Nematode attacks are considered among the major phytosanitary issues in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) crops. The root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne are possibly the most widely distributed pest, particularly M. incognita, one of the most damaging crop pathogens. The practices for nematode control usually involve infeasible field management. The chemical control is inefficient…
Current varieties of sugarcanes (Saccharum spp.) are polyploids and accumulate aneuploid chromosomes due to the domestication process that they have been through and the interspecific origin, which involves the domesticated species S. officinarum (the 'noble cane') and the wild species S. spontaneum, both with polyploid evolutionary history. During the 'nobilization' process, the hybrids …
The genus Passiflora consists of some 520 species, 145 of which occur in Brazil, and 83 are endemic to the country. The classical taxonomy, proposed on the basis of floral and vegetative structures, subdivided the genus into 22 subgenera. However, molecular phylogenetic analyses did not confirm that infrageneric subdivision, reducing the number of subgenera to four: Astrophea, Decaloba, D…

The use of resistant cultivars is the most effective method for managing plant-parasitic nematodes. Genetic diversity is confirmed among M. incognita isolates despite their assexual mode of reproduction. Different isolates can show unique patterns of compatibility with their hosts, which can lead to resistance breakdown. Phenotyping plays a crucial role in the evaluation of nematode-resis…
The sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) genome is one of the most complex. Modern varieties are highly polyploid and aneuploid as a result of hybridization between Saccharum officinarum and S. spontaneum. Few studies have been carried out on meiotic control in polyploid species, with the exception of the Ph1 locus that harbors the ZIP4 gene (TaZIP4-B2), whose function is to promote homologous pair…
In Fitopathology, one of the biggest challenges lives on improving the phenotyping techniques to become more effective and reproducible, besides fewer invasives or non-destructive. Thus, the high throughput techniques that use optical sensors figure as an important alternative. This paper aims to investigate the possible association of the spectral phenome to the response of sensible and …
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the legumes mostly consumed in Brazil and worldwide. It as a source of food and income in several regions, mainly in developing countries. Phytonematodes, such as Meloidogyne incognita, are very harmful to crops, including the common bean, infecting the roots and resulting in less vigorous and plant susceptibility to various stresses. M. i…

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) has an extremely complex genome. Modern cultivars are highly polyploid and aneuploid due to their history of domestication, genetic improvement, and interspecific hybrid origin involving the domesticated species Saccharum officinarum (2n = 8x = 80, x = 10) ('noble cane') and the wild S. spontaneum (2n = 8x = 40 - 128, x = 8, 9, or 10). The first hybrids were bac…
Enhancing the genetic resolution of QTL mapping can aid in the identification of the shortest genomic regions affecting, for instance, plant-pathogen interactions, allowing for more precise mapping. A common method for achieving more precise mapping involves accumulating recombination events through the development and use of recombinant inbred lines. This approach breaks down large genom…
Passiflora genus comprises a large group of plants popularly known as passion fruits, much appreciated for their exotic flowers and edible fruits. Species (~500) are morphologically variable and adapted to distinct tropical ecosystems. There are ~150 species native to Brazil, of which two are cultivated. Despite their relevance, there are few genomic data available. Our laboratory has bee…
The family Passifloraceae consists of about 700 species of herbaceous or woody vines, shrubs and trees, classified in around 16 genera, with almost all of its members belonging to the genus Passiflora, popularly known as passion fruits or passionflowers. The Passiflora genus has been studied using morphological and molecular descriptors, and despite the recent taxonomical classification i…
