Open AccessXanthomonas infection and ozone stress distinctly influence the microbial community structure and interactions in the pepper phyllosphere
While the physiological and transcriptional response of the host to biotic and abiotic stresses have been intensely studied, little is known about the resilience of associated microbiomes and their contributio...

Chapter
Solanum Chacoense Genome Sequence
Cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) was domesticated nearly 8,000 years ago and stands as the world’s most important tuber crop. Potato breeding has been hampered by the polyploid nature of the potato genome...

Impact of climate change on storage conditions for major agricultural commodities across the contiguous United States
Changes in postharvest storage conditions due to climate change can directly affect energy usage and food supply and quality. However, no study has assessed climate change impacts on postharvest storage condit...

Open AccessA common genetic mechanism underlies morphological diversity in fruits and other plant organs
Shapes of edible plant organs vary dramatically among and within crop plants. To explain and ultimately employ this variation towards crop improvement, we determined the genetic, molecular and cellular bases o...

Potential impacts of climate change on storage conditions for commercial agriculture: an example for potato production in Michigan
Climate change is anticipated to influence all parts of agricultural production systems. However, the potential impacts on crop storage have rarely been assessed, even though storage is an important component ...

Impact of choice of future climate change projection on growth chamber experimental outcomes: a preliminary study in potato
Understanding the impacts of climate change on agriculture is essential to ensure adequate future food production. Controlled growth experiments provide an effective tool for assessing the complex effects of c...

Open AccessPhysiological and transcriptomic responses in the seed coat of field-grown soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) to abiotic stress
Understanding how intensification of abiotic stress due to global climate change affects crop yields is important for continued agricultural productivity. Coupling genomic technologies with physiological crop ...

Open AccessMeiotic crossovers are associated with open chromatin and enriched with Stowaway transposons in potato
Meiotic recombination is the foundation for genetic variation in natural and artificial populations of eukaryotes. Although genetic maps have been developed for numerous plant species since the late 1980s, few...

Open AccessDistinct transcriptional profiles of ozone stress in soybean (Glycine max) flowers and pods
Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a secondary air pollutant and anthropogenic greenhouse gas. Concentrations of tropospheric O3 ([O3] have more than doubled since the Industrial Revolution, and are high enough to damage...

The effects of salinity on photosynthesis and growth of the single-cell C4 species Bienertia sinuspersici (Chenopodiaceae)
Recent research on the photosynthetic mechanisms of plant species in the Chenopodiaceae family revealed that three species, including Bienertia sinuspersici, can carry out C4 photosynthesis within individual phot...
