Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-dwelling, insect-transmitted, gamma-proteobacterium that causes diseases in many plants, including grapevine, citrus, periwinkle, almond, oleander, and coffee. X. has an unusually broad host range, extensive geographical distribution throughout the American continent, induces diverse disease phenotypes. Previous molecular analyses indicated three distinct groups of isolates were expected to be genetically divergent. Here we report genome sequence (Temecula...
Abstract Background The basidiomycete fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa is the causal agent of Witches' Broom Disease (WBD) in cacao ( Theobroma ). It a hemibiotrophic pathogen that colonizes apoplast cacao's meristematic tissues as biotrophic pathogen, switching to saprotrophic lifestyle during later stages infection. M. , together with related species roreri are pathogens aerial parts plant, an uncommon characteristic order Agaricales. A genome survey (1.9× coverage) was analyzed evaluate...
Microsatellites or SSRs (single sequence repeats) have been used to construct and integrate genetic maps in crop species, including Phaseolus vulgaris. In the present study, 3 cDNA libraries generated by Bean EST project (http://lgm.esalq.usp.br/BEST/), comprising a unigene collection of 3126 sequences genomic microsatellite-enriched library, were analyzed for presence SSRs. A total 219 expressed tags (ESTs) found carry 240 (named EST-SSR), whereas 714 contained 471 genomic-SSR). subset 80...
Moniliophthora perniciosa is a hemibiotrophic fungus that causes witches' broom disease (WBD) in cacao. Marked dimorphism characterizes this fungus, showing monokaryotic or biotrophic phase symptoms and later dikaryotic saprotrophic phase. A combined strategy of DNA microarray, expressed sequence tag, real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses was employed to analyze differences between these two fungal stages vitro. In all, 1,131 putative genes were hybridized with...
Expansins refer to a family of closely related non-enzymatic proteins found in the plant cell wall that are involved loosening. In addition, expansins appear be different physiological and environmental responses plants such as leaf stem initiation growth, stomata opening closing, reproduction, ripening stress tolerance. Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is one main crops grown worldwide. Lignocellulosic biomass from sugarcane most promising raw materials for ethanol industry. However, efficient...
Abstract The negative effects of lignocellulose-derived inhibitors such as acetic acid and furaldehydes on microbial metabolism constitute a significant drawback to the usage biomass feedstocks for production fuels chemicals. yeast Pichia pastoris has shown great biotechnological potential producing heterologous proteins renewable Despite its relevance, performance P. in presence remains unclear. In this work, our results show first time dose-dependent response acid, (HMF furfural),...
ABSTRACT Xylitol is a five-carbon polyol of economic interest that can be produced by microbial xylose reduction from renewable resources. The current study sought to investigate the potential two yeast strains, isolated Brazilian Cerrado biome, in production xylitol as well genomic characteristics may impact this process. Xylose conversion capacity new isolates Spathaspora sp. JA1 and Meyerozyma caribbica JA9 was evaluated compared with control strains on sugarcane biomass hydrolysate....
Development of dedicated perennial crops has been indicated as a strategic action to meet the growing demand for biofuels. Breeding crops,however, is often time- and resource-consuming. As genomics offers platform from which learn more about relationships genes phenotypes,its operational use in context breeding programs through strategies such genomic selection promises foster development biodiesel production by increasing efficiency shortening length cycles.
Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the major crops worldwide and flooding stress affects production expansion cultivated areas. Oxygen essential for mitochondrial aerobic respiration to supply energy demand plant cells. Because oxygen diffusion in water 10,000 times lower than air, partial (hypoxic) or total (anoxic) deficiency important component flooding. Even when externally available, frequently occurs bulky, dense metabolically active tissues such as phloem, meristems, seeds, fruits. In...
Aiming at generating a comprehensive genomic database on Elaeis spp., our group is leading several R&D initiatives with guineensis (African oil palm) and oleifera (American palm), including the whole-genome sequencing of last. Genome size estimates currently available for this genus are controversial, as they indicate that American palm genome about half African interspecific hybrid bigger than both parental species genomes. We estimated three E. genotypes, five two hybrids genotypes. On...
Genome projects, both genomic DNA and ESTs (cDNA), generate a large amount of information, demanding time well-structured bioinformatics laboratory to manage these data. These genome projects use information available in heterogeneous formats from different sources. The heterogeneity this as well the absence world consensus pattern, make integration data difficult task. At same time, sub-tasks, such microarray analyses are very complex. This creates demand for development creative solutions...
