Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a widely used model plant species for dissecting out the genomic bases of complex traits to thus provide an optimal platform modern “-omics” studies and genome-guided breeding. Genome-wide association (GWAS) have become preferred approach screening large diverse populations many traits. Here, we present GWAS analysis collection 115 landraces 11 vintage cultivars. A total 26 conventional descriptors, 40 obtained by digital phenotyping, fruit content six...
The conservation and characterization of landraces have key roles in the safeguarding valorization agrobiodiversity. Indeed, these plant genetic resources represent an important crop heritage with quality sensory characteristics that can be great use to consumers industry. In addition, preservation from risk progressive erosion, enhancement their potential contribute food security improve nutritional value food. Accordingly, this study aimed investigate a collection Sardinian tomato for...
Abstract The valorization of plant genetic resources and their direct use in local markets can make a significant contribution to the preservation agrobiodiversity, while also contributing sustainability rural communities. Indeed, are precious source genes, they represent an important crop heritage for quality sensory characteristics that required by both farmers consumers. However, efficient strategy agrobiodiversity conservation is strictly connected product marketability consumer...
ABSTRACT Comparative analyses of several plant pathogens have revealed that genome plasticity could be associated with different genomic architectures. In certain species, compartments are characterised by highly conserved regions contain mainly housekeeping genes and rearranged enriched for related to virulence adaptation. The compositional structural characteristics been significantly compartment membership in single but little information is available on the covariation these features...
Pseudogenes provide valuable insight into the evolutionary history of genomes which can be challenging to ascertain through examination functional loci alone. This study presents findings a comprehensive, two-step genome-wide survey for identification and characterization pseudogenes in Fusarium graminearum, primary causal agent wheat head blight. By analysing sequence homology between non-coding regions genome predicted protein sequences, we identified with putative paralogous sequences....
