Article Synopsis
- RNA-Seq was used to analyze genes involved in drought response in leaf and root tissues from both drought-susceptible and drought-tolerant genotypes, identifying 54,750 transcripts from 28,590 genes, including 1,648 novel high-fidelity entries.
- A total of 1,239 differentially expressed genes were found, predominantly in drought-tolerant genotypes, focusing on oxidative stress, response to stimuli, and kinase activity, indicating a proactive response to stress.
- The study validated 88.64% of these genes using qPCR, identified a large number of genetic variants, and contributed data to the NCBI database, enhancing understanding of drought tolerance mechanisms in beans.
Eighty-one Rhizoctonia-like isolates were identified based on morphology and nuclei-staining methods from natural and agricultural soils of the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna). The nucleotide similarity analysis of ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 regions identified 14 different taxa, with 39.
