A distinctive new monotypic genus from Gabon is described in the tropical plant family Annonaceae: Sirdavidia, in honor to Sir David Attenborough. Molecular phylogenetic analyses confirm that Sirdavidia, which is very distinct from a morphological standpoint, is not nested in any existing genus of Annonaceae and belongs to tribe Piptostigmateae (su...
Dans la forêt de Mikea (sud-ouest de Madagascar), les ignames sauvages du genre Dioscorea sont l'aliment de base de la population autochtone. La réduction de la couverture forestière liée à la culture sur abattis-brûlis et la part accrue des ignames dans la diète alimentaire ont des impacts sur leur abondance et leurs lieux de prélèvements. Afin d'...
BACKGROUND: Before cryopreservation is routinely used, its effect on the trueness-to-type of the regenerated plant material needs to be evaluated. OBJECTIVE: In this work, we studied the effect of seed cryopreservation on the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of wild Solanum lycopersicum Mill. plants. METHODS: Thirty-five morphological trait...

La Quinua (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) es un pseudocereal originario de los Andes importante para la seguridad alimentaria de los pequeños agricultores, así como para la producción comercial. Recientemente, se ha afirmado que la erosión genética en Bolivia podría ser el resultado de la marginación del cultivo en el Altiplano norte y de su estandariz...
