Secondary metabolites content may clarify the traditional selection process of the greater yam cultivars (Dioscorea alata L.) by Lebot, V., Malapa, R., Abraham, K., Molisale, T., Van Kien, N., Gueye, B., Waki, J.

“…The relationships between these compounds and tuber flesh oxidation and browning were also studied in order to understand their possible role in the ancient cultivars selection process. Dioscin and gracillin, the most documented Dioscorea saponins, were absent among the 550 D. alata cultivars and hybrids analyzed using HP-TLC. …”

Shaping forces modelling genetic variation patterns in the naturally fragmented forests of a South-American Beech by Azpilicueta, Maria Marta, Gallo, Leonardo Ariel

“…Natural hybridisation processes with the close related and sympatric species Nothofagus nervosa were also identified as one of the shaping forces modelling genetic variation patterns of the species. While ancient hybridisation was postulated for the northern watersheds, current hybridisation processes were suggested within the southern ones. …”

Emmer wheat eco-geographic and genomic congruence shapes phenotypic performance under mediterranean climate by Fadida-Myers, Aviya, Fuerst, Dana, Tzuberi, Aviv, Yadav, Shailesh, Nashef, Kamal, Roychowdhury, Rajib, Sansaloni, Carolina P., Hübner, Sariel, Ben-David, Roi

“…The growing global demand for plant-based health-food niche markets has promoted new commercial interest in ancient grains, including Emmer wheat. Although T. dicoccum can also perform well under harsh environments, its cultivation along the Mediterranean agro-ecosystems is sparse. …”
