Integrated transcriptome-metabolome analyses reveal regulatory networks underlying soluble solids accumulation in Capsicum chinense fruits.

The Capsicum genus shows remarkable phenotypic diversity, making it an excellent system to study non-climacteric fruit ripening. Unlike climacteric model species, such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the regulatory networks linking transcriptome …

An integrative multi-omics approach points to membrane composition as a key factor in E. coli persistence.

Many diverse bacteria can enter non- or slow-growing states where they are transiently tolerant to antibiotics. Despite its medical importance, the genetic mechanisms underlying this 'persistence' remain largely unknown, especially for spontaneous …

Gene Co-Expression Networks Highlight Key Nodes Associated With Ammonium Nitrate in Sugarcane.

This study aimed to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in sugarcane by analyzing transcriptome profiles of two genotypes (responsive, RB975375; non-responsive, RB937570) under contrasting nitrogen conditions, …

Infection by Moniliophthora perniciosa reprograms tomato Micro-Tom physiology, establishes a sink, and increases secondary cell wall synthesis.

Witches' broom disease of cacao is caused by the pathogenic fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa. By using tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cultivar Micro-Tom (MT) as a model system, we investigated the physiological and metabolic consequences of M. …

Bioinformatic analyses to uncover genes involved in trehalose metabolism in the polyploid sugarcane.

Trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) is an intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis that plays an essential role in plant metabolism and development. Here, we comprehensively analyzed sequences from enzymes of trehalose metabolism in sugarcane, one of the main …
