From Genes to Stress Response: Genomic and Transcriptomic Data Suggest the Significance of the Inositol and Raffinose Family Oligosaccharide Pathways in , Adaptation to the Caatinga Environment.

is an important forage and extremophilic plant native to the Brazilian Caatinga semiarid region. It has only recently been subjected to omics-based investigations, and the generated datasets offer insights into biotechnologically significant candidates yet to be thoroughly examined. INSs (inositol and its derivatives) and RFO (raffinose oligosaccharide family) pathways emerge as pivotal candidates, given their critical roles in plant physiology.

Genetic diversity of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi based on de novo microsatellite markers.

Epizootics of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium rileyi regulate lepidopteran populations in soybean, cotton, and peanut agroecosystems to the point that insecticide applications could be unnecessary. However, the contribution and how different strains operate during the epizootic are unknown. Several unanswered questions remain: 1.

Bridging the Gap: Combining Genomics and Transcriptomics Approaches to Understand , an Orphan Legume from the Brazilian Caatinga.

is a scientifically orphaned legume found in the Brazilian Caatinga biome (a semi-arid environment). This work utilized omics approaches to investigate some ecophysiological aspects of stress tolerance/resistance in , study its genomic landscape, and predict potential metabolic pathways. Considering its high-confidence conceptual proteome, 1694 (~2.

From Gene to Transcript and Peptide: A Deep Overview on Non-Specific Lipid Transfer Proteins (nsLTPs).

Non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) stand out among plant-specific peptide superfamilies due to their multifaceted roles in plant molecular physiology and development, including their protective functions against pathogens. These antimicrobial agents have demonstrated remarkable efficacy against bacterial and fungal pathogens. The discovery of plant-originated, cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides such as nsLTPs has paved the way for exploring the mentioned organisms as potential biofactories for synthesizing antimicrobial compounds.

Genome Sequence of Metarhizium , a Microbial Control Agent for Lepidoptera.

(formerly known as ) is a potential agent for microbial control of many insect pests from the order Lepidoptera, the damages of which can cause considerable loss of productivity in agriculture. We report the genome sequence and annotation of strain Cep018-CH2/ARSEF 7053.
