The genome of tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) is being sequenced by an international consortium 10 countries (Korea, China, the United Kingdom, India, Netherlands, France, Japan, Spain, Italy, and States) as part larger “International Solanaceae Genome Project (SOL): Systems Approach to Diversity Adaptation” initiative. sequencing project uses ordered bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) approach generate a high‐quality euchromatic sequence for use reference euasterids. Sequence deposited...
Leaf rust is one of the most important diseases wheat and caused by Puccinia triticina, a highly variable pathogen prevalent worldwide. Decoding genome this will help in unraveling molecular basis its evolution identification genes responsible for various biological functions. We generated high quality draft sequences (approximately 100- 106 Mb) two races P. triticina; virulent Race77 old, avirulent Race106. The genomes 77 had 33X 27X coverage, respectively. predicted 27678 26384 genes, with...
The occurrence of various stresses, as the outcome global climate change, results in yield losses crop plants. Prospecting genes stress tolerant plant species may help to protect and improve their agronomic performance. Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is a valuable source superior alleles for tolerance. In this study, we isolated novel endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane tethered bZIP transcription factor from finger millet, EcbZIP17. Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing gene showed...
Magnaporthe oryzae infection causes rice blast, a destructive disease that is responsible for considerable decrease in yield. Development of resistant varieties via introgressing resistance genes with marker-assisted breeding can eliminate pesticide use and minimize crop losses. Here, near-isogenic line (NIL) Pusa Basmati-1(PB1) carrying broad spectrum blast gene Pi9 was used to investigate Pi9-mediated response. Infected uninfected NIL susceptible control were subjected RNA-Seq. With the...
Clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.), also known as guar, belongs to the family Leguminosae, and is an annual herbaceous legume. Guar main source of galactomannan for gas mining industries. In present study, draft chloroplast genome clusterbean was generated compared some previously reported legume genomes. The 152,530 bp in length, with a quadripartite structure consisting large single copy (LSC) small (SSC) 83,025 17,879 size, respectively, pair inverted repeats (IRs) 25,790 size....
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an important vegetable crop widely grown for diverse culinary and nutraceutical properties. Being a shallow-rooted plant, it prone to drought. In the present study, transcriptome sequencing of drought-tolerant (1656) drought-sensitive (1627) onion genotypes was performed elucidate molecular basis differential response drought stress. A total 123206 139252 transcripts (average transcript length: 690 bases) were generated after assembly 1656 1627, respectively....
Plant extracts are one of the best possible sources bioactive molecules, and being used globally as an antioxidants natural antimicrobial compounds. In current study, Schefflera vinosa leaves extract was prepared through Soxhlet extraction procedure using methanol chloroform solvents. The investigated for total antioxidant, phenolic flavonoid contents, free radical scavenging activities. activities were evaluated 2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH),...
To combat drought stress in rice, a major threat to global food security, three quantitative trait loci for 'yield under stress' (qDTYs) were successfully exploited the last decade. However, their molecular basis still remains unknown. understand role of secondary regulation by miRNA response and relation, if any, with qDTYs, dynamics was studied at booting stage two tolerant (Sahbaghi Dhan Vandana) one sensitive (IR 20) cultivars. In total, 53 known 40 novel differentially expressed (DE)...
Potato is a globally significant crop, crucial for food security and nutrition. Assessing vital nutritional traits pivotal enhancing value. However, traditional wet lab methods the screening of large germplasms are time- resource-intensive. To address this challenge, we used near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) rapid trait estimation in diverse potato germplasms. It employs molecular absorption principles that use sections electromagnetic spectrum precise determination biochemical...
Rice blast disease caused by a fungus Magnaporthae oryzae is one of the most important biotic factors that severely damage rice crop.Several molecular approaches are now being applied to tackle this issue in rice.It interest study long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) control disease.lncRNA, transcript does not encode protein, known play an role gene regulation various biological processes.Here we describe computational pipeline identify lncRNA from resistant line.The number found line was 1429, 1927...
Rice blast is a global threat to food security with up 50% yield losses. Panicle more severe form of rice and the response plant leaf panicle distinct in different genotypes. To understand specific blast, transcriptome analysis resistant cultivar Tetep, susceptible HP2216 was carried out using RNA-Seq approach after 48, 72 96 h infection Magnaporthe oryzae along mock inoculation. Transcriptome data infected tissues revealed that 3553 genes differentially expressed 2491 which must be...
Abstract Cluster bean ( Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub 2n = 14, is commonly known as Guar. Apart from being a vegetable crop, it an abundant source of natural hetero-polysaccharide called guar gum or galactomannan. Here, we are reporting chromosome-scale reference genome assembly popular cluster cultivar RGC-936, by combining sequencing data Illumina, 10X Genomics, Oxford Nanopore technologies. An initial 1580 scaffolds with N50 value 7.12 Mb was generated and these were anchored to high...
Clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub), is an important industrial, vegetable and forage crop. This crop owes its commercial importance to the presence of guar gum (galactomannans) in endosperm which used as a lubricant range industries. Despite relevance agriculture industry, genomic resources available this are limited. Therefore, present study was undertaken generate RNA-Seq based transcriptome from leaf, shoot, flower tissues. A total 145 million high quality Illumina reads were...
Genome-wide microarray has enabled development of robust databases for functional genomics studies in rice. However, such do not directly cater to the needs breeders. Here, we have attempted develop a web interface which combines information from genomic across different genetic backgrounds with DNA markers so that they can be readily deployed crop improvement. In current version database, included drought and salinity stress since these two are major abiotic stresses rice.RiceMetaSys,...
