“…Moreover, the rate of Moringa tree to absorb carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is fifty times (50x) higher when compared to the Japanese cedar tree; and also twenty times (20x) higher than that of general vegetation (Villafuerte et al, 2009;Hernandez et al, 2015;Potadar and Patil, 2017). As such, integration of the species in agroforestry systems will mitigate the impacts of climate change (Kumar et al, 2017). As the nutritional values of M. oleifera significantly contribute to reduced food insecurity, the maintenance of these value under climatic change become a great challenge which need to be fixed.…”

“…A successful strategy used by moringa to cope with prolonged periods of drought involves long‐term investment of resources into multiple secondary metabolites such as isoprenoids and flavonoids, thus limiting severe photo‐inhibitory processes and oxidative damages. Furthermore, moringa has a deep root system and is an exceptionally fast‐growing tree; it can reach 3 m high in just 3 mo and up to 12–15 m in few years and is often used in agroforestry (Devkota & Bhusal, 2020; Y. Kumar et al., 2017). Nowadays, its culture is spreading to other areas characterized by low soil nutrients and water availability and high annual low temperatures including the Mediterranean basin (Trigo et al., 2020; Vaknin & Mishal, 2017).…”

Chromosome‐scale assembly of the Moringa oleifera Lam. genome uncovers polyploid history and evolution of secondary metabolism pathways through tandem duplication

The African Orphan Crops Consortium (AOCC) selected the highly nutritious, fast growing and drought tolerant tree crop moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) as one of the first of 101 plant species to have its genome sequenced and a first draft assembly was published in 2019. Given the extensive uses and culture of moringa, often referred to as the multipurpose tree, we generated a significantly improved new version of the genome based on long‐read sequencing into 14 pseudochromosomes equivalent to n = 14 haploid chromosomes. We leveraged this nearly complete version of the moringa genome to investigate main drivers of gene family and genome evolution that may be at the origin of relevant biological innovations including agronomical favorable traits. Our results reveal that moringa has not undergone any additional whole‐genome duplication (WGD) or polyploidy event beyond the gamma WGD shared by all core eudicots. Moringa duplicates retained following that ancient gamma events are also enriched for functions commonly considered as dosage balance sensitive. Furthermore, tandem duplications seem to have played a prominent role in the evolution of specific secondary metabolism pathways including those involved in the biosynthesis of bioactive glucosinolate, flavonoid, and alkaloid compounds as well as of defense response pathways and might, at least partially, explain the outstanding phenotypic plasticity attributed to this species. This study provides a genetic roadmap to guide future breeding programs in moringa, especially those aimed at improving secondary metabolism related traits.

Ľudové piesne odzrkadľujú vzájomný vzťah medzi človekom a prírodou a predstavujú významný zdroj etnobiologických informácií. V príspevku sú predstavené najvýznamnejšie stromy v ľudových piesňach Slovenska, ich symbolický význam, aj praktické využitie. Cel kovo bolo analyzovaných 4 341 slovenských ľudových piesní. Stromy boli spomínané v 14 % pie sní, pričom bolo identifikovaných 31 rastlinných druhov a rodov (24 voľne rastúcich a 8 pestovaných), ktoré patria do 12 rastlinných čeľadí. Najviac spomínanými boli javor, dub, jabloň, lipa a buk. Ľudové piesne prispievajú k zachovaniu tradičných ekologických poznatkov a pomáhajú lepšie pochopiť dávny vzťah našich predkov k prírode.
