Recent results have demonstrated that the genus is non-monophyletic because the genus is nested within it, with a single species, placed as sister to the clade comprising plus the remaining species of . Here we transfer to a new segregate genus , discuss the morphological features supporting this new genus, present a key to distinguish from closely related genera in the Leucaena subclade, and provide a distribution map of .

The hairiness of the leaves is an essential morphological feature within the genus Vitis that can serve as a physical barrier. A high leaf hair density present on the abaxial surface of the grapevine leaves influences their wettability by repelling forces, thus preventing pathogen attack such as downy mildew and anthracnose. Moreover, leaf hairs as a favorable habitat may considerably affect the abundance of biological control agents.

Genus Acacia comprises around 1500 species. They are widely used to treat inflammation as well as bacterial and fungal infections as they are enriched in phytochemicals, especially phenolics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of leaves' methanolic extracts of twelve Acacia species growing in Egypt against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogens, Klebsiella pnemoniae, Bacillus aquimaris, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli.

Introduction: Useful germplasm for citrus breeding includes all sexually compatible species of the former genera , and , now merged in the single genus. An improved knowledge on the synteny/collinearity between the genome of these different species, and on their recombination landscapes, is essential to optimize interspecific breeding schemes.
Method: We have performed a large comparative genetic mapping study including several main clades of the genus.

Hippophae gyantsensis is a dioecious plant endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is significant for ecological restoration and sand stabilization. Its fruit is rich in bioactive compounds that offer economic potential. However, the inability to distinguish sexes before flowering and prolonged maturation hinder breeding and cultivation.
