Insights into the Diversity and Pathogenicity of Colletotrichum Species Associated with Coffee Anthracnose in China| Chapter 1 | Advances in Colletotrichum Species Causing Coffee Anthracnose in China

 

Coffee is a significant traded commodity for developing countries. Among the various diseases affecting coffee, anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. has re-emerged as a major constraint on global coffee production. In this study, 74 Colletotrichum isolates were obtained from coffee plants exhibiting anthracnose symptoms across nine plantations in China. Phenotypic characterisation was first performed for preliminary identification. The MAT1-2 (ApMat) gene was used to identify 55 isolates as belonging to the C. gloeosporioides species complex. The remaining 19 isolates were identified using a multi-locus phylogenetic analysis based on the ITS, act, chs-1, gapdh, and gs loci. These isolates were classified into seven species from five species complexes: C. gloeosporioides (including C. siamense, C. nupharicola, and C. theobromicola), C. boninense (C. karstii), C. gigasporum (C. gigasporum), C. orchidearum (C. cliviicola), and C. magnum (C. brevisporum). This study presents the first global report of C. nupharicola and C. cliviicola as causal agents of coffee anthracnose, and it is also the first record of C. nupharicola in China. Pathogenicity tests confirmed that all seven species can infect coffee leaves and cause anthracnose symptoms. The identification of multiple Colletotrichum species, including newly reported pathogens, underscores the complexity of coffee anthracnose management, highlighting the practical importance of tailored disease control strategies. Understanding the genetic diversity and pathogenicity of these species can aid in developing targeted management approaches, such as resistant coffee varieties or specific fungicides. The discovery of C. nupharicola and C. cliviicola as pathogens in coffee globally suggests that these species may have a broader host range and wider geographic distribution than previously recognised. This research significantly advances our understanding of the Colletotrichum species complex associated with coffee anthracnose and provides a foundation for developing more effective management strategies, which is crucial for protecting coffee production in developing countries where the crop is a key economic resource.

Limnophila heterophylla (Scrophulariaceae): A Review of Chemical and Pharmacological Aspects | Chapter 4 | Pharmaceutical Science: New Insights and Developments Vol. 9

 

Limnophila (family: Scrophulariaceae) originates from a Latin word that means pond-loving, indicating its existence in aquatic environments. This is an aquatic, or nearly aquatic, perennial herb found as a submersed, emergent, and amphibious stem plant. Limnophila plants are extensively used in the indigenous system of medicine and are found to be useful and effective. This study offers a review of the chemistry and pharmacology of Limnophila heterophylla (Roxb.) Benth., recognised as one of the most significant plant species in traditional medicine and established as a source of flavonoids, terpenoids, etc. The isolated phytochemicals, as well as different extracts, exhibited some kind of biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing.  Exhaustive research regarding the isolation of more phytochemicals and pharmacology studies on this medicinal plant is still necessary so as to explore the plant regarding its medicinal importance. This review encourages contemporary researchers to undertake further investigations, ultimately facilitating the development of effective drugs derived from Limnophila heterophylla in the near future.

Occurrence and Taxonomic Significance of Cystoliths in Acanthaceae | Chapter 4 | Innovations in Biological Science Vol. 1

 The present study investigated foliar anatomical features of some Acanthaceae, of which cystoliths form a slender segment. Foliar anatomical features of 43 species belonging to 22 genera of the family Acanthaceae were studied. Cystoliths are characteristic of the family. Generally, they are present in laminar epidermis, petiolar epidermis and ground tissue. They exhibit different shapes, sizes and even colors. In some taxa, both ends of cystoliths are obtuse or acute, whereas in others one of the ends of cystolith are either obtuse or acute. They observed either single or double. However, they are totally absent in Acanthus spinosus L., Adhatoda beddomei C.B. Clarke and Staurogyne zeylanica (Nees) O. Ktze. This communication reviewed their occurrence in the family and highlighted their taxonomic significance.

Comprehensive Assessment of the Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Status of the Celeastralean Plexus | Chapter 5 | Advanced Research in Biological Science Vol. 9

The taxonomic and phylogenetic status of the celeastralean plexus is thoroughly evaluated and reported. A synthetic review has been attempted using the data from several disciplines disclosed by previous writers as well as the current author's alliance study. The taxonomic literature indicated that the Celeastrales (sensu lato) are a loose-knit assemblage. The tribal, subfamilial, familial and even ordinal boundaries are uncertain and even criss-cross each other. It appeared that the alliance can be grouped under two taxonomic entities viz., the Celastrales and the Rhamnales which appear evolved convergently.

Study on an Extended and Granular Classification of Cloud’s Taxonomy and Services | Chapter 11 | Theory and Practices of Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 6

Cloud computing has recently been advanced as one of the most admired computing models in the field of knowledge that concerns distributed information systems to serve the world as a cloud society. In order to differentiate from its core descendants such as grid computing, geographical information systems, and distributed system, distributed, virtualization and service-oriented design have provided ascendancy to cloud computing. Though cloud computing dominates e-society, progress is still under review. The architecture of the taxonomy of the cloud and its services are very critical cloudification issues because under its umbrella some new advances and innovations are attached every day. The suggested taxonomy captures the principles of cloud computing in a straightforward way, and is therefore quite suitable for cloud computing to be understood. Having a simple taxonomy helps one to define explicitly the group in which our issue falls. In this paper, we proposed an expanded and granular classification of cloud computing taxonomy and defined services, which is a systematic cloud ontology that will help researchers and stakeholders better understand, create, and incorporate their lives with cloud technology and services.

Jumping Plant-louse of the Genus Pseudoeriopsylla (Hemiptera-Psylloïdea-Homotomidae), Pest of Moraceae from Cameroon | Chapter 9 | Recent Research Advances in Biology Vol. 2

 In Cameroon, four species of Pseudoeriopsylla are known: P. laingi, P. etoundii, P. bitomi and P. mpoamei. The genus Pseudoeriopsylla is exclusively African and is distinguished by the presence of a pterostigma on the forewing and the absence of a costal split. In 1957, Eastop caught one species of P. laingi in a yellow trap in Bamenda (North-West) and it is not redescribed here. The morphological features of the three described species from Cameroon are revealed in this work. The leaves and young buds of Ficus spp. feed on these insects. (Moraceae) in Cameroon's western highlands.
