Advances in genome sequencing and assembly technologies are generating many high-quality sequences, but assemblies of large, repeat-rich polyploid genomes, such as that bread wheat, remain fragmented incomplete. We have generated a new wheat whole-genome shotgun sequence using combination optimized data types an algorithm designed to deal with large complex genomes. The represents >78% the scaffold N50 88.8 kb has high fidelity input data. Our annotation combines strand-specific Illumina...
Necrotrophic pathogens live and feed on dying tissue, but their interactions with plants are not well understood compared to biotrophic pathogens. The wheat Snn1 gene confers susceptibility strains of the necrotrophic pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum that produce SnTox1 protein. We report positional cloning Snn1, a member wall-associated kinase class receptors, which known drive pathways for resistance. Recognition by activates programmed cell death, allows this necrotroph gain nutrients...
The wheat genome sequence is an essential tool for advanced genomic research and improvements. generation of a high-quality challenging due to its complex 17 Gb polyploid genome. To overcome these difficulties, sequencing through the construction BAC-based physical maps individual chromosomes employed by genomics community. Here, we present first comprehensive map chromosome 1BS, illustrate unique gene space organization evolution. Fingerprinted BAC clones were assembled into 57 long...
Chironomids (Diptera; Chironomidae) are the most abundant insects in freshwater aquatic habitats. Females of genus Chironomus lay egg masses containing hundreds eggs embedded a gelatinous matrix. A bacterial strain, designated T3944D T , was isolated from chironomid mass sampled waste-stabilization pond northern Israel and found to be Gram-positive, motile by peritrichous flagella, endospore-forming, halotolerant facultatively alkaliphilic. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed...
Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, is a natural inhabitant aquatic ecosystem. Chironomid (nonbiting midges) egg masses were recently found to harbour V. cholerae non-O1 and non-O139, providing reservoir for cholera bacterium. populations presence in chironomid monitored. All isolates able degrade masses. The following virulence associated genes detected bacterial isolates: hapA (100%), toxR hlyA (72%) ompU (28%). their followed phenological succession interaction host-pathogen...
