We report a draft sequence for the genome of domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori), covering 90.9% all known genes. Our estimated gene count is 18,510, which exceeds 13,379 genes reported Drosophila melanogaster. Comparative analyses to fruitfly, mosquito, spider, and butterfly reveal both similarities differences in content.
We report improved whole-genome shotgun sequences for the genomes of indica and japonica rice, both with multimegabase contiguity, or almost 1,000-fold improvement over drafts 2002. Tested against a nonredundant collection 19,079 full-length cDNAs, 97.7% genes are aligned, without fragmentation, to mapped super-scaffolds one other genome. introduce gene identification procedure plants that does not rely on similarity known remove erroneous predictions resulting from transposable elements....
Abstract Background Species in the ascomycete fungal genus Cordyceps have been proposed to be teleomorphs of Metarhizium species. The latter widely used as insect biocontrol agents. species are highly prized for use traditional Chinese medicines, but genes responsible biosynthesis bioactive components, pathogenicity and control sexuality fruiting not determined. Results Here, we report genome sequence type militaris . Phylogenomic analysis suggests that different / genera evolved into...
The Taming of the Silkworm Silkworms, Bombyx mori , represent one few domesticated insects, having been over 10,000 years ago. Xia et al. (p. 433 published online 27 August) sequenced 29 domestic and 11 wild silkworm lines identified genes that were most likely to be selected during domestication. These those enhance silk production, reproduction, growth. Furthermore, silkworms probably only once from a large progenitor population, rather than on multiple occasions, as has observed for other animals.
Abstract Although allelic diversity of genes has been reported to play important roles in different physiological processes, information on defense-responsive host-pathogen interactions is limited. Here, we report that a pair genes, OsWRKY45-1 and OsWRKY45-2, which encode proteins with 10-amino acid difference, opposite rice (Oryza sativa) resistance against bacterial pathogens. Bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv (Xoo), streak oryzicola (Xoc), fungal blast Magnaporthe grisea...
Approximately one third of the identified 34 rice major disease resistance (R) genes conferring race-specific to different strains Xanthomonas oryzae pv. (Xoo), which causes bacterial blight disease, are recessive genes. However, only two have been characterized thus far. Here we report characterization another gene, xa25, for Xoo resistance. The localized in centromeric region chromosome 12, mediates strain PXO339 at both seedling and adult stages by inhibiting growth. It encodes a protein...
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are signalling modules that transduce extracellular to a range of cellular responses. Plant MAPK have been implicated in development and stress response. In this study, we isolated novel group C MAPKK gene, ZmMKK4, from maize. Northern blotting analysis revealed the ZmMKK4 transcript expression was up-regulated by cold, high salt exogenous H(2)O(2,) but down-regulated abscisic acid (ABA). Over-expression Arabidopsis conferred tolerance cold...
Volvariella volvacea, the edible straw mushroom, is a highly nutritious food source that widely cultivated on commercial scale in many parts of Asia using agricultural wastes (rice straw, cotton wastes) as growth substrates. However, developments V. volvacea cultivation have been limited due to low biological efficiency (i.e. conversion substrate mushroom fruit bodies), sensitivity temperatures, and an unclear sexuality pattern has restricted breeding improved strains. We now sequenced...
Lentinula edodes, one of the most popular, edible mushroom species with a high content proteins and polysaccharides as well unique aroma, is widely cultivated in many Asian countries, especially China, Japan Korea. As white rot fungus lignocellulose degradation ability, L. edodes has potential for application utilization agriculture straw resources. Here, we report its 41.8-Mb genome, encoding 14,889 predicted genes. Through phylogenetic analysis model fungi, evolutionary divergence time...
Francisella tularensis is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere, where it associated with disease of tularaemia in animals and humans. The isolation identification reported a novicida-like subspecies F. from foot wound sustained brackish water Territory Australia.
The inhalation of Francisella tularensis biovar A causes pneumonic tularemia associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in humans. Exposure to F. usually occurs by accident, but there is increasing awareness that may be deliberately released an act bioterrorism or war. development a vaccine against has been limited lack information regarding the mechanisms required protect this disease. Vaccine models for inbred mice would facilitate investigations protective significantly enhance...
In order to clarify the relationship between chill-induced disturbance in photosynthetic, respiratory electron transport and metabolism of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leaf gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence quenching, respiration, activities superoxide dismutase (SOD) ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were investigated chloroplasts mitochondria cucumber (Cucumis sativus) leaves subjected a chill (8 °C) for 4 d. Chilling decreased net photosynthetic rate (P N) quantum efficiency photosystem 2...
