Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence-Based Species Delimitation for the DNA Taxonomy of Undescribed Insects

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use mitochondrial DNA variation to delimit species in a poorly known beetle radiation in the genus Rivacindela from arid Australia, using a new likelihood method that determines the point of transition from species-level (speciation and extinction) to population-level evolutionary processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

Brian J. Haas, +102 more
- 17 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytophthora Genome Sequences Uncover Evolutionary Origins and Mechanisms of Pathogenesis

Brett M. Tyler, +68 more
- 01 Sep 2006 - 
TL;DR: Comparison of the two species' genomes reveals a rapid expansion and diversification of many protein families associated with plant infection such as hydrolases, ABC transporters, protein toxins, proteinase inhibitors, and, in particular, a superfamily of 700 proteins with similarity to known oömycete avirulence genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequencing reveals agronomically important loci in rice using MutMap

TL;DR: Results show that MutMap can accelerate the genetic improvement of rice and other crop plants and identify the unique genomic positions most probable to harbor mutations causing pale green leaves and semidwarfism, an agronomically relevant trait.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted mutagenesis in the model plant Nicotiana benthamiana using Cas9 RNA-guided endonuclease

TL;DR: Targeted mutagenesis in the model plant Nicotiana benthamiana using Cas9 RNA-guided endonuclease is demonstrated using a single Cas9 molecule for the first time.
