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 family Passifloraceae consists of some 700 species classified in around 16 genera. Almost all its members belong to the genus Passiflora. In Brazil, the yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is of considerable economic importance, both for juice production and consumption as fresh fruit. The availability of chloroplast genomes (cp genomes) and their sequence comparisons has led to …

The Passiflora is the richest genus of the Passifloraceae family, with many species occurring in Brazil, placing the country in an outstanding position regarding the genetic resources. Passiflora plants are cultivated for many purposes, and mostly for human consumption and juice production. The main cultivated species in Brazil are Passiflora edulis (the yellow passion fruit) and P. alata…
The sweet passion fruit (Passiflora alata) is a tropical species whose fruits are very much appreciated for in natura consumption. Our research group has been directing its efforts aiming at expanding the cultivation of P. alata in the São Paulo State, and for this purpose successive evaluations were performed that resulted in the selection of superior genotypes for yield and fruit qualit…
Phytonematodes are among the major phytosanitary problems on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), especially the root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.), perhaps the most widespread agricultural pest, and particularly the specie M. incognita, one of the most economically damaging pathogens. The control of these nematodes involves unfeasible agronomic practices, emphasizing the need for the de…

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…
