The Distribution of a Transposase Sequence in Moniliophthora Perniciosa Confirms the Occurrence of Two Genotypes in Bahia, Brazil
Tropical Plant Pathology, vol. 36, 5, 276-286 (2011) Copyright by the Brazilian Phytopathological Society. Printed in Brazil www.sbfito.com.br RESEARCH ARTICLE / ARTIGO The distribution of a transposase sequence in Moniliophthora perniciosa confirms the occurrence of two genotypes in Bahia, Brazil Mariana D.C. Ignacchiti, Mateus F. Santana, Elza F. Araújo & Marisa V. Queiroz Departamento de Microbiologia, BIOAGRO, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 36571-000, Viçosa, MG, Brazil Author for correspondence: Marisa Vieira de Queiroz, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Transposase sequence analysis is an important technique used to detect the presence of transposable elements in a genome. Putative transposase sequence was analyzed in the genome of the phytopathogenic fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, the causal agent of witches’ broom disease of cocoa. Sequence comparisons of the predicted transposase peptide indicate a close relationship with the transposases from the elements of the Tc1-Mariner superfamily. The analysis of the distribution of transposase sequence was done by means of PCR and Southern blot techniques in different isolates of the fungus belonging to C-, L-, and S-biotypes and collected from various geographical areas. The distribution profile of the putative transposase sequence suggests the presence of polymorphic copies among the isolates from C-biotypes. The total DNA hybridization profile of each isolate was used to calculate genetic distance and group by the UPGMA method. C-biotype isolates colleted from of the Bahia showed two hybridization profiles for the transposase sequence. Thus the two different fingerprinting profiles for transposase sequence reported here by Southern analysis could also be correlated to the presence of two different genotypes in Bahia, Brazil. -
Malpighiaceae De Colombia: Patrones De Distribución, Riqueza, Endemismo Y Diversidad Filogenética
DARWINIANA, nueva serie 9(1): 39-54. 2021 Versión de registro, efectivamente publicada el 16 de marzo de 2021 DOI: 10.14522/darwiniana.2021.91.923 ISSN 0011-6793 impresa - ISSN 1850-1699 en línea MALPIGHIACEAE DE COLOMBIA: PATRONES DE DISTRIBUCIÓN, RIQUEZA, ENDEMISMO Y DIVERSIDAD FILOGENÉTICA Diego Giraldo-Cañas ID Herbario Nacional Colombiano (COL), Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá D. C., Colombia; [email protected] (autor corresponsal). Abstract. Giraldo-Cañas, D. 2021. Malpighiaceae from Colombia: Patterns of distribution, richness, endemism, and phylogenetic diversity. Darwiniana, nueva serie 9(1): 39-54. Malpighiaceae constitutes a family of 77 genera and ca. 1300 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres. They are mainly diversified in the American continent and distributed in a wide range of habitats and altitudinal gradients. For this reason, this family can be a model plant group to ecological and biogeographical analyses, as well as evolutive studies. In this context, an analysis of distribution, richness, endemism and phylogenetic diversity of Malpighiaceae in natural regions and their altitudinal gradients was undertaken. Malpighiaceae are represented in Colombia by 34 genera and 246 species (19.1% of endemism). Thus, Colombia and Brazil (44 genera, 584 species, 61% of endemism) are the two richest countries on species of this family. The highest species richness and endemism in Colombia is found in the lowlands (0-500 m a.s.l.: 212 species, 28 endemics); only ten species are distributed on highlands (2500-3200 m a.s.l.). Of the Malpighiaceae species in Colombia, Heteropterys leona and Stigmaphyllon bannisterioides have a disjunct amphi-Atlantic distribution, and six other species show intra-American disjunctions. -

ABSTRACT Theobroma cacao, the source of chocolate, is affected by destructive diseases wherever it is grown. Some diseases are endemic; however, as cacao was disseminated from the Amazon rain forest to new cultivation sites it encountered new pathogens. Two well-established diseases cause the greatest losses: black pod rot, caused by several species of Phytophthora, and witches’ broom of cacao, caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa. Phytophthora megakarya causes the severest damage in the main cacao producing countries in West Africa, while P. palmivora causes significant losses globally. M. perniciosa is related to a sister basidiomycete species, M. -
The in Vitro Evaluation of Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities of Ripe Fruit Extracts (Pericarp and Seed) of Bunchosia Armeniaca (Cav.) DC

All Rights Reserved. eISSN-0128-1119 The in vitro evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal activities of ripe fruit extracts (pericarp and seed) of Bunchosia armeniaca (Cav.) DC. Mackingsley Kushan Dassanayake University of Wolverhampton, Wulfruna Street, Wolverhampton, WV1 1LY, UK *For correspondence: [email protected] _________________________________ Abstract: Plants are rich sources of phytoconstituents that have the ability to contribute biological activities. Indigenously prepared crude extracts of medicinal plants have been used as medications to treat infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms by people of various ethnic origins for many centuries in folkloric medicine. The research in discovering new and innovative antimicrobial compounds from plants has received increased concern due to the global rise of antimicrobial resistance. The present study aims to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial potential of pericarp and seed extracts of ripe fruits associated with a native South American plant specimen known as Bunchosia armeniaca. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of aqueous and ethanolic crude extracts with concentrations ranging from 1000 to 125 µg/ml were determined against bacterial pathogens of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, viridans group streptococci, and fungal pathogens Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigates by performing the agar well diffusion assay. The pericarp extract did not exhibit any antimicrobial activity while the aqueous seed extract was only active against Escherichia coli, which indicated a mean inhibition zone diameter of 16.2 mm at its highest concentration. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the seed extract was 250 µg/ml. -

Technical Guidelines for the Safe Movement of Cacao Germplasm
Technical Guidelines for the Safe Movement of Cacao Germplasm (Revised from the FAO/IPGRI Technical Guidelines No. 20) Edited by Michelle J End, Andrew J Daymond and Paul Hadley CacaoNet (www.cacaonet.org) is an international network for cacao genetic resources coordinated by Bioversity International with a steering committee and working groups composed of representatives from various cocoa research institutes and organizations supporting cocoa research. CacaoNet aims to optimize the conservation and use of cacao genetic resources, as the foundation of a sustainable cocoa economy (from farmers through research to consumers), by coordinating and strengthening the conservation and related research efforts of a worldwide network of public and private sector stakeholders. Bioversity International (www.bioversityinternational.org) is an independent international scientific organization that seeks to improve the well-being of present and future generations of people by enhancing conservation and the deployment of agricultural biodiversity on farms and in forests. It is one of 15 centres supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an association of public and private members who support efforts to mobilize cutting-edge science to reduce hunger and poverty, improve human nutrition and health, and protect the environment. Bioversity has its headquarters in Maccarese, near Rome, Italy, with offices in more than 20 other countries worldwide. The organization operates through four programmes: Diversity for Livelihoods, Understanding and Managing Biodiversity, Global Partnerships, and Commodities for Livelihoods.
