Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) of the genus Meloidogyne pose most significant threats to global food security due their destructive nature as plant-parasitic nematodes. Although attention has been devoted investigating gene transcription profiling RKNs, our understanding translational landscape RKNs remains limited. In this study, we elucidated incognita through integration translatome, transcriptome and quantitative proteome analyses. Our findings revealed numerous previously unannotated...
Abstract The formation and consequences of polyploidization in animals with clonal reproduction remain largely unknown. Clade I root-knot nematodes (RKNs), characterized by parthenogenesis allopolyploidy, show a widespread geographical distribution extensive agricultural destruction. Here, we generated 4 unzipped polyploid RKN genomes identified putative novel alternative telomeric element. Then reconstructed chromosome-level assemblies resolved their genome structures as AAB for triploid...
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been used as the most successful microbial pesticide for decades. Its toxin genes are development of genetically modified crops against pests. We previously developed a web-based insecticidal gene mining tool BtToxin_scanner. It frequently by many researchers worldwide. However, it can only handle genome one online. To facilitate efficiently from large-scale sequence data, we re-designed this with new workflow and novel bacterial pesticidal protein database....
The order Caryophanales , belonging to class Bacilli is globally distributed in various ecosystems. Currently, this comprised 12 families that show vast phenotypic, ecological and genotypic variation. classification of at the family level currently mainly based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis presence shared phenotypic characteristics, resulting noticeable anomalies. Our present study revises taxonomy 1080 available high-quality genome sequences type strains. evaluated parameters...
The continuous evolution and spread of virulent forms the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) driven by environment anthropogenic intervention is a serious threat to production worldwide, including China. Especially in China, implemented measures control SCN are insufficient for sustainable agricultural development yet. We summarized our knowledge about spatial distribution China virulence diversity main growing areas. To reveal genetic relatedness populations, we re-sequenced 53 genomes from...
Summary Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) which is a spore-forming gram-positive bacterium, has been used as the most successful microbial pesticide for decades. Its toxin genes ( cry ) have successfully development of GM crops against pests. We previously developed web-based insecticidal gene mining tool BtToxin_scanner, proved to be important method from Bt genome sequences. To facilitate efficiently major and novel virulence factors large-scale genomic data, we re-design this with new workflow....
Abstract Plants produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon infection, which typically trigger defence mechanisms and impede pathogen proliferation. Root‐knot nematodes (RKNs, Meloidogyne spp.) represent highly detrimental pathogens capable of parasitizing a broad spectrum crops, resulting in substantial annual agricultural losses. The involvement ROS RKN parasitism is well acknowledged. In this study, we identified novel effector from incognita , named CATLe, that contains conserved catalase...
