Molecular chaperones in the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis transcriptome
Authors: Andr�© Moraes Nicola, Ros�¢ngela Vieira Andrade and Ildinete Silva-Pereira
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic and a human pathogenic fungus. Our group has partially sequenced its transcriptome and generated a database of mycelial and yeast PbAESTs (P. brasiliensis assembled expressed sequence tags). In the present review we describe the identification of PbAESTs encoding molecular.. Read More»

Screening for glycosylphosphatidylinositolanchored proteins in the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis transcriptome
Authors: Nadya da Silva Castro, Zilma Alves Maia, Maristela Pereira and C�©lia Maria de Almeida Soares
Open reading frames in the transcriptome of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis were screened for potential glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, which are a functionally and structurally diverse family of post-translationally modified molecules found in a variety of eukaryotic cells. Numerous studies have demonstrat.. Read More»

The cell wall of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: insights from its transcriptome
Authors: PatrÃ?Âcia Kott Tomazett, Aline Helena da Silva Cruz, Sheyla Maria Rondon Caixeta Bonfim, CÃ?©lia Maria de Almeida Soares and Maristela Pereira
The cell wall of a human pathogenic fungus is in contact with the host, serves as a barrier against host defense mechanisms and harbors most fungal antigens. In addition, cell wall biosynthesis pathways have been recognized as essential to viability and as specific drug targets. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a dimorphic fun.. Read More»

Genetic divergence in a soybean (Glycine max) diversity panel based on agro-morphological traits
Authors: M.B. Marconato, E.M. Pereira, F.M. Silva, E.H. Bizari, J.B. Pinheiro, A.O. Mauro and S.H. Un�ªda-Trevisoli
Owing to the narrow genetic basis of soybean (Glycine max), the incorporation of new sources of germplasm is indispensable when searching for alleles that contribute to a greater diversity of varieties. The alternative is plant introduction, which may increase genetic variability within breeding programs. Multivariate techniqu.. Read More»

Gene expression characteristics of growth-inhibited rice seedlings induced by low-energy N+-beam implantation
Authors: H. Ya, Q. Chen, W. Wang and Y. Cheng
Using the RNA sequencing, transcriptomes of growth-inhibited rice seedlings induced by low-energy N+-beam implantation were analyzed. The results showed that rice genes related to binding, electron carrier activity, transcription factor, auxin signal transduction, photosynthesis, and oxidoreductase activity were involved in th..

Overexpression of the activated form of the AtAREB1 gene (AtAREB1Ã?Â?QT) improves soybean responses to water deficit
Authors: J.P. Leite, E.G.G. Barbosa, S.R.R. Marin, J.P. Marinho, J.F.C. Carvalho, R.F. Pagliarini, A.S. Cruz, M.C.N. Oliveira, J.R.B. Farias, N. Neumaier, F.C.M. Guimar�£es, T. Yoshida, N. Kanamori, Y. Fujita, K. Nakashima, K.Y. Shinozaki, J.A. Desid�©rio and A.L. Nepomuceno
Abscisic acid-responsive element binding protein (AREB1) is a basic domain/leucine zipper transcription factor that binds to the abscisic acid (ABA)-responsive element motif in the promoter region of ABA-inducible genes. Because AREB1 is not sufficient to direct the expression of downstream genes under non-stress conditions, a.. Read More»

Differential expression of genes involved in entomopathogenicity of the fungi Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae and M. anisopliae var. acridum (Clavicipitaceae)
Authors: M.P. Carneiro-Le�£o, F.D. Andreote, W.L. Ara�ºjo and N.T. Oliveira
Expression analysis of the genes involved in germination, conidiogenisis and pathogenesis of Metarhizium anisopliae during its saprophytic and pathogenic life stages can help plan strategies to increase its efficacy as a biological control agent. We quantified relative expression levels of the nitrogen response regulator gene .. Read More»

Microsatellite loci and genetic structure of artificial populations of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
Authors: L.O.S. Anjos, R.F. Peixoto Jr, D.M.S. Chanquinie, L.R. Pinto,S.A. Creste, L.L. Dinardo-Miranda, M.G.A. Landell, E.V. Tambarussi and R. Vencovsky
Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) is a parasitoid wasp used in the biological control of the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis) (Fabr., 1794). Studies on the genetic diversity of C. flavipes are hampered by the lack of highly polymorphic molecular markers. In this report, a set of 11 microsatellite loci were developed from an enr..

Differential interactions between Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens and common bean
Authors: S.C.D. Valdo, A. Wendland, L.G. Ara�ºjo, L.C. Melo, H.S. Pereira, P.G. Melo and L.C. Faria
Bacterial wilt of common bean caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens is an important disease in terms of economic importance. It reduces grain yield by colonizing xylem vessels, subsequently impeding the translocation of water and nutrients to the superior plant parts. The existence of physiological races i.. Read More»

Development of a species-specific sequence-characterized amplified region marker for roses
Authors: S. Riaz, B. Sadia, F.S. Awan, I.A. Khan, H.A. Sadaqat and I.A. Khan
DNA fingerprints of four rose species, Rosa centifolia, R. Gruss-an-Teplitz, R. bourboniana, and R. damascena, were developed using RAPD-PCR. We identified a unique polymorphic band in R. centifolia. This 762-bp fragment was produced by the random primer GLI-2. The fragment was eluted and directly cloned in a TA cloning vector.. Read More»
