Lupin cultivation worldwide is threatened by anthracnose, a destructive disease caused by the seed- and air-borne fungal pathogen Colletotrichum lupini. In this study we explored the intraspecific diversity of 39 C. lupini isolates collected from different lupin cultivating regions around the world, and representative isolates were screened for their pathogenicity and virulence on white and Andean lupin. Multi-locus phylogeny and morphological characterizations showed intraspecific diversity to be greater than previously shown, distinguishing a total of six genetic groups and ten distinct morphotypes. Highest diversity was found across South America, indicating it as the center of origin of C. lupini. The isolates that correspond to the current pandemic belong to a genetic and morphological uniform group, were globally widespread, and showed high virulence on tested white and Andean lupin accessions. Isolates belonging to the other five genetic groups were mostly found locally and showed distinct virulence patterns. Two highly virulent strains were shown to overcome resistance of advanced white lupin breeding material. This stresses the need to be careful with international seed transports in order to prevent spread of currently confined but potentially highly virulent strains. This study improves our understanding of the diversity, phylogeography and pathogenicity of a member of one of the world's top 10 plant pathogen genera, providing valuable information for breeding programs and future disease management.

Quinoa is an ancient Andean crop with a significant interest due to its nutritional and health benefits. This work provides a comprehensive metabolite profiling of five commercially available quinoa grains from diverse geographical origins. GC-MS analysis of primary metabolites identified sugars, sugar derivatives, and lipids as the predominant classes.

Article Synopsis
- A new species of the Gesneriaceae family, named Clavijo & J.L.Clark, has been identified on the western Andean slopes of southern Colombia and northern Ecuador.
- This species was previously confused with another endemic species native to Colombia's Chocó region, which also has large calyx lobes and tubular corollas.
- Key differences include the new species' unique stem texture, leaf shape, corolla colors, and the nature of its fruits, along with the inclusion of digital images and a preliminary extinction risk assessment.

Article Synopsis
- Potato cultivation in Ecuador's Andes, particularly the Superchola cultivar, accounts for 60% of the country's potato production, with significant observations made from November 2022 to January 2023 related to stem lesions on these plants.
- An investigation of symptomatic plants led to the isolation of 14 bacterial strains, with one (M3) identified as pathogenic, causing lesions on potato tubers and stems.
- Pathogenicity tests confirmed that only isolate M3 induced disease symptoms in healthy potato plants using specific inoculation techniques.
Transcriptome analysis reveals biosynthesis and regulation of flavonoid in common bean seeds during grain filling.

The Andean domesticated common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are significant sources of phenolic compounds associated with health benefits. However, the regulation of biosynthesis of these compounds during bean seed development remains unclear. To elucidate the gene expression patterns involved in the regulation of the flavonoid pathway, we conducted a transcriptome analysis of two contrasting Chilean varieties, Negro Argel (black bean) and Coscorron (white bean), at three developmental stages associated with seed color change, as well as different flavonoid compound accumulations.

Quinoa is emerging as a key seed crop for global food security due to its ability to grow in marginal environments and its excellent nutritional properties. Because quinoa is partially allogamous, we have developed quinoa inbred lines necessary for molecular genetic analysis. Our comprehensive genomic analysis showed that the quinoa inbred lines fall into three genetic subpopulations: northern highland, southern highland, and lowland.
