Characterization of a Diverse Okra ( L. Moench) Germplasm Collection Based on Fruit Quality Traits.

Okra is an important dietary component of many Asian countries, providing high levels of dietary fiber, phytonutrients (e.g., antioxidant vitamins and pigments), and essential minerals.

Genotyping-by-sequencing derived SNP markers reveal genetic diversity and population structure of germplasm.

Orchardgrass ( L.), a widely cultivated cool-season perennial, is an important forage crop due to its adaptability, high nutritional value, and substantial biomass. Understanding its genetic diversity and population structure is crucial for developing resilient cultivars that can withstand climate change, diseases, and resource limitations.

Genetic diversity for drought tolerance in the native forage grass and possible morpho-physiological mechanisms involved.

Introduction: The use of drought tolerant genotypes is one of the main strategies proposed for coping with the negative effects of global warming in dry lands. is a native forage grass occupying extensive arid and semi-arid regions in the American continent, and used for range grazing and revegetation of degraded lands.

Methods: To identify drought-tolerant genotypes and possible underlying physiological mechanisms, this study investigated drought tolerance in 21 genetically diverse genotypes under natural field conditions.

Vernalization Requirement, but Not Post-Vernalization Day Length, Conditions Flowering in Carrot ( L.).

Carrots require a certain number of cold hours to become vernalized and proceed to the reproductive stage, and this phenomenon is genotype-dependent. Annual carrots require less cold than biennials to flower; however, quantitative variation within annuals and biennials also exists, defining a gradient for vernalization requirement (VR). The flowering response of carrots to day length, after vernalization has occurred, is controversial.

Relationships Between Bioactive Compound Content and the Antiplatelet and Antioxidant Activities of Six Vegetable Species.

sp. vegetables are widely consumed for their characteristic flavour. Additionally, their consumption may provide protection against cardiovascular disease due to their antiplatelet and antioxidant activities.
