The Oleaceae family, encompassing key genera such as Fraxinus (ash trees), Olea (olives), Jasminum (jasmine), Syringa (lilac), and Forsythia, plays a crucial ecological economic role. Despite their importance, the evolutionary dynamics immune system adaptations of NLR (Nucleotide binding leucine-rich repeats) gene family remain largely unexplored. This study employs high-throughput comparative genomics to investigate evolution across family. genus is widely distributed both New Old Worlds,...
Crop wild relatives contain a greater variety of phenotypic and genotypic diversity compared to their domesticated counterparts. Trifolium crop species have limited genetic cope with biotic abiotic stresses due artificial selection for consumer preferences. Here, we investigated the distribution evolution nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) genes in genus objective identify reference NLR genes. We identified 412, 350, 306, 389 241 were from Trifolium. subterraneum, T....
Dalbergioid is a large group within the family Fabaceae that consists of diverse plant species distributed in distinct biogeographic realms. Here, we have performed comprehensive study to understand evolution nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeats (NLRs) gene Dalbergioids. The families this affected by common whole genome duplication occurred approximately 58 million years ago, followed diploidization often leads contraction. Our suggests since diploidization, NLRome all groups Dalbergioids...
Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) are widespread in plant genomes. They result from the random integration of sequences into host genomes by horizontal DNA transfer and have potential to alter gene expression. We performed a large-scale search for co-transcripts including caulimovirid 1,678 230 algal species characterized 50 45 distinct belonging lycophytes, ferns, gymnosperms angiosperms. found that insertion badnavirus EVEs along with Ty-1 copia mobile occurred late blight resistance ( R1 )...
Vigna is a unique genus that consist of multiple crop species are domesticated in parallel fashion between 7–10 thousand years ago. Here we studied the evolution nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) genes across five Vigna. In total identified 286, 350, 234, 250, 108 and 161 NLR were from Phaseolous vulgaris, unguiculata, mungo, radiata, angularis umbellata respectively. Comprehensive phylogenetic clusterization analysis reveals presence seven subgroups Coiled coil like...
Abstract Whitefly transmitted begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae ) are the major reason for significant yield losses of dicotyledonous crops in tropics and subtropics. Okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus is one important vegetable crops, leaf curl disease caused by geminiviruses most limiting factor its production Pakistan. Here, we report a new species okra‐infecting begomovirus south‐eastern region Pakistan name enation virus OELC uV) complex proposed. This okra uD) found to be associated with...
Abstract Arachis hypogaea is an allotetraploid crop widely grown in the world. Wild relatives of genus are rich source genetic diversity and high levels resistance to combat pathogens climate change. The accurate identification characterization plant gene, nucleotide binding site leucine repeat receptor (NLRs) substantially contribute repertoire resistances improve production. In current study, we have studied evolution NLR genes performed their comparative genomics among four diploids ( A....
Plant, animal and protist genomes often contain endogenous viral elements (EVEs), which correspond to partial sometimes entire that have been captured in the genome of their host organism through a variety integration mechanisms. While number sequenced eukaryotic is rapidly increasing, annotation characterization EVEs remains largely overlooked. derive from members family Caulimoviridae are widespread across tracheophyte plants, they occur very high copy numbers. However, existing programs...
Whole genome duplication plays a significant role in plant evolution by providing raw materials that can be modified natural or artificial selection. Nucleotide binding site leucine rich repeat receptor (NLRs) like other gene families are clusters of genes created and their size reflects the number duplicated genes. NLR encode immune receptors facilitate identification effector compounds produced pathogen as part triggered immunity (ETI). The accurate characterization substantially...
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) refers to a subtype of carcinoma where is localized in the inner lining bladder. NMIBC consider as one most costly malignancy and requires significant surgical therapeutic measure. However, recurrence progression tumor common treated patients. Here we presented an integrated OMICs approach for identification inhibition specific genes. We utilized case study three group patients were compared: 1) Relapsed tumors 2) recurrent 3) progression. Common...
Within the family Fabaceae , genus Glycine is composed of two subgenera annuals (2n=40) and perennials. This life strategy transition may have differentially affected evolution various gene families. Its cultivated species G. max has high level susceptibility to major pathogens including viruses, bacteria fungi. Understanding nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat ( NLR ) genes in soybean paramount importance due their central role plant immunity potential improving disease resistance...
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is one of the most common type cancer. Here, we have utilized an integrated transcriptomic-computational approach to identify alternate treatments NMIBC. In this study, performed comprehensive comparative analysis between three groups 36 patients with non-relapsed (NR), recurrence and progressive symptoms. Differentially expressed genes involved in pathways associated NMIBC were identified.
Whole genome duplication plays a significant role in plant evolution by providing raw materials that can be modified natural or artificial selection. Nucleotide binding site leucine rich repeat receptor (NLRs) like other gene families are clusters of genes created and their size reflects the number duplicated genes.
