Phytophthora, with 203 species, is a genus of high importance in agriculture worldwide. Here, we present the online resource "IDphy", developed to facilitate correct identification species Phytophthora using type specimens from original descriptions wherever possible. IDphy emphasizes economic impact and regulatory concern for United States. presents an interactive Lucid key tabular 161 culturable described as May 2018, including 141 ex-types 20 well-authenticated specimens. contains...
Fusarium virguliforme causes sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybean, a disease serious concern throughout most the soybean producing regions world. Despite global importance, little is known about pathogenesis mechanisms F. virguliforme. Thus, we applied Next-Generation DNA Sequencing to reveal draft genome sequence and identified putative pathogenicity genes facilitate discovering used by pathogen cause this disease.We have generated conducting whole-genome shotgun sequencing on 454 GS-FLX...
In this work, we report a simple and facile one-pot chemical approach of the decoration uniform zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on reduced graphene (GO) study its antimicrobial activity. The nanocomposite was fully characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). TEM SEM images clearly indicated presence Graphene sheets decorated with uniformly sized nanoparticles. Further, as an application...
Soil salinity affects growth and yield of crop plants. Plants respond to by physiological biochemical adjustments through a coordinated regulation expression cascade genes. Recently, halophytes have attracted attention the biologists understand their salt adaptation mechanisms. Spartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) is Louisiana native monocot halophyte that can withstand up double strength sea water. To dissect molecular mechanisms underlying its adaptation, leaf root transcriptome S. was...
Amaranthus palmeri (Amaranthaceae) is a noxious weed in several agroecosystems and some cases seriously threatens the sustainability of crop production North America. Glyphosate-resistant species are widespread, prompting use alternatives to glyphosate such as glufosinate, conjunction with glufosinate-resistant cultivars, help control glyphosate-resistant weeds. An experiment was conducted analyze transcriptome A. plants that survived exposure 0.55 kg ha-1 glufosinate. Since there no record...
We have fabricated PMMA/SiO2 nanocomposite flexible thin films of 60 μm thicknesses by using solution casting method in the presence transverse electric field. In this paper, we investigated effect SiO2 nanoparticle (NP) loading on optical and mechanical properties composite film. The SEM images show that a smoother uniform morphology. transmittance peak near 1103 cm−1 FT-IR spectrum confirms NPs It is observed bandgap decreases with an increase NP concentration. Dynamic analysis shows...
Abstract Giardia duodenalis , a major cause of waterborne infection, infects wide range mammalian hosts and is subdivided into eight genetically well-defined assemblages named A through H. However, fragmented genomes lack comparative analysis within between the render unclear molecular mechanisms controlling host specificity differential disease outcomes. To address this, we generated near-complete de novo genome AI assemblage using Oxford Nanopore platform by sequencing Be-2 genome. We...
Abstract Apicomplexan parasites are single-celled obligate intracellular eukaryotic organisms that cause significant animal and human disease pose a substantial health socioeconomic burden worldwide. Eimeria acervulina is one such parasite of chickens, representative several species causing coccidiosis disease. A complete assembly the E. genome may help identify markers drug-resistance design recombinant vaccines. We sequenced APU1 strain using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Illumina technology...
Fusarium virguliforme causes the serious disease sudden death syndrome (SDS) in soybean. Host resistance to this pathogen is partial and encoded by a large number of quantitative trait loci, each conditioning small effects. Breeding SDS therefore challenging identification single-gene novel mechanisms becoming priority fight devastating fungal pathogen. In transcriptomic study we identified few putative soybean defense genes, expression which suppressed during F. infection. The...
Nonhost resistance is defined as the immunity of a plant species to all nonadapted pathogen species. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ecotype Columbia-0 nonhost oomycete Phytophthora sojae and fungal Fusarium virguliforme that are pathogenic soybean (Glycine max). Previously, we reported generating pss1 mutation in pen1-1 genetic background well mapping characterization sojae-susceptible gene locus, PSS1. In this study, identified six candidate PSS1 genes by comparing single-nucleotide...
Fungi in the genus Monilinia cause brown rot disease of stone and pome fruits. Here, we report draft genome assemblies four important phytopathogenic species: M. fructicola, fructigena, polystroma, laxa. The were 39 Mb (M. fructigena), 42 laxa), 43 fructicola), 45 polystroma) with as few 550 contigs laxa). These are first resources publicly available for laxa, polystroma.
Abstract Background Molecular markers facilitate both genotype identification, essential for modern animal and plant breeding, the isolation of genes based on their map positions. Advancements in sequencing technology have made possible identification single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) any genomic regions. Here a sequence polymorphic (SBP) marker generating molecular targeted regions Arabidopsis is described. Results A ~3X genome coverage thaliana ecotype, Niederzenz (Nd-0) was obtained...
The indium selenium (InSe) bilayer thin films of various thickness ratios, In x Se (1- ) ( = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75), were deposited on a glass substrate keeping overall the same 2500 Ǻ using thermal evaporation method under high vacuum atmosphere. Electrical, optical, and structural properties these have been compared before after annealing at different temperatures. morphological characterization was done XRD SEM, respectively. optical bandgap has calculated by Tauc’s relation that varies within...
