The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable an...
Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza; De-Almeida, Darcy Fontoura; Hungría, Mariangela; Guimarães, Cláudia Teixeira; Antônio, Regina VasconcellosChromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) ≈500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) wide-spre...
Phylogenetic inference and SSR characterization of tropical woody bamboos tribe...
Rogalski, Marcelo; Vieira, Leila do Nascimento; Anjo, Karina Goulart dos; Faoro, Helisson; Fraga, Hugo Pacheco de Freitas; Greco, Thiago MachadoThe complete plastome sequencing is an efficient option for increasing phylogenetic resolution and evolutionary studies, as well as may greatly facilitate the use of plastid DNA markers in plant population genetic studies. Merostachys and Guadua stand out as the most common and the highest potential utilization bamboos indigenous of Brazil. Here, we sequenced the complete plastome sequences of the Brazilian Gua...
The Linum usitatissimum L. plastome reveals atypical structural evolution, new ...
Santana Lopes, Amanda de; Pacheco, Túlio Gomes; Santos, Karla Gasparini dos; Vieira, Leila do Nascimento; Guerra, Miguel Pedro; Nodari, Rubens OnofreFlax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an economically important crop used as food, feed, and industrial feedstock. It belongs to the Linaceae family, which is noted by high morphological and ecological diversity. Here, we reported the complete sequence of flax plastome, the first species within Linaceae family to have the plastome sequenced, assembled and characterized in detail. The plastome of flax is a circular D...
Genetic, evolutionary and phylogenetic aspects of the plastome of annatto (Bixa...
Pacheco, Túlio Gomes; Lopes, Amanda de Santana; Viana, Gélia Dinah Monteiro; Silva, Odyone Nascimento da; Silva, Gleyson Morais da; Rogalski, MarceloAnnatto (Bixa orellana L.) is a native species of tropical Americas with center of origin in Brazilian Amazonia. Its seeds accumulate the apocarotenoids, bixin and norbixin, which are only found in high content in this species. The seeds of B. orellana are commercially valued by the food industry because its dyes replace synthetic ones from the market due to potential carcinogenic risks. The increasing consumpt...
The Crambe abyssinica plastome: Brassicaceae phylogenomic analysis, evolution o...
Lopes, Amanda de Santana; Pacheco, Túlio Gomes; Vieira, Leila do Nascimento; Guerra, Miguel Pedro; Nodari, Rubens Onofre; Souza, Emanuel Maltempi deCrambe abyssinica is an important oilseed crop that accumulates high levels of erucic acid, which is being recognized as a potential oil platform for several industrial purposes. It belongs to the family Brassicaceae, assigned within the tribe Brassiceae. Both family and tribe have been the subject of several phylogenetic studies, but the relationship between some lineages and genera remains unclear. Here, we r...
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Podocarpus lambertii: genome struct...
Vieira, Leila do Nascimento; Faoro, Helisson; Rogalski, Marcelo; Fraga, Hugo Pacheco de Freitas; Cardoso, Rodrigo Luis Alves; Souza, Emanuel Maltempi deNúmero de páginas não informado.; Podocarpus lambertii (Podocarpaceae) is a native conifer from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Biome, which is considered one of the 25 biodiversity hotspots in the world. The advancement of next-generation sequencing technologies has enabled the rapid acquisition of whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequences at low cost. Several studies have proven the potential of cp genomes as too...
An improved protocol for intact chloroplasts and cpDNA isolation in conifers
Vieira, Leila do Nascimento; Faoro, Helisson; Fraga, Hugo Pacheco de Freitas; Rogalski, Marcelo; Souza, Emanuel Maltempi de; Pedrosa, Fábio de OliveiraPerforming chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) isolation is considered a major challenge among different plant groups,especially conifers. Isolating chloroplasts in conifers by such conventional methods as sucrose gradient and high salt has not been successful. So far, plastid genome sequencing protocols for conifer species have been based mainly on long-range PCR, which is known to be time-consuming and difficult to imple...
