Sorghum bicolor - an important species for comparative grass genomics and a source of beneficial genes for agriculture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A high-resolution genetic, physical, and cytological map of the sorghum genome is being assembled using AFLP DNA marker technology, six-dimensional pooling of BAC libraries, cDNA mapping technology, and cytogenetic analysis. Recent advances in sorghum comparative genomics and gene-transfer technology are accelerating the discovery and utilization of valuable sorghum genes and alleles.

The perennial ryegrass GenomeZipper: targeted use of genome resources for comparative grass genomics.
Whole-genome sequences established for model and major crop species constitute a key resource for advanced genomic research. For outbreeding forage and turf grass species like ryegrasses (Lolium spp.), such resources have yet to be developed. Here, we present a model of the perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) genome on the basis of conserved synteny to barley (Hordeum vulgare) and the model gra...
متن کاملFunctional and expression analyses of transcripts based on full-length cDNAs of Sorghum bicolor
Sorghum bicolor is one of the most important crops for food and bioethanol production. Its small diploid genome and resistance to environmental stress make sorghum an attractive model for studying the functional genomics of the Saccharinae and other C4 grasses. We analyzed the domain-based functional annotation of the cDNAs using the gene ontology (GO) categories for molecular function to chara...
متن کاملGRASSIUS: a platform for comparative regulatory genomics across the grasses.
Transcription factors (TFs) are major players in gene regulatory networks and interactions between TFs and their target genes furnish spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression. Establishing the architecture of regulatory networks requires gathering information on TFs, their targets in the genome, and the corresponding binding sites. We have developed GRASSIUS (Grass Regulatory Information Serv...
متن کاملPositively selected disease response orthologous gene sets in the cereals identified using Sorghum bicolor L. Moench expression profiles and comparative genomics.
Disease response genes (DRGs) diverge under recurrent positive selection as a result of a molecular arms race between hosts and pathogens. Most of these studies were conducted in animals, and few defense genes have been shown to evolve adaptively in plants. To test for adaptation in the molecules mediating disease resistance in the cereals, we first combined information from the expression patt...
متن کاملComparative genomics of grasses promises a bountiful harvest.
Building on a rich history of comparative genomics, scientists are making rapid progress toward a comprehensive framework for comparative genomics of the grass family (Poaceae) that will permit comparative studies at new levels of intricacy. The sequences of each of the two rice (Oryza sativa) subspecies (Goff et al., 2002; Yu et al., 2002, 2005b; Matsumoto et al., 2005), the recent completion ...
