Journal ArticleDOI
The coffee leaf rust pathogen Hemileia vastatrix: one and a half centuries around the tropics.
Pedro Talhinhas,Dora Batista,Inês Diniz,Ana Vieira,Diogo N. Silva,Andreia Loureiro,Sílvia Tavares,A. P. Pereira,Helena Gil Azinheira,Leonor Guerra-Guimarães,Vítor Várzea,Maria do Céu Silva +11 more
TL;DR: Gene expression studies have revealed a very precocious activation of signalling pathways and production of putative effectors, suggesting that the plant-fungus dialogue starts as early as at the germ tube stage, and have provided clues for the identification of avr genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of the Apn2/MAT locus to improve the systematics of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides complex: an example from coffee (Coffea spp.) hosts
TL;DR: Following previous studies on this locus, sequence data from an expanded region is generated, revealing increased phylogenetic informativeness when compared to other commonly used markers such as ITS, β-tub2 and GS, and revealed that gene-tree discordance may come to be a common issue in resolving evolutionary relationships in the C. gloeosporioides complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host‐jump drives rapid and recent ecological speciation of the emergent fungal pathogen Colletotrichum kahawae
Diogo N. Silva,Pedro Talhinhas,Lei Cai,Luzolo Manuel,Elijah K. Gichuru,Andreia Loureiro,Vítor Várzea,Octávio S. Paulo,Dora Batista +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of pathological, molecular and geographical data was used to investigate the recent emergence of the fungus Colletotrichum kahawae, a specialist pathogen causing coffee berry disease in Coffea arabica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cashew as a high agricultural commodity in West Africa: insights towards sustainable production in Guinea-Bissau.
Filipa Monteiro,Luís Catarino,Dora Batista,Bucar Indjai,Maria Cristina Duarte,Maria M. Romeiras +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the cashew production system in the West African region, using Guinea-Bissau as a case study, and discuss how the strong dependence on a single cash crop can compromise the local livelihoods and food security.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphogenesis induction and organogenic nodule differentiation in Populus euphratica Oliv. leaf explants
TL;DR: The regeneration system here described for P. euphratica is innovative, reproducible and data from histological studies of the morphogenic process support the classification of the regenerative structures as organogenic nodules.
