Background and Aims The phenolic composition of Coffea leaves has barely been studied,
and therefore this study conducts the first detailed survey, focusing on mangiferin and …

For decades coffees were associated with the genus Coffea. In 2011, the closely related
genus Psilanthus was subsumed into Coffea. However, results obtained in 2017—based on …

Abstract Background and Aims The coffee genus (Coffea) comprises 124 species, and is
indigenous to the Old World Tropics. Due to its immense economic importance, Coffea has …

Plant genomes are massively invaded by transposable elements (TEs), many of which are
located near host genes and can thus impact gene expression. In flowering plants, TE …

Potato variety discrimination based on morphological traits is laborious and influenced by
the environment, while currently applied molecular markers are either expensive or time …

Abstract Background Coffee trees (Rubiaceae) and tomato (Solanaceae) belong to the
Asterid clade, while grapevine (Vitaceae) belongs to the Rosid clade. Coffee and tomato …

Background Initial characterization of the flax genome showed that Ty1-copia
retrotransposons are abundant, with several members being recently inserted, and in close …

Maize is one of the most important crops and also a model for grass genome research.
Transposable elements comprise over 78% of the maize genome and their ability to …

Resolving phylogenetic relationships within the economically important genus Coffea
(Rubiaceae) has proven to be difficult due to low levels of plastid and nuclear ITS sequence …

The genetic diversity of endemic Madagascan Coffea species has not received any
considerable attention, despite the high extinction threat facing most of the species on the …
