High oil and protein content make tetraploid peanut a leading food legume. Here we report high-quality genome sequence, comprising 2.54 Gb with 20 pseudomolecules 83,709 protein-coding gene models. We characterize functional groups implicated in seed size evolution, content, disease resistance symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The B subgenome has more genes general expression dominance, temporally associated long-terminal-repeat expansion the A that also raises questions about A-genome...
Abstract Background Cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important crop worldwide, valued for its edible oil and digestible protein. It has a very narrow genetic base that may well derive from relatively recent single polyploidization event. Accordingly molecular markers have low levels of polymorphism the number polymorphic available cultivated still limiting. Results Here, we report large set BAC-end sequences (BES), use them developing SSR (BES-SSR) markers, apply in linkage...
Abstract Background Date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera L.) is an important tree in the Middle East and North Africa due to nutritional value of its fruit. Molecular Breeding would accelerate genetic improvement fruit through marker assisted selection. However, lack molecular markers date restricts application breeding. Results In this study, we analyzed 28,889 EST sequences from genome database identify simple-sequence repeats (SSRs) develop gene-based markers, i.e. expressed sequence tag-SSRs...
Abstract An epidemic of hepatopancreatic necrosis disease ( HPND ) with a high mortality rate (40%–50%) recently occurred in the cultured Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis , which is very important economic crustacean species China. Histology revealed infection by microsporidian parasite within cytoplasm epithelial cells hepatopancreas. Numerous discrete inclusions infected and presumably free spores were also observed. By negative staining using electron microscopy, typical morphology...
Bacterial wilt (BW) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a serious, global, disease of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), but it especially destructive in China. Identification DNA markers linked to the resistance this will help breeders efficiently develop resistant cultivars through molecular breeding. A F2 population, from cross between disease-resistant and disease-susceptible cultivars, was used detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with cultivated peanut. Genome-wide SNPs were...
Abstract Background There are several reports describing thousands of SSR markers in the peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) genome. is a need to integrate various research DNA polymorphism into single platform. Further, because lack uniformity labeling these across publications, there some confusion on identities many markers. We describe below an effort develop central comprehensive database polymorphic peanut. Findings compiled 1,343 as detecting (14.5%) within total 9,274 Amongst all SSRs...
The FAD2 gene family is functionally responsible for the conversion of oleic acid to linoleic in oilseed plants. Multiple members FAD are known occur several species. In this study, six novel full-length cDNA sequences (named as AhFAD2-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, and -6) were identified peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), an analysis which revealed open reading frames 379, 383, 394, or 442 amino acids. Sequence comparisons showed that AhFAD2-1 AhFAD2-2 shared 76% identity, while AhFAD2-2, -4 displayed...
This study aimed to identify and select informative Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers that may be linked resistance important groundnut diseases such as Early Leaf Spot, Groundnut Rosette Disease, rust aflatoxin contamination. To this end, 799 were screened across 16 farmer preferred other cultivated African varieties are routinely used in improvement, some with known traits. The SSR amplified 817 loci graded on a scale of 1 4 according successful amplification ease scoring alleles. Of...
Abstract Miscanthus is increasingly gaining popularity as a bioenergy grass because of its extremely high biomass productivity. Many clones this were introduced into United States over the past century from East Asia where it originated, and planted for ornamental landscaping purposes. An understanding genetic diversity among these naturalized populations may help in efficient selection potential parents breeding program. Here, we report our study analyzing 228 DNA samples selected seven...
Abstract Cytoplasmic male sterility of Dian‐type 1 (CMS‐D1) was developed 30 years ago in Yunnan. A major gene conferring fertility restoration for the CMS‐D1 system detected by microsatellite markers advanced inbred lines consisting 196 maintainers and 62 restorers breeding programmes hybrid rice involving system. The mapped between two simple sequence repeat markers, OSR33 RM228, on chromosome 10, temporarily designated as Rf‐D1(t). genetic distances to were 3.4 5.0 cM, respectively. This...
Abstract In tritrophic ‘plants–herbivores–natural enemies’ systems, there are relatively few reports concerning the role(s) of kairomones in pupal parasitism. Chouioia cunea Yang (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), an endoparasitic chalcid wasp, parasitizes pupae fall webworm ( Hyphantria Drury). The role host-related was investigated using electroantennogram (EAG) and behavioral techniques. Chemicals from some host stages (pupae) by-products (frass), induced arrestment behavior female parasitoids,...
Cultivated clones of Hevea brasiliensis have a narrow genetic base.In order to broaden the base, it is first necessary investigate diversity wild populations.Expressed sequence tag-simple repeat (EST-SSR) markers were developed populations.Four hundred and thirty microsatellites identified 148 primers designed amplify loci.Twenty-nine primer pairs synthesized evaluated for their ability detect polymorphisms among 40 accessions H. brasiliensis.Twenty-one 29 loci polymorphic.The number alleles...
The genus Arachis (Fabaceae), which originated in South America, consists of 80 species. Based on morphological traits and cross-compatibility among the species, is divided into nine taxonomic sections. largest section including economically valuable cultivated peanut (A. hypogaea). Seven genic sequences were utilized to better understand phylogenetic relationships between species Arachis. Our study displayed four clades triseminata was genetically isolated from all other studied, it formed...
The troponin complex is composed of three subunits, Troponin C (the calcium sensor component) and T I (structural proteins). Tpn encoded by multiple genes in insects, while the proteins are single genes. binds to actin tropomyosin. We cloned sequenced (AY873787) gene from Bombyx mori that encodes 225 amino acids contains a conserved motif seen Drosophila virilis Anopheles gambiae. Bioinformatic analysis suggests its deduced sequence shares 81.3 78.7% homology with A. gambiae D. virili, respectively.
