- The mitochondrial genome of the terrestrial carnivorous plant Utricularia reniformis (Lentibulariaceae): structure, comparative analysis and evolutionary landmarks, PUB.ART
Abstract
The carnivorous plants of the family Lentibulariaceae have attained recent attention not only because of their interesting lifestyle, but also because of their dynamic nuclear genome size. Lentibulariaceae genomes span an order of magnitude and include species with the smallest genomes in angiosperms, making them a powerful system to study the mechanisms of genome expansion and contract...
- Genomics and transcriptomics of Utricularia reniformis (Lentibulariaceae): an evolutive and functional approach, AP.R
Abstract
The Lentibulariaceae belongs to the richest carnivorous plants families and therefore grouped into 320 species arranged in three genres: Pinguicula, Genlisea and Utricularia. Recent phylogenetic and comparative studies indicated that the Lentibulariaceae are positioned at the Lamiales order, but their relationships within different families are still under discussion. The family is mono...
- Comparative genomics and molecular evolution of carnivorous plants of the genus Utricularia (Lentibulariaceae), BP.PD
Abstract
The carnivorous plants of the family Lentibulariaceae, which include the genera Pinguicula, Genlisea and Utricularia, have drawn the attention of the scientific community in recent years since they are good candidates for model plants. It isn't only their atypical morphological and physiological adaptations for obtaining nutrients that make then an ideal model, it is also the ease of cu...
- Comparative genomics of Brasilonema (cyanobacteria, Scytonemataceae) isolates to identify genes related to leaf infection in eucalyptus grandis, BP.PD
Abstract
Cyanobacteria are microorganisms that perform fundamental ecological roles in several environments, establishing mutualistic interactions with a great number of eukaryotes. On the other hand, some cyanobacteria are capable of producing molecules with toxic effects on several organisms, including plants. Brasilonema is a cyanobacterial genus recently found on the surface of mineral subst...
- Agronomical & environmental genomes (AEG), BP.TT
- Investigating the secondary metabolism of Brasilonema (cyanobacteria: Scytonemataceae), BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Brasilonema is a cyanobacterial genus in which the only known oxyphotobacteria known to infect plants are classified. The study of genomes from micro-organisms of this genus may bring several contributions, including a better understanding of the diversity of cyanobacterial secondary metabolism and the possible role of their bioactive molecules. Previously, as part of the project "Compa...
