Sorghum ( bicolor L.) is a staple food crops in the arid and rainfed production ecologies. plays critical role resilient farming projected as smart crop to overcome nutritional insecurity developing world. The development characterisation of sorghum pan-genome will provide insight into genome diversity functionality, supporting improvement. We built using reference genomes well 354 genetically diverse accessions belonging different races. explored structural functional characteristics...
Exploring the natural genetic variability and its exploitation for improved Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) in sorghum is one of primary goals modern crop improvement programs. The integrated strategies include high-throughput phenotyping, next generation sequencing (NGS)-based genotyping technologies, a priori selected candidate gene studies that help understand detailed physiological molecular mechanisms underpinning this complex trait. A set sixty diverse genotypes was evaluated different...
Due to evolutionary divergence, sorghum race populations exhibit significant genetic and morphological variation. A k-mer-based sequence comparison identified the conserved k-mers of all 272 accessions from race-specific signatures gene variability in 10,321 genes (PAVs). To understand structure, diversity domestication, a deep learning-based variant calling approach was employed set genotypic data derived diverse panel accessions. The resulted 1.7 million high-quality genome-wide SNPs...
A Streptomyces strain SAI-25, isolated from the rice rhizosphere, was previously reported to have several plant growth-promoting (PGP) and biocontrol potential. Since previous studies were targeted for particular traits, this study focused on mining genome explore its full biosynthetic potential, which unknown so far. To address that, sequenced obtain a chromosome-level assembly, analyzed identify secondary metabolite taxonomic positioning, genes/pathways responsible PGP strain-specific...
Apophysomyces species are prevalent in tropical countries and A. variabilis is the second most frequent agent causing mucormycosis India. Among species, elegans, trapeziformis commonly incriminated human infections. The genome sequences of elegans available public database, but not variabilis. We, therefore, performed whole sequence to explore its genomic structure possible genes determining virulence organism. NCCPF 102052 was sequenced compared with already structures other medically...
Abstract Maize ( Zea mays ), a major food crop worldwide, is susceptible to infection by the saprophytic fungus Aspergillus flavus that can produce carcinogenic metabolite aflatoxin (AF) especially under climate change induced abiotic stressors favor mold growth. Several studies have used “-omics” approaches identify genetic elements with potential roles in AF resistance, but there lack of research identifying involvement small RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) maize- A. interaction. In this...
Indian dill seed (Anethum sowa Roxb. ex Fleming) is an important member of family Apiaceae. It a significant spice having many medicinal properties. But, this aromatic herb still orphan from breeding and crop improvement perspective as no serious attention has been given by breeders. To swift the program, molecular markers play main role. But due to paucity markers, slower in seed. Therefore, attempt was made develop genomic SSR through next-generation sequencing. A total 2119.51 Mbp raw...
Abstract The draft genome sequence of an agriculturally important actinobacterial species Amycolatopsis sp. BCA-696 was developed and characterized in this study. is known for its biocontrol properties against charcoal rot also plant growth-promotion (PGP) several crop species. next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based comprised ~ 9.05 Mb linear chromosome with 68.75% GC content. In total, 8716 protein-coding sequences 61 RNA-coding were predicted the genome. This newly has been biosynthetic...
Background: Production of biofuels from lignocellulosic crop biomass is an alternative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The biofuel production involves collecting biomass, breaking down cell wall components followed by the conversion sugars ethanol. lingo-cellulosic comprises 40-50% cellulose, 20-30% hemicellulose, and 10-25% lignin. Sorghum a widely adapted energy for production. Biomass with low lignin, high hemicellulose contents are exploited attain maximum efficiency. Resistance...

Abstract The complete genome sequence of one rare actinobacteria Amycolatopsis sp. BCA−696 was characterized in this study. previously reported as a biocontrol agent against charcoal rot sorghum and plant growth-promoting chickpea. next-generation sequencing based whole draft comprises ~ 9.05Mb circular chromosome with 68.75% GC content. In total, 8,716 protein-coding sequences 61 RNA-coding were predicted, the species-specific genomic features analysed. Here we also report produces...
Abstract The worldwide prevalence of diabetes mellitus poses a significant hazard to human health and substantial economic burden for modern society. Multiple genes gene-environment interactions make up the complicated genetic landscape type 2 (T2D). majority studies concentrated on separate genes, while some put an excessive amount emphasis SNPs. objective this work was analyze all known T2D-associated in collective manner order identify candidate assess their possible functional role using...
