Summary Colletotrichum graminicola causes maize anthracnose, an agronomically important disease with a worldwide distribution. We have identified fungalysin metalloprotease (Cgfl) role in virulence. Transcriptional profiling experiments and live cell imaging show that Cgfl is specifically expressed during the biotrophic stage of infection. To determine whether has virulence, we obtained null mutants lacking performed pathogenicity microscopy assays. The appressorium morphology normal, but...
Habanero pepper ( Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is a very important crop in Mexico and demand for it increasing national international markets. The habanero produced on the Yucatan Peninsula considered of superior quality to that grown rest world as result its shelf life pungency. Despite importance, little research has been done cultivation conditions may affect productivity fruit quality. effect N or K fertilization development pungency was evaluated. Plants under stress (control) had high...
<p><strong>Background. </strong>Chili pepper (<em>Capsicum</em> spp.) cultivation extends throughout Mexico, hosting a wide variety worldwide. However, crop health is reduced by the incidence of pathogenic microorganisms such as those <em>Fusarium</em> genus, which one main agents causing vascular wilt and mortality plant species. The use molecular tools allows for rapid reliable identification organisms at species level help characterize symptoms...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect grazing low deciduous forest (LDF) vegetation on diversity rumen microbiome in growing lambs and its relationship with volatile fatty acid (VFA) profiles. After a 35-day indoor acclimatization (stabilization period), were assigned two groups: housed (CG, n = 4) (EG, 4). had 14-day habituation period LDF (4 h/day) further 30 days when fodder intake observed. Ruminal samples collected at end stabilization, day 14 post-stabilization (14DPS),...
The cell wall is a protective and versatile structure distributed in all fungi. component responsible for its rigidity chitin, product of chitin synthase (Chsp) enzymes. There are seven classes genes (CHS) the amount type encoded fungal genomes varies considerably from one species to another. Previous Chsp sequence analyses focused on their study as individual units, regardless genomic context. identification blocks conserved between can provide important clues about interactions...
Abstract Albino plants display partial or complete loss of photosynthetic pigments and defective thylakoid membrane development, consequently impairing plastid function development. These distinctive attributes render albino excellent models for investigating chloroplast biogenesis. Despite their potential, limited exploration has been conducted regarding the molecular alterations underlying these phenotypes, extending beyond metabolism. In this study, we present a novel de novo...
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins play an essential role in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes plastid genomes. Although important advances have been made understanding functions these genes, there is little information available on chloroplastic PPR non-model plants and less without chloroplasts. In present study, a comprehensive multifactorial bioinformatic strategy was applied to search for putative foliar meristematic tissues green albino plantlets plant Agave...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> The study aimed to describe human papillomavirus (HPV) 58 genetic variability in E6 and E7 oncogenes from women southeast Mexico their phylogenetic relationships with the sequences other geographical regions. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> E6-E7 region was amplified by nested PCR, sequenced for identification of polymorphisms, trees construction, haplotype fixation tests. <b><i>Results:</i></b>...
Dynamics and distribution of K, Ca, Mg, P, Na were studied in leaves three cultivars habanero pepper ( Capsicum chinense Jacq.) at the time transplanting 8 14 weeks afterward. Most nutrients analyzed mobilized from younger to mature leaves, except for which occurred opposite direction, probably due its role synthesis nucleic acids, is more active young tissues. Information about mineral during first after transplantation could be used indicate plant nutritional status fertilizer requirements.
The present study aimed to determine the genetic variants of PAX9, MSX1, and AXIN2 in Mayan probands with non-syndromic dental agenesis (NSDA) from Yucatan, Mexico. We sequenced DNA specific exons genes by using Sanger method seven familial NSDA attending orthodontic clinics Merida, bioinformatically analyzed four genomes unaffected people ancestry for comparative purposes. Two had oligodontia (14 or 16 missing teeth) five hypodontia (1-2 teeth). found following variants: rs8670 MSX1;...
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a major pest of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) crop worldwide, mostly because resistance to insecticide that has been associated with endosymbionts. Although knowledge biotypes in B. complex and its endosymbionts critical for developing management strategies, limited information available on Culiacan Province Mexico. In total, 249 samples whiteflies were collected from plants four growers Valley analyze genetic identity PCR...
