Coffee, tea, and chocolate converge Caffeine has evolved multiple times among plant species, but no one knows whether these events involved similar genes. Denoeud et al. sequenced the Coffea canephora (coffee) genome identified a conserved gene order (see Perspective by Zamir). Although this species underwent fewer duplications than related relevant caffeine genes experienced tandem that expanded their numbers within species. Scientists have seen independent expansions in distantly of tea...
Chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) are powerful QTL mapping populations that have been used to elucidate the molecular basis of interesting traits wild species. Cultivated peanut is an allotetraploid with limited genetic diversity. Capturing diversity from relatives important objective in many breeding programs. In this study, we a marker-assisted backcrossing strategy produce population 122 CSSLs cross between synthetic (A. ipaënsis×A. duranensis)4x and cultivated Fleur11...
Drought is a widespread limiting factor in coffee plants. It affects plant development, fruit production, bean development and consequently beverage quality. Genetic diversity for drought tolerance exists within the genus. However, molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation of plants to are largely unknown. In this study, we compared responses two commercial cultivars (IAPAR59, drought-tolerant Rubi, drought-susceptible) Coffea arabica grown field under control (irrigation) conditions using...
The present study shows transferability of microsatellite markers developed in the two cultivated coffee species ( Coffea arabica L. and C. canephora Pierre ex Froehn.) to 15 representing previously identified main groups genus Coffea. Evaluation genetic diversity available resources within development molecular transferable across are important steps for breeding species. We worked on with 60 using different strategies (SSR-enriched libraries, BAC gene sequences). focused our analysis 4...
Base composition is highly variable among and within plant genomes, especially at third codon positions, ranging from GC-poor homogeneous species to GC-rich heterogeneous ones (particularly Monocots). Consequently, synonymous usage biased in most species, even when base relatively homogeneous. The causes of these variations are still under debate, with three main forces being possibly involved: mutational bias, selection GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC). So far, both gBGC have been detected...
Plant breeding efficiency is crucial to develop varieties able cope with climate change and support food feed value chains. Genomic prediction (GP) has been a major step in increasing this now routinely used programs. Recently, phenomic (PP) gained attention as promising complementary approach GP, further the programs efficiency. Factors impacting predictive ability (PA) of PP have studied on many species but are not fully clarified. In context, we impacts spectra pre-processing, methods,...
Abstract Background The study of genetic variations is the basis many research domains in biology. From genome structure to population dynamics, applications involve use variants. advent next-generation sequencing technologies led such a flood data that daily work scientists often more focused on management than analysis. This mass genotyping poses several computational challenges terms storage, search, sharing, analysis, and visualization. While existing tools try solve these challenges,...
A reciprocal recurrent selection program has been under way for the Coffea canephora coffee tree approximately thirty years in Ivory Coast. Association genetics would help to speed up this by more rapidly selecting zones of interest genome. However, prior any such studies, linkage disequilibrium (LD) needs be assessed between markers on These data are essential guiding association studies. This article describes first results an LD assessment a species. Guinean and Congolese breeding...
Using next-generation sequencing technology, new microsatellite loci were characterized in Artocarpus altilis (Moraceae) and two congeners to increase the number of available markers for genotyping breadfruit cultivars.A total 47,607 simple sequence repeat obtained by a library genomic DNA with an Illumina MiSeq system. Among them, 50 single-locus selected assessed using 41 samples (39 A. altilis, one camansi, heterophyllus). All polymorphic 44 21 heterophyllus. The alleles per locus ranged...
Genetic resources of Coffea canephora have been introduced in several tropical countries with potential for crop development. In Ecuador, the species has cultivated since mid-20th century. However, little is known about diversity and genetic structure germplasm. This paper provides an overview phenotypic C. Ecuador some proposals implementing a breeding program. Twelve SSR markers were used to analyze 1491 plants grown different living collections compared 29 genotypes representing main...
The chloroplast (cp) is an essential organelle in higher plants. genes of the plastome are well suited to infer phylogenetic relationships among taxa. In this study, we report assembly cp genome Artocarpus altilis and its phylogeny species from Moraceae family. A. was 160,822 base pair (bp) length, comprising one large single-copy region 88,692 bp, small 19,290 a inverted repeat regions (IRs) 26,420 bp. A total 113 different were predicted, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA four...
