In July 1999, 2 heteromyid rodents Heteromys desmarestianus Gray, 1868, were collected from the Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and examined for parasites. Individuals of a new species of Vexillata (Travassos, 1937) Durette-Desset, 1970, were found from the intestine of hosts. Vexillata brooksi n. sp. differs from all other congeners by the presence of spicules divided at the tip instead of simple spicules. The new species closely resembles Vexillata legallae Denke, 1977, and Vexillata convoluta (Caballero and Cerecero, 1943); however, it can be distinguished from both species by possessing a smaller number of cuticular ridges at the posterior part of the body in males (9 vs. 11 and 12, respectively) and by the absence of a carene at this level.

Translocations and inversions: major chromosomal rearrangements during Vigna (Leguminosae) evolution.
Theor Appl Genet

Departamento de Genética, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, PE, Brazil.
Inversions and translocations are the major chromosomal rearrangements involved in Vigna subgenera evolution, being Vigna vexillata the most divergent species. Centromeric repositioning seems to be frequent within the genus. Oligonucleotide-based fluorescence in situ hybridization (Oligo-FISH) provides a powerful chromosome identification system for inferring plant chromosomal evolution.

Two bruchid species, and , are the most significant stored insect pests of tropical legume crops. Previously, we identified a major QTL, , controlling seed resistance to these bruchids in the cultivated zombi pea () accession 'TVNu 240'. In this study, we have narrowed down the region and identified a candidate gene conferring this resistance.

The genus comprises fast-growing, diploid legumes, cultivated in tropical and subtropical parts of the world. It comprises more than 200 species among which , , , , , , and are of enormous agronomic importance. Human selection along with natural variability within these species encompasses a vital source for developing new varieties.

Legumes are one of the most economically important and biodiverse families in plants recognised as the basis to develop functional foods. Among these, the genus stands out as a good representative because of its relatively recent African origin as well as its outstanding potential. Africa is a great biodiversity centre in which a great number of species are spread, but only three of them, , and , were successfully domesticated.

Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) was used to analyze relationships among cowpea and asparagus bean landraces from southern Italy and to assess the utility of this technology to study taxonomy in a wider panel, including cultigroups, subspecies, and other species. The analysis of SNPs derived from GBS highlighted that, among the cowpea landraces, the African samples were separated from the other material, while, for the Italian landraces, a certain clustering depending on seed color/pattern was observed in the dendrogram. When examining the species complex, a clear separation between the two groups of wild subspecies, i.
