innovacion Agraria (INIA), International Center, Peru (CIP), and local farmers, sought to enhance cold hardiness frost tolerance native potato cultivars Peru. The Andes Altiplano are often affected by frost, which causes significant reduction yield; creating varieties superior resilience is a critical undertaking. goal was transfer outstanding...

Abstract Solanum series Conicibaccata contains about 40 wild potato (section Petota) species distributed from southern Mexico to central Bolivia. It diploids (2n = 2x 24), tetraploids 4x 48) and hexaploids 6x 72) some polyploids are likely allopolyploids. Our morphological phenetic study in an Andean site Peru (12°S, 3200 m altitude) is a replicated one done the north United States (45°N, 180 elevation) but uses more (28 vs. 25), accessions (173 100), characters (72 45) also includes members...

Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are important sources of novel genes, due to their high variability response biotic and abiotic stresses, which can be invaluable for crop genetic improvement programs. Recent studies have shown that CWRs threatened by several factors, including changes in land-use climate change. A large proportion underrepresented genebanks, making it necessary take action ensure long-term ex situ conservation. With this aim, 18 targeted collecting trips were conducted during...
