Alterations in Gene Expression during Incompatible Interaction between Amendoim Cavalo Common Bean and .

Anthracnose, caused by the fungus , poses a significant and widespread threat to the common bean crop. The use of plant genetic resistance has proven to be the most effective strategy for managing anthracnose disease. The Amendoim Cavalo (AC) Andean cultivar has resistance against multiple races of , which is conferred by the gene.

Responsiveness of Candidate Genes on Loci in Common Bean Challenged by Anthracnose and Angular Leaf Spot Pathogens.

Anthracnose (ANT) and angular leaf spot (ALS) are significant diseases in common bean, leading to considerable yield losses under specific environmental conditions. The California Dark Red Kidney (CDRK) bean cultivar is known for its resistance to multiple races of both pathogens. Previous studies have identified the resistance loci on chromosome Pv01.

Management of pruning and evaluation in blackberry cultivars in relation to productive characteristics and bioactive compounds.

The goal of this work was to evaluate blackberry cultivars in terms of productivity and bioactive compounds. Two experiments were conducted: in the first experiment four cultivars were evaluated (Cherokee, Guarani, BRS-Tupy and Xavante). In the second experiment, the effects of pruning management in the BRS-Tupy cultivar were evaluated with the following treatments: drastic winter pruning (zero primocane), and maintenance of two, three or four primocanes in the winter pruning.
