Domestication of wild pears in Europe, with specific emphasis on the Caucasian endemic pear Pyrus communis subsp. caucasica (Fed.) Browicz Cultivated pears are economically one of the most important fruits in temperate regions. Two separate taxonomic groups are distinguished, a European and Southwest Asian group, and an East Asian gro...

Next up is Professor Sansebastiano, who will provide an overview of the importance of #agricultural #landraces.

Astronomy Divine is supposed to be well suited for cooler soils like the soil at Lofthouse’s farm located high up in a mountain valley.

Very intriguing and exciting!

Hopefully it will grow well and we will be able to share pictures showing how it develops.

We set out to answer two main questions: 1) exactly what #maizecob parts produce rondel phytoliths (this was not clear in the literature), and 2) can we use computer-assisted #morphometricanalysis (CAMA) of cob rondel phytoliths to identify 24 southwestern maize #landraces.

Life story of Tunisian durum wheat landraces revealed by their genetic and phenotypic diversity Durum wheat ( Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum ) landraces represent a prominent genetic resource for Mediterranean farming systems and breeding programs. Fourteen landraces sampled in Tunisia were genotyped with 9 microsatellite markers and characterized with 15 morphological descriptors, including resistance to the fungal disease Septoria tritici blotch (STB). The genetic diversity, nearly was as important within landraces populations (45%) than between populations (54%). It was structured in seven genetic groups and was only partly explained by the variety name or the locality of origin. Populations were also greatly diversified phenotypically (Shannon-Weaver H’=0.54) with traits related to spike and awn colours being the most diversified. Resistance to STB was either qualitative in two populations or with varying degrees of quantitative resistance in the others. A Pst-Fst comparison indicate a local adaptation of the populations. Overall, the genetic structure of Tunisian durum wheat landraces revealed a complex selection trajectory and seed exchanges between farmers. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Congrats Safa for the #preprint of your first first-author manuscript!
