A Bird’s Eye View of the Systematics of Convolvulaceae: Novel Insights From Nuclear Genomic Data.
Convolvulaceae is a family of c. 2,000 species, distributed across 60 currently recognized genera. It includes species of high economic importance, such as the crop sweet potato ( L.), the ornamental morning glories ( L.), bindweeds ( L.), and dodders, the parasitic vines ( L.). Earlier phylogenetic studies, based predominantly...Simões, Ana Rita G. ; Eserman, Lauren A. ; Zuntini, Alexandre R. ; Chatrou, Lars W. ; Utteridge, Timothy M. A. …

What Do the First 597 Global Fungal Red List Assessments Tell Us about the Threat Status of Fungi?
Fungal species are not immune to the threats facing animals and plants and are thus also prone to extinction. Yet, until 2015, fungi were nearly absent on the IUCN Red List. Recent efforts to identify fungal species under threat have significantly increased the number of published fungal assessments. The 597...Mueller, Gregory M. ; Cunha, Kelmer Martins ; May, Tom W. ; Allen, Jessica L. ; Westrip, James R. S. …

Genome of Pythium myriotylum Uncovers an Extensive Arsenal of Virulence-Related Genes among the Broad-Host-Range Necrotrophic Pythium Plant Pathogens.
species are oomycetes, an evolutionarily distinct group of filamentous fungus-like stramenopiles. The genus includes several pathogens of important crop species, e.g., the spice ginger. The (Peronosporales, Oomycota) genus includes devastating plant pathogens that cause widespread diseases and severe crop losses. Here, we have uncovered a far greater arsenal of virulence...Daly, Paul ; Zhou, Dongmei ; Shen, Danyu ; Chen, Yifan ; Xue, Taiqiang …

Phenoplasticity of Essential Oils from Two Species of Piper (Piperaceae): Comparing Wild Specimens and Bi-Generational Monoclonal Cultivars.
This study tested the hypothesis that “clonal chemical heritability is a crucial factor for the conservation of chemical uniformity of Piper essential oils in controlled monoclonal cultivation”. We asexually propagated first and second-generation clones of two medicinal and aromatic species, Piper gaudichaudianum Kunth and Piper mollicomum Kunth (Piperaceae), for use... -

Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: A Synopsis of Coordinated National Crop Wild Relative Seed Collecting Programs across Five Continents.
The Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change Project set out to improve the diversity, quantity, and accessibility of germplasm collections of crop wild relatives (CWR). Between 2013 and 2018, partners in 25 countries, heirs to the globetrotting legacy of Nikolai Vavilov, undertook seed collecting expeditions targeting CWR of 28 crops of...
