The ascomycete fungus Tolypocladium inflatum, a pathogen of beetle larvae, is best known as the producer of the immunosuppressant drug cyclosporin. The draft genome of T. inflatum strain NRRL 8044 (ATCC 34921), the isolate from which cyclosporin was first isolated, is presented along with comparative analyses of the biosynthesis of...
Eucalypts are the world’s most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity, adaptability and growth have
made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. We sequenced and assembled >94% of the 640-megabase
genome of Eucalyptus grandis. Of 36,376 predicted protein-coding genes, 34% occur in tandem duplications, the largest...
Plastids are actively involved in numerous plant processes critical to growth, development and adaptation. They play a
primary role in photosynthesis, pigment and monoterpene synthesis, gravity sensing, starch and fatty acid synthesis, as well
as oil, and protein storage. We applied two complementary methods to analyze the recently published apple...
We have developed VitisCyc, a grapevine-specific metabolic pathway database that allows
researchers to (i) search and browse the database for its various components such as
metabolic pathways, reactions, compounds, genes and proteins, (ii) compare grapevine
metabolic networks with other publicly available plant metabolic networks, and (iii)
upload, visualize and analyze...
FragariaCyc is a strawberry-specific cellular metabolic network based on the annotated genome sequence of Fragaria vesca L. ssp. vesca, accession Hawaii 4. It was built on the Pathway-Tools platform using MetaCyc as the reference. The experimental evidences from published literature were used for supporting/editing existing entities and for the addition...
