Unveiling the hidden codes: a review of variability and ecological epigenetics after 20 years of studies on potato.

The cultivated potato Solanum tuberosum subsp. tuberosum L. retains an important reservoir of genetic diversity in its secondary gene pool.

Response to water deficit of semi-desert wild potato Solanum kurtzianum genotypes collected from different altitudes.

Drought-sensitive crops are threatened as a consequence of limited available water due to climate change. The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is susceptible to drought and within its wild relative species, Solanum kurtzianum is the Argentinian wild potato species best adapted to arid conditions. However, its physiological responses to water deficit (WD) are still missing.

Photodynamic performance of amphiphilic chlorin e6 derivatives with appropriate properties: A comparison between different-type liposomes as delivery systems.

Background: Many aspects are currently being investigated, with the aim of improving the application of PDT in the clinic by rendering it more effective. One of the current trends focuses on the use of nanocarriers. The aim of this study is to describe novel photosensitizers among polyol amide chlorin e6 derivatives for photodynamic therapy (PDT) using liposomes.

Microsatellite analysis and marker development in garlic: distribution in EST sequence, genetic diversity analysis, and marker transferability across Alliaceae.

Allium vegetables, such as garlic and onion, have understudied genomes and limited molecular resources, hindering advances in genetic research and breeding of these species. In this study, we characterized and compared the simple sequence repeats (SSR) landscape in the transcriptomes of garlic and related Allium (A. cepa, A.

Reproductive biology of the native forage grass Trichloris crinita (Poaceae, Chloridoideae).

Trichloris crinita is a perennial forage grass species native to arid regions of the American continent. Due to its extensive area of distribution, good forage quality and resistance to drought and grazing, this species is widely utilised as forage and for revegetation purposes in environments with low water availability. Despite its importance, genetic improvement of T.
