A DE NOVO COMPUTATIONAL DISCOVERY PLATFORM FROM RNA TO PROTEIN
Data-driven identification and functional characterization of human transcripts and proteins remain challenging tasks in the post-genomics era. Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms hugely increase RNA isoform diversity, while their contribution to protein synthesis remains …

Characterization of the transcriptome and the peptidase and the non-peptidase homologs of callosobruchus maculatus
… cowpea utilizes serine peptidase inhibitors as a defense against herbivorous insects. Peptidases have been considered a target for pest control. The cowpea bruchid in turn employs cysteine peptidases as its major digestive peptidase to avoid the plant’s defense. Important not only in digestion, …

Elucidation of the Function of Dihydrochalcones in Apple
… are abundant in some wild relatives. DHCs have demonstrated a wide range of bioactive properties in biomedical models. Some DHCs have also been reported to act as flavour enhancers. Phloridzin may act as an anti-diabetic compound by blocking sodium-linked glucose transport and renal reabsorption …

Genomic evidence of long-term asexuality at the northern range limit of wetland plant, Decodon verticillatus (Lythraceae)
… these hypotheses in the emergent wetland plant, Decodon vertcillatus (Lythraceae), which shifts from sexual to asexual reproduction at its northern range limit. I did a de novo transcriptome assembly and compared SNPs in sexual and asexual populations at and approaching the northern range limit …

De novo sequencing, assembly and analysis of the genome and transcriptome of the nematode Panagrolaimus superbus
The nematode Panagrolaimus superbus can survive for extended peri- ods of time in a desiccated state (anhydrobiosis) and is also freezing tol- erant (cryobiotic). These adaptations make it an interesting candidate for genome and transcriptome sequencing using second generation high through- put …

An exploration of phosphorylases for the synthesis of carbohydrate polymers
… vitro synthesis of carbohydrates. The disaccharide phosphorylases have attracted attention because of their strict stereo- and regiospecificity and their tractability. The polymerising phosphorylases have received less attention due to heterogeneous product formation, requiring more complex …

Intersexuality and Endocrine Disruption in the Amphipod Echinogammarus marinus – From Genes to Physiology
… males and intersex females) and has been considered an ideal model to study reproductive endocrine disruption in Crustacea. This study aimed to investigate both the physiology and gene expression in intersex E. marinus with the objective of better understanding their reproductive biology and …

Genomic approaches to understand sweetpotato root development in relation to abiotic factors
Storage root development is the most important physiological process in sweetpotato. Understanding the underlying genetics is the overall objective of this research. A secondary objective is examining the impact of abiotic stress on gene expression and storage root development. A comprehensive …

Reproductive plasticity and the evolution of the insect societies
… fundamental goal of evolutionary biology is to understand how novel traits arise. Eusociality represents an extreme form of social organization which has evolved independently a number of times across insects and is characterized especially in the Hymenoptera by a novel polyphenism between …

Transcriptional effects of predator cues in the brain of Spodoptera frugiperda (lepidoptera: noctuidae) moths exposed to bat ultrasound
… responses that have traditionally been considered acute and transitory. However, prolonged frequent exposure to predators and the chemical, visual, tactile, and auditory cues they broadcast to the environment are now known to have long-term impacts on prey physiology and life-histories. …

Dual-omics approach for 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin characterisation from Hydrangea serrata and isolation of polyketide synthases for heterologous expression in Pseudomonas putida KT2440
… two 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins and their glycosides. The detailed understanding of their biosynthesis is of special interest. A similar biocatalysis mechanism is well known from the chalcone synthase superfamily, a group of plant specific Type III polyketide synthases. Chalcone synthases and …

Transcriptomic study of evolution and gene expression in diploid and allotetraploid glycine subgenus glycine
The genus Glycine is divided into two subgenera, subgenus Soja and subgenus Glycine. One of the member species of subgenus Soja, soybean (Glycine max) is an important crop plant that has been extensively studied. Unlike soybean, the perennial wild relatives in subgenus Glycine are less well known …

Changes in Gene Expression and Viral Titer in Varroa Jacobsoni Mites After a Host Shift Asian to European Honey Bees
… increasing colony die-offs during the past two decades. Multiple species of parasitic mites have been described that affect honey bees. The most important species in beekeeping belong to the genus <em>Varroa</em> (<em> Varroa jacobsoni</em>and <em>Varroa destructor</em>). <em>Varroa</em> mite …

Massive Exchange of mRNA between a Parasitic Plant and its Hosts
… pentagona is an obligate parasitic plant that hinders production of crops throughout the world. Parasitic plants have unique morphological and physiological features, the most prominent being the haustorium, a specialized organ that functions to connect them with their host's vascular system. The …

Interactions of entomopathogenic fungi and other control agents: mechanism and field potential against Hylobius abietis larvae
… crucial role in natural ecosystems and are being developed as alternative control agents for insect pests. Both Beauvaria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae have been proven to be effective biological control agents against a range of pests and are commercially produced. Advantages of using EPF …
