Pangenomes are collections of annotated genome sequences multiple individuals a species
Pangenomes are collections of annotated genome sequences multiple individuals a species. The structural variants uncovered by these datasets major asset to genetic analysis in crop plants. Here, we report pangenome barley comprising long-read sequence assemblies 76 wild and domesticated genomes short-read data 1,315 genotypes. An expanded catalogue variation the includes structurally complex loci that have become hot spots gene copy number evolutionarily recent times. To demonstrate utility...
Despite the lack of biochemical information, all available in silico metabolic models Pseudomonas putida KT2440 consider NADP as only cofactor accepted by glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenases. Because Entner–Doudoroff pathway is main glycolytic route this bacterium, determining how much NADH and NADPH are produced reaction catalyzed these enzymes very important for correct interpretation flux distributions. To determine actual preference dehydrogenase encoded zwf‐1 gene (PputG6PDH‐1), major...
As complete and accurate genome sequences are becoming easier to obtain, more researchers wish get one or of them support their research endeavors. Reliable well-documented sequence assembly workflows find use in reference pangenome projects.
Sisal is a common name for different plant varieties in the genus Agave (especially sisalana) used high-quality natural leaf fiber extraction. Despite economic value of these plants, we still lack information about diversity viruses (virome) non-tequilana species from Agave. In this work, by associating RNA and DNA deep sequencing were able to identify 25 putative viral infecting A. sisalana, fourcroydes, hybrid 11648, including one strain Cowpea Mild Mottle Virus (CPMMV) 24 elements likely...
Aspergillus welwitschiae causes bole rot disease in sisal (Agave sisalana and related species) which affects the production of natural fibers Brazil, main worldwide producer fibers. This fungus is a saprotroph with broad host range. Previous research established A. as only causative agent field, but little known about evolution this species its strains. In work, we performed comparative genomics analysis 40 We show conflicting molecular identity species, one sisal-infecting strain sharing...
Sisal bole rot disease is the major phytosanitary problem of Agave plantations in Brazil. The caused by a cryptic species Aspergillus : A. welwitschiae . To date, only way to diagnose was observe external symptoms, visible when plant already compromised, or through isolation and sequencing pathogen, which requires cutting entire for tissue sampling. We developed new primer set based on unique gene region , can detect phytopathogenic strains PCR directly from sisal leaves. Using marker study...
Agave plants present drought resistance mechanisms, commercial applications, and potential for bioenergy production. Currently, species are used to produce alcoholic beverages sisal fibers in semi-arid regions, mainly Mexico Brazil. Because of their high productivities, low lignin content, shoot-to-root ratio, agaves show as biomass feedstock production marginal areas. Plants host many microorganisms understanding metabolism can inform biotechnological purposes. Here, we identify...
Trichoderma erinaceum is a filamentous fungus that was isolated from decaying sugarcane straw at Brazilian ethanol biorefinery. This shows potential as source of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs). In this study, we conducted comprehensive multiomics investigation T. to gain insights into its enzymatic capabilities and genetic makeup. Firstly, performed genome sequencing assembly, which resulted in the identification 10,942 genes genome. We then transcriptomics secretome analyses map...
ABSTRACT Agaves, which have been grown commercially for fiber or alcoholic beverages, are emerging as a candidate crop biochemicals and biofuels production in semiarid regions because of their high productivity low rainfall areas, drought tolerance, lignin content. In this work, we present the transcriptomic atlas Agave sisalana , fourcroydes agave hybrid 11648 ( A. amaniensis x angustifolia ) under prolonged field conditions. Leaf, stem, root tissues were sequenced, gene expression profiles...
Agave plants are well-known for their drought resilience and commercial applications. Among them, sisalana (sisal) is the species most used to produce hard fibers, it of great importance semiarid regions. Agaves also show potential as bioenergy feedstocks, they can accumulate large amounts biomass fermentable sugar. This study aimed reconstruct A. interactome, identify key genes modules involved in multiple plant tissues (root, stem, leaf) through RNA-Seq analysis. We integrated...
