Article Synopsis
- Minimally invasive sampling methods are preferred for collecting genetic material from endangered species, but they often produce low-quality DNA for genomic analysis.
- The research developed and validated a specialized GT-seq panel for the northern Idaho ground squirrel, consisting of 224 neutral and 81 adaptive SNPs, achieving a 73% success rate with DNA from buccal swabs.
- Comparisons showed that GT-seq offered reliable population diversity estimates and improved monitoring efforts, making it a valuable tool for conservation genetics, especially for rare species.
Plant defense against pathogens includes a range of mechanisms, including, but not limited to, genetic resistance, pathogen-antagonizing endophytes, and pathogen competitors. The relative importance of each mechanism can be expressed in a hierarchical view of defense. Several recent studies have shown that pathogen antagonism is inconsistently expressed within the plant defense hierarchy.
