Abstract
Fusarium wilt, caused by the soilborne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense ( Foc), is considered one of the most destructive diseases of bananas in Brazil. In this study, a collection of 194 monosporic isolates from several banana-producing regions located in different climatic zones along a south-to-north transect in Brazil was formed to assess the genetic structure of the…

Abstract
Golden buckwheat (Fagopyrum dibotrys or Fagopyrum cymosum) and Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) belong to the Polygonaceae and the Fagopyrum genus is rich in flavonoids. Golden buckwheat is a wild relative of Tartary buckwheat, yet golden buckwheat is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine and Tartary buckwheat is a food crop. The genetic basis of adaptive divergence…
