This species holds great importance in bioeconomy, yet there is limited knowledge to address its production. Utilizing predictive distribution modeling, we can identify areas in Sergipe with a high likelihood of the natural occurrence of S. tuberosa, which is crucial for targeted conservation efforts. Comprehensive phenotypic characterization was conducted on a natural population, selecting individuals and examining traits ranging from tree architecture to fruit biometry, and including information on seed conservation under storage conditions. The findings revealed substantial variance in germination rates and seedling vigor related to the duration of endocarp storage, although no significant differences were observed in overall germination success across different storage times. However, prolonged storage resulted in an increase in abnormal seedlings and deteriorated seeds. The integration of phenotypic data and predictive modeling provides a robust framework for understanding ecological dynamics and supports sustainable management practices for S. tuberosa, aligning with bioeconomic goals. This research underscores the importance of maintaining phenotypic variability within populations, which is vital for the adaptive capacity of species to changing environmental conditions and for enhancing local bioeconomies.","PeriodicalId":12467,"journal":{"name":"Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

C. sativa has significant economic importance in Europe and has spread by human activity to all geographical regions that are within the species’ ecological limits. The present work describes a C. sativa genome assembly of the cultivar Sarı Aşılama, which is the most widely cultivated chestnut in Anatolia. The assembly represents 83.4% of the chestnut genome with a gene completeness estimate of 90.2%. The repetitive DNA content of the assembly was identified as 47% and was predominated by LTR (long terminal repeat) retrotransposons. 20,161 annotated protein coding gene models were identified in the assembly and genome-based miRNA (micro RNA) identification analysis with a machine-learned classifier proved successful in identifying 1489 putative loci. Protein coding gene models were scanned for microsatellites for the development of genic markers and cross-species transferability was assessed, resulting in 1600 consensus genic markers for the European and Asian chestnut genomes. The markers tested on a collection of chestnut genotypes proved successful in discriminating C. sativa cultivars and hybrids. The European chestnut genome assembly and, data from genome characterization and marker development analyses are anticipated to make a useful and significant contribution to genomic research in the Castanea genus.","PeriodicalId":12467,"journal":{"name":"Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A meta-analysis of RNA-seq research and analysis of Nicotiana tabacumrevealed distinctive expression patterns of the lignin biosynthetic network. Through a meta-analysis of RNA-seq data on Nicotiana tabacum under drought stress, we identified 67 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with lignin biosynthesis. Notably, 17 of these DEGs were detected only through meta-analysis, and not in individual investigations. WGCNA showed 14 clusters for the meta-genes. Several TF families and regulatory factors were identified as the most likely candidate genes related to the lignin metabolic pathway. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of eight major meta-genes in two tobacco genotypes with contrasting lignin content (NC100 – high lignin content; Burley, low lignin content) under PEG-induced drought stress showed genotype-specific responses. CAD2 and ATH12 were upregulated in NC100, while CAD2 and CCR were upregulated in Burly. Interestingly, despite overall lignin accumulation, expression levels of CCoAOMT, F5H, COMT, and ODO1 were reduced in both genotypes.Our findings highlight the complex regulation of lignin biosynthesis under drought stress and the importance of genotype-specific responses. This study demonstrates the power of meta-analysis in identifying DEGs not detected in individual investigations, enhancing our understanding of lignin metabolism in tobacco under drought conditions. The observed genotype-specific differences underscore the need for tailored approaches in studying lignin biosynthesis in various tobaccocultivars under stress.","PeriodicalId":12467,"journal":{"name":"Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is demonstrated that the leaf structure of F1 plants contains micromorphological markers common to both parental forms and traits peculiar to one of the parents. Among those specific to the paternal form (E. farctus) are the Ω-shaped anticlinal walls of long epidermal cells, rounded silica cells, shield-shaped prickle hairs with a shortened barb on both leaf surfaces, and apically directed prickles on the adaxial costal zone. The presence of trichomes in the intercostal zone of the leaf adaxial side and macrohairs on the veins is likely to have been inherited from the maternal form and may be traced back to cultivar ‘Botanicheskaya 3’ and E. intermedia. The average cell width of cell rows in hybrids corresponded to the values of wild species E. farctus. Moreover, the hybrids exhibited smaller and more frequent stomata than both parental forms, as well as E. farctus. Concurrently, while the characteristics of the wild species E. farctus were dominant in the initial generation, those of the cultivated form (× Trititrigia × ‘Botanicheskaya 3’) were evident in the fourth generation. This was evidenced by the emergence of silica cells analogous to those observed in the maternal form, as well as the appearance of hybrid samples that exhibited spikelet shape, stomatal frequency, and cell row width characteristics similar to those of the cultivated maternal plant. These changes are likely the result of the loss of genetic material from the wild paternal species, E. farctus.","PeriodicalId":12467,"journal":{"name":"Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Descending the taxonomic hierarchy from family to genus, species, subspecies, and variety is associated with a decrease in genetic diversity and an increase in homozygosity. Likewise, prolonged selection of plants favouring yield traits over many generations has narrowed the genetic variation within cultivars; this renders these cultivars susceptible to the impact of climate change and evolving pest and disease pressure. Harnessing the genetic variability present in crop wild relatives within the genus Solanum, focusing on important traits such as insect resistance, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, yield enhancement, and nutritional quality can address the problem of food and nutritional security. Despite the promising traits in wild species, several barriers exist to incorporate traits from wild species to cultivars. This review discusses commercially important identified traits from the wild relatives of potato, tomato and eggplant, barriers in hybridization and method to overcome these barriers. Exploitation of the important traits from wild relatives holds substantial potential to address current and future challenges in Solanum crop improvement, ensuring food security and agricultural sustainability in a changing global environment.","PeriodicalId":12467,"journal":{"name":"Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pichon is a multi-purpose woody liana found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. It has high nutritional and economic values. Yet, limited research has been undertaken to understand the role of genetic status and the environment on the intraspecific variation in S. senegalensis individuals.This study investigated the variations in fruit and seed traits of S. senegalensis along a climatic gradient in Burkina Faso, sub-Sahara Africa. A total of 900 mature fruits were collected from 180 randomly selected parent trees from six sites along a climatic gradient in the Sudanian and Sudano-sahelian zones. We measured seven fruit traits(length, width, weight, pericarp thickness, number of seeds per fruit, pulp weight, and sugar rate) and three seed traits(length, width, and weight).The data collected was used to calculate broad-sense heritability and we also performed a Random Forest analysis to detect the most influential environmental variables in fruit and seed traits variability. The variation in fruit and seed traits was mainly determined by genetic factors, but all traits were also influenced by environmental factors such as climatic variables. The pulpiest fruit came from the both zones. However, the sweetest fruits originated from the Sudano-sahelian zone.

Significant phenotypic variation was observed between the evaluated traits, with DMY, NT, and LW exhibiting the most pronounced differences. DMY, PH, and NT displayed positive correlations and demonstrated a robust ability to distinguish between the genotypes. Cluster analysis revealed four distinct groups of genotypes.
