Annually, more than 1.2 million scorpion stings and 3,000 deaths occur worldwide. Tityus serrulatus Lutz Mello, 1922 (Scorpiones, Buthidae) is the most medically relevant species in Brazil where it spreading rapidly causing over 90,000 cases of envenomation yearly. We monitored T. longevity ability to reproduce under conditions food and/or water deprivation. found that highly tolerant deprivation, with individuals enduring up 400 days without food. On other hand, access played a pivotal role...
Abstract Sugarcane yellow leaf (SCYL), caused by the sugarcane virus (SCYLV) is a major disease affecting sugarcane, leading sugar and energy crop. Despite damages SCYLV, genetic base of resistance to this remains largely unknown. Several methodologies have arisen identify molecular markers associated with SCYLV resistance, which are crucial for marker-assisted selection understanding response mechanisms virus. We investigated using dominant codominant genotypes interest breeding. A panel...
The protein kinase (PK) superfamily is one of the largest superfamilies in plants and core regulator cellular signaling. Despite this substantial importance, kinomes sugarcane sorghum have not been profiled. Here, we identified profiled complete polyploid Saccharum spontaneum (Ssp) Sorghum bicolor (Sbi), a close diploid relative. Sbi kinome was composed 1,210 PKs; for Ssp, 2,919 PKs when disregarding duplications allelic copies, these were related to 1,345 representative gene models. Ssp...
Abstract Poaceae, among the most abundant plant families, includes many economically important polyploid species, such as forage grasses and sugarcane ( Saccharum spp.). These species have elevated genomic complexities limited genetic resources, hindering application of marker-assisted selection strategies. Currently, promising approach for increasing gains in breeding is selection. However, due to polyploidy nature these more accurate models incorporating into schemes are needed. This study...
Abstract Sugarcane is an economically important crop, but its genomic complexity has hindered advances in molecular approaches for genetic breeding. New cultivars are released based on the identification of interesting traits, and sugarcane, brown rust resistance a desirable characteristic due to large economic impact disease. Although marker-assisted selection been successful, genes involved still unknown, associated regions vary among cultivars, thus restricting methodological...
Abstract The Cerrado, the largest Neotropical savanna, and Brazilian Atlantic Forest form large ecotonal areas where savanna forest habitats occupy adjacent patches with closely related species occurring side by side, providing opportunities for hybridization. Here, we investigated evolutionary divergence between ecotypes of widely distributed tree Plathymenia reticulata ( n = 233 individuals). Genetic structure analysis P . was congruent recognition two ecotypes, whose captured proportion...
Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is the main etiological agent of sugarcane disease, which affects and other grass crops. Despite extensive characterization quantitative trait loci controlling resistance to SCMV in maize, genetic basis this largely unexplored. Here, a genome-wide association study was performed machine learning coupled with feature selection used for genomic prediction diverse panel. Nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) explained up 29.9% observed phenotypic variance...
We report the complete mitochondrial genome of fish Salminus brasiliensis, popularly known as dourado. It is a circular, 17,721 bp long DNA molecule, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA 22 tRNA genes and non-coding Control Region 2128 bp, relatively large molecule when compared to other closely related fishes. All are on heavy strand, except for Nd6, all have ATG start codon, Cox1 gene which has GTG codon. Seven incomplete stop codons (Nd2, Cox2, Atp6, Nd4, Cytb T– –, Cox3 Nd3 TA–)....

This is the first complete mitochondrial genome of a Tityus species, although it most medically important genus in South America. serrulatus (Brazilian yellow scorpion) mtDNA revealed same gene arrangement three out four other mitogenomes published by now for family (Centruroides limpidus, Mesobuthus gibbosus, M. martensii and Buthus occitanus). However, presented many unique characteristics such as possession Cox1 gene, different from all protein-coding genes scorpion mtDNA, starts with an...
Machine learning (ML) has been a major driver in complex data analysis recent decades, allowing the mining of large databases. ML techniques allow creation computational models for prediction, pattern extraction and recognition, considering premise that computer acquires skills to perform given task without being explicitly programmed such purpose. Driven by efficiency these techniques, several studies have demonstrated their wide range applications high potential maize breeding. From...

Despite extensive characterization quantitative trait loci controlling resistance to SCMV in maize, genetic basis this largely unexplored sugarcane. Here, a genome-wide association study was performed machine learning coupled feature selection used for genomic prediction diverse panel accessions. This ultimately led...

Abstract Elucidating the intricacies of sugarcane genome is essential for breeding superior cultivars. This economically important crop originates from hybridizations highly polyploid Saccharum species. However, large size (10 Gb), high polyploidy, and aneuploidy pose significant challenges to complete sequencing, assembly, annotation. One successful strategy identifying candidate genes linked agronomic traits, particularly those associated with sugar accumulation, leverages synteny...
Abstract Sugarcane ( Saccharum spp.) holds significant economic importance in sugar and biofuel production. Despite extensive research, understanding highly quantitative traits, such as sucrose content, remains challenging due to the complex genomic landscape of crop. In this study, we conducted a multiomic investigation elucidate genetic architecture molecular mechanisms governing accumulation sugarcane. Using biparental cross (IACSP95-3018 × IACSP93-3046) genetically diverse collection...
