In silico analysis of diverse endophytic fungi by using ITS1-5,8S-ITS2 sequences with isolates from various plant families in Brazil
Authors: S.A. Rhoden, A. Garcia, J.L. Azevedo and J.A. Pamphile
Brazil has a great diversity of plants, and considering that all plant species studied to date have endophytic microorganisms (bacteria or fungi), the country is a resource in the search for bioactive compounds. Endophytes live within plants without causing damage and may be in dynamic equilibrium with the health of the plant. Endophytic fungi can be iden.. Read More»

A comparative study of stress-related gene expression under single stress and intercross stress in rice
Authors: Y.P. Zhang, Z.G. E,H. Jiang,L. Wang,J. Zhou and D.F. Zhu
Plant hormones play important roles in the crosstalk between biotic and abiotic stresses in rice throughout its entire growth period. However, these interactions are not completely understood. In this study, the physiological performance of rice seedlings under a single stress and a sequential combination of various stresses (intercross stress) was determ.. Read More»

Prediction of industrial tomato hybrids from agronomic traits and ISSR molecular markers
Authors: A.S.T. Figueiredo, J.T.V. Resende, M.V. Faria, P.R. Da-Silva, B.S. Fagundes and R.G.F. Morales
Heterosis is a highly relevant phenomenon in plant breeding. This condition is usually established in hybrids derived from crosses of highly divergent parents. The success of a breeder in obtaining heterosis is directly related to the correct identification of genetically contrasting parents. Currently, the diallel cross is th.. Read More»

Analysis of ROP signaling in the leaf epidermis of mutant tomato with low-energy ion beam
Authors: Q.X. Liang,G.Q. Cao,S.P. Zhao,Q.C. Huang,F.Q. Ying and W. Chen
The importance of the ROP small GTPase signaling pathway in the regulation of cellular polarity growth in eukaryotes has been thoroughly studied. In this study, we examined the LeROP small GTPase (related to Arabidopsis thaliana genome LeROP GTPase in tomato) signaling of cell polarity growth in the mutant (M-1) tomato. Interestingly, we detected expansiv.. Read More»

tRNALeu intron (UAA) of Ficus carica L.: genetic diversity and evolutionary patterns
Authors: G. Baraket,A.B. Abdelkrim and A. Salhi-Hannachi
Cytoplasmic chloroplast DNA was explored to establish genetic relationships among Ficus carica cultivars and elucidate the molecular evolution of the species. The results suggest the occurrence of haplotype and nucleotide diversity. Conserved group I intron sequence motifs were detected and showed a common secondary structure, despite the presence of some.. Read More»

Development and cross-species transferability of unigene-derived microsatellite markers in an edible oil woody plant, Camellia oleifera (Theaceae)
Authors: B.G. Jia, Q. Lin, Y.Z. Feng, X.Y. Hu, X.F. Tan, F.G. Shao and L. Zhang
Camellia oleifera is an important edible oil woody plant in China. Lack of useful molecular markers hinders current genetic research on this tree species. Transcriptome sequencing of developing C. oleifera seeds generated 69,798 unigenes. A total of 6949 putative microsatellites were discovered among 6042 SSRcontaining unigenes. Then, 150 simple sequence .. Read More»

Proteomic analysis of mycelial proteins from Magnaporthe oryzae under nitrogen starvation
Authors: X.-G. Zhou, P. Yu, C. Dong, C.-X. Yao, Y.-M. Ding, N. Tao andZ.-W. Zhao
Magnaporthe oryzae is an important model system in studies of plant pathogenic fungi, and nitrogen is a key nutrient source affecting microbial growth and development. In order to understand how nitrogen stress causes changes in mycelial proteins, we analyzed differentially expressed mycelial proteins from the M. oryzae virule.. Read More»

QTL mapping of forage yield and forage yield component traits in Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense
Authors: Y.L. Liu,L.H. Wang,J.Q. Li,Q.W. Zhan,Q. Zhang,J.F. Li and F.F. Fan
The sorghum-sudangrass hybrid (Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense) is an important forage crop. However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms related to forage yield and the 4 forage yield component traits in this forage crop. In this study, a linkage map was constructed with 124 assigned SSR markers using an F2 mapping population derived from the cro.. Read More»

Generic framework for mining cellular automata models on protein-folding simulations
Authors: N. Diaz and I. Tischer
Cellular automata model identification is an important way of building simplified simulation models. In this study, we describe a generic architectural framework to ease the development process of new metaheuristic-based algorithms for cellular automata model identification in protein-folding trajectories. Our framework was de.. Read More»
