Transcriptome profile of pecan scab resistant and susceptible trees from a pecan provenance collection
Pecan scab is a devastating disease that causes damage to pecan (Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch) fruit and leaves. The disease is caused by the fungus Venturia effusa (G. Winter) and the main management p... (Source: BMC Genomics)

What's in my Pot? Six Colletotrichum Species Causing Anthracnose in Brazilian Pecan Orchards
This study used morphological and molecular approaches to identify the Colletotrichum species causing anthracnose in pecan plantations in Southern Brazil. The isolates obtained from pecan fruits with anthracnose symptoms were grouped through quantitative morphological characteristics into three distinct morphotypes. Molecular analysis of nuclear genes allowed the identification of six species of Colletotrichum causing anthracnose in pecan: C. nymphaeae, C. fioriniae, C. gloeosporioides, C. siamense, C. kahawae, and C. karsti. Three of these species are reported for the first time as causal agents of anthracnose in pecan. T...

A novel approach for constructing personalized networks from longitudinal perceived causal relations

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPersonalized networks of psychological symptoms aim to advance therapy by identifying treatment targets for specific patients. Statistical relations in such networks can be estimated from intensive longitudinal data, but their causal interpretation is limited by strong statistical assumptions. An alternative is to create networks from patient perceptions, which comes with other limitations such as retrospective bias. We introduce the Longitudinal Perceived Causal Problem Networks (L-PECAN) approach to address both these c...

Comparison of the metabolic profile of pecan nuts cultivars [ < em > Carya illinoinensis < /em > (Wangenh.) K. Koch] by NMR spectroscopy
In this study, the metabolic profile of pecan nuts of three different cultivars was analysed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. The cultivars compared were Wichita, Stuart, and Sioux, all grown in Italy in the same pedoclimatic conditions. 31 metabolites were identified and 28 were quantified and the three species were differentiated based on multivariate PCA analysis. The differences among them, and the levels of scutellarein and GABA, in particular, were attributed to the adaptation of the plants to the climate in their original areas.PMID:37904525 | DOI:10.1080/14786419.2023.2275738 (Source: Natural Product Research)

Random amplified microsatellites (RAMS) analysis ascertains genetic variation of Alternaria alternata causing black spot disease on Carya illinoinensis in South Africa
In this study, the genetic variation of 364 A. alternata isolates was investigated by two RAMS primers (CCA5 and CGA5). In total, 6,525 alleles were produced, with a minimum of 3,182 alleles on the CGA5 primer and maximum of 3,343 alleles for CCA5 primer. Further analysis of the primers showed relatively low genetic diversity of A. alternata isolate populations, with mean values; (H = 0.12) and Shannon’s information index (I = 0.20). The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed significant differences between populations, with 88% of the genetic variation was found within populations (Nm = 3.59, PhiPT = 0.12), and...

Old but still good: genetic diversity of ancient pecan genotypes from southern Brazil
In this study, AFLP and S-SAP markers were employed to characterize the genetic diversity of ancient accessions of pecan from southern Brazil. The evaluated plants were selected and preserved by the farmers and are remnants of the first introduction of seedlings from the U.S.A into southern Brazil aiming at developing research towards establishing commercial orchards. High levels of genetic diversity were estimated, suggesting that these plants have an important genetic background for the establishment of a germplasm collection with a wide genetic basis, for the development of breeding programs for this fruit crop. Cluster...
