Root crops like sugarbeet and sweetpotato possess an aggregated value that sets them apart from other crops. This includes not only their economic importance but also high nutritional content, which can enhance global food security. However, the of these is significantly compromised by postharvest diseases, presenting major socio-economic challenges. Postharvest caused various fungal bacterial pathogens, affect during field growth, harvest, handling, storage. Addressing challenges requires...
Botrytis cinerea is a destructive plant pathogen that infects wide range of economically important crops. Limiting infection during production and after harvest largely dependent on fungicide applications; fungicide-resistant isolates B. have been recovered from various hosts. Resistance to fludioxonil has associated with overexpression transporter genes ( BcatrB mfsM2) mutations histidine kinase proteins Bos1, Bchhk2, Bchhk17). To identify possible mechanisms resistance, the genomic...
Building de novo genome assemblies for complex genomes is possible thanks to long-read DNA sequencing technologies. However, maximizing the quality of based on long reads a challenging task that requires development specialized data analysis techniques. We present new algorithms assembling from haploid and diploid organisms. The assembly algorithm builds an undirected graph with two vertices each read minimizers selected by hash function derived k-mer distribution. Statistics collected...
Bactris gasipaes var. (Arecaceae, Palmae) is an economically and socially important plant species for populations across tropical South Central America. It has been domesticated from its wild variety, B. chichagui, since pre-Columbian times. In this study, we sequenced the plastome of cultivated Kunth compared it with published variety. The chloroplast sequence obtained was 156,580 bp. conserved to type 99.8% nucleotide identity. We did, however, identify multiple Single Nucleotide Variants...
