Project description:Full length long read transcript sequences were used as guides along with other multi-omics data to build gene model annotation of Cassava.
Project description:Phytomonas are a large and diverse sub-group of plant-infecting trypanosomatids that are relatively poorly understood. Little is known of their biology or how they have adapted to life inside plants. This study sequenced the genome of the Cassava (Manihot esculenta) infecting species Phytomonas francai to provide additional genome resources and new insight into the biology of this poorly understood group of organisms.
Project description:Quant-Seq (3'-end sequencing technique) of mRNAs to identify the 3'-ends of transcripts to analyse the 3'-UTR that were used with other multi-omics data to build gene model annotation of Cassava.
Project description:The start site analysis of transcripts from WT and cold treated samples of cassava that were used with other multi-omics data to build gene model annotation of Cassava.
Project description:microRNAs can play a crucial role in stress response in plants, including biotic stress. Some miRNAs are known to respond to bacterial infection. This work has addressed the role of miRNAs in Manihot esculenta (cassava)-Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam) interaction. Illumina sequencing was used for analyzing small RNA libraries from cassava tissue infected and non-infected with Xam. Cassava variety MBRA685 (resistant to Xam-CIO151) Six-week-old plants were inoculated with 36h-old cultures of the aggressive Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis strain CIO151 in both leaves and stems.
