Cup quality profiles of Robusta coffee wilt disease resistant varieties grown in three agro-ecologies in Uganda.

Background: The recently developed Robusta coffee wilt disease resistant (CWD-r) varieties in Uganda outperform the local landraces, both in yield and resilience. However, their uptake has been slow due to limited information on their cup worth. This study profiled the cup worth of the five most commonly grown CWD-r across the Lake Victoria Crescent, Western Mid-altitude farmland and Central Wooded Savannah agro-ecologies.

Genome Sequence of a Race Pathogenic to Robusta Coffee () in Uganda.

Here, we report the first whole-genome assembly of a race pathogenic to robusta coffee in Uganda. It comprises 55,122,624 bases and 14,552 genes. Gene ontology analysis assigned 5,720 genes to biological processes, 4,545 genes to cellular components, and 6,021 genes to molecular function.

Population genetics of Southern Hemisphere tope shark (Galeorhinus galeus): Intercontinental divergence and constrained gene flow at different geographical scales.

The tope shark (Galeorhinus galeus Linnaeus, 1758) is a temperate, coastal hound shark found in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans. In this study, the population structure of Galeorhinus galeus was determined across the entire Southern Hemisphere, where the species is heavily targeted by commercial fisheries, as well as locally, along the South African coastline. Analysis was conducted on a total of 185 samples using 19 microsatellite markers and a 671 bp fragment of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene.
