Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential barcodes for Fungi , the second largest kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 used animal barcode was excluded marker, because it is difficult to amplify in fungi, often includes large introns, and can be insufficiently variable. Three subunits from nuclear ribosomal RNA cistron compared together with three representative protein-coding genes (largest...
Aspergillus comprises a diverse group of species based on morphological, physiological and phylogenetic characters, which significantly impact biotechnology, food production, indoor environments human health. was traditionally associated with nine teleomorph genera, but data suggest that together genera such as Polypaecilum, Phialosimplex, Dichotomomyces Cristaspora, forms monophyletic clade closely related to Penicillium. Changes in the International Code Nomenclature for algae, fungi...
Penicillium is a diverse genus occurring worldwide and its species play important roles as decomposers of organic materials cause destructive rots in the food industry where they produce wide range mycotoxins. Other are considered enzyme factories or common indoor air allergens. Although DNA sequences essential for robust identification species, there currently no comprehensive, verified reference database genus. To coincide with move to one fungus name International Code Nomenclature algae,...
DNA phylogenetic comparisons have shown that morphology-based species recognition often underestimates fungal diversity. Therefore, the need for accurate sequence data, tied to both correct taxonomic names and clearly annotated specimen has never been greater. Furthermore, growing number of molecular ecology microbiome projects using high-throughput sequencing require fast effective methods en masse assignments. In this article, we focus on selecting re-annotating a set marker reference...
Paecilomyces lilacinus was described more than a century ago and is commonly occurring fungus in soil. However, the last decade this has been increasingly found as causal agent of infections man other vertebrates. Most cases disease are from patients with compromised immune systems or intraocular lens implants. In study, we compared clinical isolates strains isolated soil, insects nematodes using 18S rRNA gene, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) partial translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF)...
The taxonomy of Aspergillus section Fumigati with its teleomorph genus Neosartorya is revised. species concept based on phenotypic (morphology and extrolite profiles) molecular (beta-tubulin calmodulin gene sequences) characters in a polyphasic approach. Four new taxa are proposed: N. australensis ferenczii, papuaensis warcupii. All newly described accepted illustrated. consists 33 taxa: 10 strictly anamorphic 23 species. other previously were not available for this monograph, consequently...
Aspergilli known as black- and white-koji molds which are used for awamori, shochu, makgeolli other food beverage fermentations, reported in the literature A. luchuensis, kawachii, or acidus. In order to elucidate taxonomic position of these species, available ex-type cultures were compared based on morphology molecular characters. kawachii acidus showed same banding patterns RAPD, three species had rDNA-ITS, β-tubulin calmodulin sequences differed from those closely related niger...
The classification of the genus Aspergillus has been studied by many taxonomists. most important monograph on which taxonomies are derived from is strictly based phenotypical characters. Later revisions certain sections have predominantly nomenclatural changes and primarily used morphological criteria. Many new taxa were added particularly in genera Emericella Neosartorya. Identification common often species remains problematic due to variability phenotypic This caused errors literature,...
Glucosinolates play important roles in plant defense against herbivores and microbes, as well human nutrition. Some glucosinolate‐derived isothiocyanate nitrile compounds have been clinically proven for their anticarcinogenic activity. To better understand glucosinolate biosynthesis Brassica rapa , we conducted a comparative genomics study with Arabidopsis thaliana identified total 56 putative biosynthetic regulator genes. This established high colinearity the pathway between B. ....
Summary Calmodulins (CaMs) regulate numerous Ca 2+ ‐mediated cellular processes in plants by interacting with their respective downstream effectors. Due to the limited number of CaMs, other calcium sensors modulate regulation that are not managed CaMs. Of 50 CaM‐like ( CML ) proteins identified Arabidopsis thaliana , we characterized function 10. Yeast two‐hybrid screening revealed phosphomannomutase PMM as a putative interaction partner In vitro and vivo assays were performed analyze...
Aspergillus is one of the economically most important fungal genera. Recently, ICN adopted single name nomenclature which has forced mycologists to choose for fungi (e.g. , Fusarium Penicillium etc.). Previously two proposals in were presented: attributes “ ” clades comprising seven different teleomorphic names, by supporting monophyly this genus; other proposes that a non-monophyletic genus, preserving only species belonging subgenus Circumdati and maintaining sexual names clades. The aim...
Autophagy is a bulky catabolic process that responds to nutrient homeostasis and extracellular stress signals conserved mechanism in all eukaryotes. When autophagy induced, cellular components are sequestered within an autophagosome finally degraded by subsequent fusion with lysosome. During this process, the ATG12-ATG5 conjugate requires 2 different binding partners, ATG16L1 for elongation TECPR1 lysosomal fusion. In our current study, we describe crystal structures of human ATG5 complex...
Heat stress is one of the major abiotic factors that limit growth, development, and productivity plants. Both glycine betaine (GB) β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) have received considerable attention due to their roles in stimulating tolerance diverse stresses. In order understand how GB BABA biostimulants alleviate heat a cool-weather Chinese cabbage (
Abstract Filamentous fungal mycoproteins have gained increasing attention as sustainable alternatives to animal and plant‐based proteins. This comprehensive review summarizes the nutritional characteristics, toxicological aspects, health‐promoting effects of mycoproteins, focusing on those derived from filamentous fungi, notably Fusarium venenatum . Mycoproteins are characterized by their high protein content, they a superior essential amino acid profile compared soybeans indicating...
Abstract The tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv Ailsa Craig) polygalacturonase genes TAPG1(LYCes;Pga1;2) and TAPG4(LYCes;Pga1;5) are abundantly expressed in both abscission zones the pistils of mature flowers. To further investigate spatial temporal expression patterns for these genes, TAPG gene promoters were ligated to β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter transformed into tomato. GUS with constructs was similar entirely consistent native transcripts. activity observed weakening leaf petiole,...
Abstract Different plant species produce a variety of terpenoid indole alkaloids, which are interest as defensive secondary metabolites and valuable pharmaceuticals. Although significant progress has been made, the mechanisms regulating levels this important class compounds require continued elucidation. Previous precursor feeding studies have indicated that alkaloid accumulation can be improved during exponential growth phase hairy root cultures through enhanced tryptophan availability. To...
