Seed-Borne Fungi Associated with Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum): A Study of Seed Health, Transmission, Pathogenicity, Virulence, and Host Susceptibility

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) is widely cultivated in Brazil as a succession crop and is also used for forage and as a cover crop in conservation agriculture. However, its productivity is compromised by seed-borne phytopathogenic fungi. This study evaluated the incidence,...

Histological reorganization and spatiotemporal distribution of cell wall epitopes during somatic embryogenesis in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)

Abstract Somatic embryogenesis is a key strategy for the clonal propagation of elite oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) genotypes. Although several protocols have been established, the structural aspects underlying the induction of embryogenic callus in this species remain unkno...
