The effect of plant domestication on plant-microbe interactions remains difficult to prove. In this study, we provide evidence a the composition and abundance microbiota. We focused genus Phaseolus, which underwent four independent events within two species (P. vulgaris P. lunatus), providing multiple replicates process spanning thousands years. targeted Phaseolus seeds identify link between domesticated traits bacterial community as have been subject large consistent phenotypic changes...
The gene pools for breeding cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) in Africa currently contain only a fraction of the existing genetic variation found Latin America where crop originates. Our research aimed to broaden base by introducing American (LA) germplasm. first set introductions comprised sexual seeds that led evaluation 20,032 seedlings Nigeria between 1990 and 1994. A second vitro cultures, dominant CMD2 mosaic disease (CMD) resistance was introgressed into LA germplasm through...
Genebanks underpin global food security, conserving and distributing agrobiodiversity for use in research breeding. The CGIAR collections include >700,000 seed accessions, held trust as public goods. However, the role of genebanks contributing to security can only be realized if are effectively managed. Examination historical viability monitoring data from seven confirmed that high was maintained many decades various crops forage species. departures optimum management procedures were...
Foliar fertilization with micronutrients can improve the nutritional status of soybean plants and enhance grain yield, especially when grown in Cerrado region. This study aimed to evaluate agronomic efficiency using foliar fertilizers based on Cu, Zn, Mn, Mo Co during vegetative reproductive stages as an alternative yield tropical soil. The experimental design used was randomized blocks, a 3 × 5 factorial scheme, four replications. treatments consisted cultivation three cultivars (ST 797...
El maracuyá ( P. edulis f. flavicarpa ), la granadilla ligularis ) y gulupa son económicamente las principales especies del género Passiflora L. por su fruto comestible comercialización en mercados locales e internacionales. objetivo de este estudio fue identificar el comportamiento fisiológico semilla maracuyá, frente al almacenamiento como una contribución a conservación ex situ . diseño experimental utilizado completamente azar con cinco tratamientos tres repeticiones siguiendo protocolo...
Mechanical scarification with a scalpel is the best treatment to break physical dormancy and reach high germination percentages in many legumes. However, it highly time-consuming. Given ecological relationship between presence of temperatures tropical grasslands, dry heat could also promote breaking Desmodium Stylosanthes species. This study assessed seed several accessions nine species . Seeds were treated (80°C for 30 minutes) scarified determine whether reliable alternative overcome...
This work explains the reasons why a bean collection was established in 1973 at International Center of Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) near Palmira Colombia. It shows impact on plant breeding and agricultural development through distribution germplasm to center’s program, successively find resistances pests diseases, adaptation low phosphorus drought, more recently higher content iron zinc seeds. The also used progress knowledge biological sciences, as shown by dozen examples. A reason behind...
Abstract Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is the second most important domesticated species of Phaseolus in world and could represent a precious alternative for food security quality, as well play major role sustainability face climate change Latin America worldwide. Currently, many experts on conservation, domestication, genetic improvement, plant-rhizosphere relationship have been working alone or small groups. This situation has limited obtaining greater benefit from their research...
