Article Synopsis
  • Grass pea, an annual legume related to common peas, can be infected by the Fusarium oxysporum pathogen, which causes significant yield losses in peas, with varying resistance observed among different grass pea plants.
  • A genome-wide association study was conducted on grass pea accessions to identify genetic regions linked to resistance against fusarium wilt, using high-throughput SNP screening and mapping against the pea reference genome.
  • The research identified 17 genomic regions associated with resistance traits, highlighting candidate genes involved in metabolism and development, which could aid in breeding disease-resistant grass pea varieties through molecular tools.

Lycopene, a precursor of β-carotene with well-known antioxidant activity and powerful health properties, can be found in many natural products such as tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), watermelon, red pepper, and papaya. Many separation methods have been reported for extracting lycopene from its sources. The inclusion complex is an effective method for extraction and purification of organic chemicals.
