Over three million sequences from approximately 200 plant species have been deposited in
the publicly available plant expressed sequence tag (EST) sequence databases. Many of …

Aegerolysins, discovered in fungi, bacteria and plants, are highly similar proteins with
interesting biological properties. Certain aegerolysins possess antitumoral, antiproliferative …

Many phylogenomic studies based on transcriptomes have been limited to “single-copy”
genes due to methodological challenges in homology and orthology inferences. Only a …

We develop a method to predict and validate gene models using PacBio single-molecule,
real-time (SMRT) cDNA reads. Ninety-eight percent of full-insert SMRT reads span complete …

World sugar production is around 160 Mt yearly with a per capita consumption of about 23
kg. Total utilization is increasing approximately 1.4% annually thanks to the improved …

The book comes during a time of rapid expansion in molecular technology-based selection
approaches that are destined to modify or supplement conventional breeding methodology …

Despite the agronomic importance of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), the early‐stage
development of its taproot has only been poorly investigated. Thus, the mechanisms that …

Inducible plant defence responses in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaves are repressed
during the early phase of infection by the fungus Cercospora beticola. In this report, we show …

We present draft genome assemblies of Beta patula, a critically endangered wild beet
endemic to the Madeira archipelago, and of the closely related Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima …

A panel of 13 sugar beet lines and one genotype each of the Beta vulgaris cultivars red beet
and Swiss chard, and B. vulgaris ssp. maritima were used to identify polymorphisms in …
