Proteins that interact coevolve their structures. When mutation disrupts the interaction, compensation by the partner occurs to restore interaction otherwise counterselection occurs. We show in this study how a destabilizing mutation in one protein is compensated by a stabilizing mutation in its protein partner and their coevolving path. The pathway in this case and likely a general principle o...

The purpose of this research was to study the growth response pokem (Setaria italica), which inoculated by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from tailings area. method used in a completely randomized design factorial pattern. factors consisted AMF types (M)(M0: non-mycorrhizal, M1: Claroideoglomus etunicatum BGR, M2: C. lamellosum B1107S, M3: L3101D), and inoculum density (I) (I: 5 g, II: 10 g...

The diploid C4 plant foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv.) is an important crop in many parts of Africa and Asia for the vast consumption of its grain and ability to grow in harsh environments, but remains understudied in terms of complete genomic architecture. To date, there have been only two genome assembly and annotation efforts with neither assembly reaching over 86% of the estimated ...

Pennisetum species have importance in foraging, agriculture, energy-production, the environment, and landscaping. To promote preservation utilization of ornamental resources, we developed simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from setaceum cv. ‘Rubrum’ transcriptome verified their conservation 38 sources. Our sequencing efforts generated 58.91 Gb clean data containing 55,627 unigenes. We functio...

It was reported that Nuclear Factor Y (NF-Y) genes were involved in abiotic stress in plants. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), an elite stress tolerant crop, provided an impetus for the investigation of the NF-Y families in abiotic responses. In the present study, a total of 39 NF-Y genes were identified in foxtail millet. Synteny analyses suggested that foxtail millet NF-Y genes had experienc...

Several underutilized grasses have excellent potential for use as bioenergy feedstock due to their lignocellulosic biomass. Genomic tools have enabled identification of lignocellulose biosynthesis genes in several sequenced plants. However, the non-availability of whole genome sequence of bioenergy grasses hinders the study on bioenergy genomics and their genomics-assisted crop improvement. Fox...
