Stylosanthes guianensis CIAT 184 – review of a tropical forage legume

Nucleotide sequence of a cationic peroxidase gene from the tropical forage legume Stylosanthes humilis.

Peroxidases (EC 1.1 1.1.7; donor: hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase) have been implicated in numerous physiological processes of potential importance in plant-pathogen interactions, including lignification (Walter, 1992), crosslinking of cell-wall components (Bradley et al., 1992), wound healing (Sherf et al., 1993), auxin oxidation (Grambow and Langenbeck-Schwich, 1979), and systemic acquired r...

Cloning and sequence of a cDNA encoding phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from the tropical forage legume Stylosanthes humilis.

PAL (EC 4.3.1.5) catalyzes the deamination of Phe to trans-cinnamic acid in the first step of the phenylpropanoid pathway, a key process for the synthesis of phenolic compounds in plants. In legumes, phenolic compounds have many important roles including flavonoid signal molecules required for nodulation, antibiotic phytoalexins for defense against pathogens, and precursors for the structural a...

Secondary Metabolites and Pest Resistance in a Tropical Forage Legume

Genome Sequence of Bradyrhizobium stylosanthis Strain BR 446T, a Nitrogen-Fixing Symbiont of the Legume Pasture Stylosanthes guianensis

Bradyrhizobium stylosanthis BR 446(T) is a nitrogen-fixing symbiont of the tropical legume pasture Stylosanthes guianensis Its draft genome contains 8,801,717 bp and 8,239 coding sequences (CDSs). Several putative genes that might confer high competitiveness and saprophytic capacity under the stressful conditions of tropical soils were identified in the genome.

Identification of Stylosanthes guianensis varieties using molecular genetic analysis

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The botanical classification of Stylosanthes guianensis is controversial, and few studies have used molecular markers to analyse this species. We used microsatellite markers to study the genetic diversity and population structure of S. guianensis and compare our results with the current infraspecific botanical classification. METHODOLOGY A representative sample from the S....
