  • Permanent Draft Genome Sequence of Frankia Sp. NRRL B-16219 Reveals
    Ktari et al. Standards in Genomic Sciences (2017) 12:51 DOI 10.1186/s40793-017-0261-3 EXTENDEDGENOMEREPORT Open Access Permanent draft genome sequence of Frankia sp. NRRL B-16219 reveals the presence of canonical nod genes, which are highly homologous to those detected in Candidatus Frankia Dg1 genome Amir Ktari1, Imen Nouioui1, Teal Furnholm2, Erik Swanson2, Faten Ghodhbane-Gtari1, Louis S. Tisa2 and Maher Gtari1* Abstract Frankia sp. NRRL B-16219 was directly isolated from a soil sample obtained from the rhizosphere of Ceanothus jepsonii growing in the USA. Its host plant range includes members of Elaeagnaceae species. Phylogenetically, strain NRRL B-16219 is closely related to “Frankia discariae” with a 16S rRNA gene similarity of 99.78%. Because of the lack of genetic tools for Frankia, our understanding of the bacterial signals involved during the plant infection process and the development of actinorhizal root nodules is very limited. Since the first three Frankia genomes were sequenced, additional genome sequences covering more diverse strains have helped provide insight into the depth of the pangenome and attempts to identify bacterial signaling molecules like the rhizobial canonical nod genes. The genome sequence of Frankia sp. strain NRRL B-16219 was generated and assembled into 289 contigs containing 8,032,739 bp with 71.7% GC content. Annotation of the genome identified 6211 protein-coding genes, 561 pseudogenes, 1758 hypothetical proteins and 53 RNA genes including 4 rRNA genes. The NRRL B-16219 draft genome contained genes homologous to the rhizobial common nodulation genes clustered in two areas. The first cluster contains nodACIJH genes whereas the second has nodAB and nodH genes in the upstream region.

  • Production, Pomological and Nutraceutical Properties of Apricot
    1 Production, pomological and nutraceutical properties of apricot Khaled Moustafa1* and Joanna Cross2 1Editor of ArabiXiv (arabixiv.org), Paris, France 2Nigde Omer Halisdemir University, Nigde, Turkey Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Apricot (Prunus sp.) is an important fruit crop worldwide. Despite recent advances in apricot research, much is still to be done to improve its productivity and environmental adaptability. The availability of wild apricot germplasms with economically interesting traits is a strong incentive to increase research panels toward improving its economic, environmental and nutritional characteristics. New technologies and genomic studies have generated a large amount of raw data that the mining and exploitation can help decrypt the biology of apricot and enhance its agronomic values. Here, we outline recent findings in relation to apricot production, pomological and nutraceutical properties. In particular, we retrace its origin from central Asia and the path it took to attain Europe and other production areas around the Mediterranean basin while locating it in the rosaceae family and referring to its genetic diversities and new attempts of classification. The production, nutritional, and nutraceutical importance of apricot are recapped in an easy readable and comparable way. We also highlight and discuss the effects of late frost damages on apricot production over different growth stages, from swollen buds to green fruits formation. Issues related to the length of production season and biotic and abiotic environmental challenges are also discussed with future perspective on how to lengthen the production season without compromising the fruit quality and productivity. Keywords Apricot kernel oil, plum pox virus, prunus armeniaca, spring frost, stone fruit, sharka.

Accepted: July 10, 2019 Data deposition: This project has been deposited at EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ under the accession PRJEB19438 - PRJEB19449. Abstract Frankia strains induce the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on roots of actinorhizal plants. Phylogenetically, Frankia strains can be grouped in four clusters. The earliest divergent cluster, cluster-2, has a particularly wide host range. The analysis of cluster-2 strains has been hampered by the fact that with two exceptions, they could never be cultured. In this study, 12 Frankia-enriched meta- genomes of Frankia cluster-2 strains or strain assemblages were sequenced based on seven inoculum sources. Sequences obtained via DNA isolated from whole nodules were compared with those of DNA isolated from fractionated preparations enhanced in the Frankia symbiotic structures.

DILLENBERGER1 Which changes are needed to render all genera of the German lora monophyletic? Version of record irst published online on 24 March 2016 ahead of inclusion in April 2016 issue. Abstract: The use of DNA sequence data in plant systematics has brought us closer than ever to formulating well- founded hypotheses about phylogenetic relationships, and phylogenetic research keeps on revealing that plant genera as traditionally circumscribed often are not monophyletic. Here, we assess the monophyly of all genera of vascular plants found in Germany. Using a survey of the phylogenetic literature, we discuss which classiications would be consistent with the phylogenetic relationships found and could be followed, provided monophyly is accepted as the primary criterion for circumscribing taxa. We indicate whether and which names are available when changes in ge- neric assignment are made (but do not present a comprehensive review of the nomenclatural aspects of such names). Among the 840 genera examined, we identiied c. 140 where data quality is suiciently high to conclude that they are not monophyletic, and an additional c. 20 where monophyly is questionable but where data quality is not yet suicient to reach convincing conclusions. While it is still iercely debated how a phylogenetic tree should be trans- lated into a classiication, our results could serve as a guide to the likely consequences of systematic research for the taxonomy of the German lora and the loras of neighbouring countries.

  • Genetic Mapping and Phenotyping Plant Characteristics, Fruit Quality and Disease Resistance Traits in Octoploid Strawberry (Fragaria × Ananassa)
    UNIVERSITY OF READING Genetic mapping and phenotyping plant characteristics, fruit quality and disease resistance traits in octoploid strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences Laima Antanaviciute February, 2016 Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. ……………………………………………………… Abstract The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is the third most economically important fruit crop. In recent years the withdrawal of many fungicides and soil fumigants have made the sustainability and profitability of this crop more challenging. To overcome these challenges, plant breeders aim to improve upon existing cultivars and to release new ones with higher yield, better fruit quality and more disease resistance. Through Quantitative Trait Mapping, markers linked to genetic variants associated with traits of economic and agronomic importance can be identified through and molecular markers such as simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), can be used to improve plant breeding efficiency at the molecular level, which significantly reduces the breeding time and cost of phenotyping. In this thesis the following work is described: a correlation analysis of plant characteristics and fruit quality traits; the saturation of an existing SSR-based linkage map; the development of a high density consensus SNP-based octoploid strawberry linkage map, and the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) linked to two key plant attributes, fruit quality and powdery mildew resistance. In addition, the most closely linked SSR markers were identified and validated in a wider strawberry germplasm using firmness as an example study.

Received: 2 June 2020; Accepted: 10 July 2020; Published: 13 July 2020 Abstract: Potentilla dickinsii var. glabrata and Spiraea insularis in the family Rosaceae are species endemic to Ulleung Island, Korea, the latter of which is listed as endangered. In this study, we characterized the complete plastomes of these two species and compared these with previously reported plastomes of other Ulleung Island endemic species of Rosaceae (Cotoneaster wilsonii, Prunus takesimensis, Rubus takesimensis, and Sorbus ulleungensis). The highly conserved complete plastomes of P. dickinsii var. glabrata and S. insularis are 158,637 and 155,524 base pairs with GC contents of 37% and 36.9%, respectively. Comparative phylogenomic analysis identified three highly variable intergenic regions (trnT-UGU/trnL-UAA, rpl32/trnL-UAG, and ndhF/rpl32) and one variable genic region (ycf1).
