Comparative and functional triatomine genomics reveals reductions and expansions in insecticide resistance-related gene families
(Public Library of Science, 2017-02)
Background: Triatomine insects are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan parasite that is the causative agent of Chagas’ disease. This is a neglected disease affecting approximately 8 million people in Latin America. ...
Fruit metabolic and transcriptional programs differentiate among Andean tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) accessions
(Springer, 2019-10)
Main conclusion: Andean tomatoes differed from the wild ancestor in the metabolic composition and the expression of genes related with mitochondrial functions, and environmental stresses, making them potentially suitable ...
Fruit metabolic and transcriptional programs differentiate among Andean tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) accessions
(Springer, 2019-09-16)
Traditional landraces or “criollo” tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) from Andean areas of Argentina, selected for their fruit quality, were analysed in this study. We explored the metabolome and transcriptome of the ripe ...
Long-day photoperiod enhances jasmonic acid-related plant defense
(American Society of Plant Biologist, 2018-09)
Agricultural crops are exposed to a range of daylengths, which act as important environmental cues for the control of developmental processes such as flowering. To explore the additional effects of daylength on plant ...
Microsatellite analysis and marker development in garlic: distribution in EST sequence, genetic diversity analysis, and marker transferability across Alliaceae
(2018-04)
Allium vegetables, such as garlic and onion, have understudied genomes and limited molecular resources, hindering advances in genetic research and breeding of these species. In this study, we characterized and compared the ...
Patterns of differential gene expression in adult rotation-resistant and wild-type western corn rootworm digestive tracts
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-07)
The western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) is an important pest of corn. Annual crop rotation between corn and soybean disrupts the corn‐dependent WCR life cycle and is widely adopted to manage ...
Robustness of transposable element regulation but no genomic shock observed in interspecific Arabidopsis hybrids
(Oxford University Press, 2018-06)
The merging of two divergent genomes in a hybrid is believed to trigger a "genomic shock", disrupting gene regulation and transposable element (TE) silencing. Here, we tested this expectation by comparing the pattern of ...
Cross-talk between ethylene and drought signalling pathways is mediated by the sunflower Hahb-4 transcription factor
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006-10)
Hahb-4 is a member of the Helianthusannuus (sunflower) subfamily I of HD-Zip proteins that is transcriptionally regulated by water availability and abscisic acid. Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants overexpressing this ...
Insights into post-transcriptional regulation during legume-rhizobia symbiosis
(Landes Bioscience, 2012-12-06)
During the past ten years, changes in the transcriptome have been assessed at different stages of the legume-rhizobia association by the use of DNA microarrays and, more recently, by RNA sequencing technologies. These ...
Molecular and enological characterization of a natural Saccharomyces uvarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae hybrid
(2015-07)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays a main role in the winemaking process, although other species, like Saccharomyces uvarum or Saccharomyces paradoxus, have been associated with must fermentations. It has been reported in ...
