Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is the most important food legume in world. Although this crop very to both developed and developing world as a means of dietary protein supply, resources available common are limited. Global transcriptome analysis better understand gene expression, genetic variation, structure annotation addition other features. However, number description sequences limited, which greatly inhibits genome research. Here we used 454 pyrosequencing obtain substantial dataset...
Abstract Camptothecin (CPT), an indole alkaloid popular for its anticancer property, is considered the third most promising drug after taxol and famous alkaloids from Vinca treatment of cancer in humans. was first identified Camptotheca acuminata followed by several other plant species endophytic fungi. Increased harvesting driven rising global demand depleting availability elite genotypes, such as Nothapodytes nimmoniana , crucial producing used treating diseases like cancer. Conservation...
Abstract Background Blueberries ( Vaccinium section Cyanococcus ) are an economically important fruit crop in the United States. Understanding genetic structure and relationships blueberries is essential to advance improvement of horticulturally traits. In present study, we investigated genomic evolutionary 195 blueberry accessions from five species (comprising 33 V. corymbosum , 14 boreale, 81 darrowii, 29 myrsinites, 38 tenellum using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mined...
Blueberry ( Vaccinium spp.) is one of the most economically important berry crops worldwide. Validation genetic mapping studies often hindered by asynchronous marker technology. The development a standardized genotyping platform that targets specific set polymorphic loci can be practical solution to unify scientific and breeding community toward blueberry improvement. objective this study was develop evaluate targeted for cultivated blueberries affordable, reproducible, sufficiently high...
Sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marshall) is a temperate tree species in the northeastern parts of United States and economically important for its hardwood syrup production. trees are highly vulnerable to changing climatic conditions, especially drought, so understanding physiological, biochemical, molecular responses critical. The sugar saplings were subjected drought stress 7, 14, 21 days physiological data collected at after (DAS) showed significantly reduced chlorophyll Normalized...
Abstract Blueberry belongs to the Vaccinium genus and is a highly popular fruit crop with significant economic importance. It was not until early twentieth century that they began be domesticated through extensive interspecific hybridization. Here, we collected 220 accessions from various geographical locations, including 154 United States, 14 China, eight Australia, 29 Europe other countries, comprising 164 corymbosum, 15 ashei, 10 lowbush blueberries, seven half-high others. We present...
Blueberries (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus) are perennial shrubs widely cultivated for their edible fruits. In this study, we performed admixture and genetic relatedness analysis of northern highbush (NHB, primarily V. corymbosum) southern (SHB, corymbosum introgressed with darrowii, virgatum, or tenellum) blueberry genotypes, progenies the BNJ16-5 cross (V. × darrowii). Using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), generated more than 334 million reads (75 bp). The GBS were aligned to cv. Draper...
Strawberry is an important fruit crop for its nutritional value and known to have high amounts of antioxidants. Antioxidants in strawberry can protect from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, other health issues. Therefore, the demand consumption has been on rise more than a decade. fruits are prone pests diseases partly due their higher water nutrient content low pH levels. Hence there need improved lines with better stress tolerance without compromising quality. In this study, we genotyped...
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are important regulators of gene transcription thus controlling multiple cellular processes. Despite its essential role in plants, HDA6 is yet to be validated common bean. In this study, we show that involved plant development and stress response. Differential expression was determined various tissues the seen upregulated with age (seedling < flowering maturity). Higher observed flowers pods than stem, leaf, root. Upregulation during cold implies prominent...
Blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) are highly vulnerable to changing climatic conditions, especially increasing temperatures. To gain insight into mechanisms underpinning the response heat stress, two blueberry species were subjected stress for 6 and 9 h at 45 °C, leaf samples used study morpho-physiological transcriptomic changes. As compared with Vaccinium corymbosum, darrowii exhibited thermal adaptation features such as small size, parallel orientation, waxy coating, increased stomatal surface...
Blueberries (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus) are perennial shrubs widely cultivated for their edible fruits. In this study, we used admixture and genetic relatedness analysis of northern highbush (NHB, V. corymbosum) southern (SHB, darrowii) blueberry genotypes F2 progenies the corymbosum &times; darrowii cross. Using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), generated ~3.34 billion reads (75 bp). The GBS were aligned to Vaccinium cv. Draper v1.0 reference genome sequence, ~2.8 million successfully...
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L pers.) is one of the most geographically adapted and utilized warm-season grasses. However, bermudagrass adaptation to Northern USA limited by freeze damage winterkill. Our study provides first large-scale analyses gene expression in regenerative crown tissues during cold acclimation. We compared patterns from highly tolerant "MSU" susceptible "Zebra" genotypes exposed near-freezing temperatures. Suppressive subtractive hybridization was used isolate putative...
Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and heat stress significantly affect rice crop growth production. Under uncertain climatic conditions, the concurrent multiple abiotic at different stages of production became a major challenge for agriculture. Hence, improving rice’s tolerance is essential to overcome unprecedented challenges under adverse environmental conditions. A significant breeding programs in involves traits their complexity. Multiple must be targeted improve uncover...
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play an important role in plant growth, development, and defense processes are one of the primary causes epigenetic modifications a genome. There was only study reported on legume crop, common bean, its interaction with fungal rust pathogen Uromyces appendiculatus prior to this project. We measured total active HDACs levels leaf tissues observed expression patterns for selected HDAC genes at 0, 12, 84 hours after inoculation mock inoculated plants. Colorimetric...

DNA markers have broad applications, including marker-assisted selection (MAS) for breeding new cultivars. Currently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) become a preferred choice of molecular geneticists and breeders. They offer many advantages, such as high abundance coverage in the genome, codominant inheritance, locus specificity, flexibility high-throughput genotyping/detection formats, they are relatively inexpensive. The availability reference genome sequences enables precise...
