Plant-Microbe interaction is a fundamental process in the biosphere that impacts natural ecosystems as well as agroecosystems. The understanding of the biological components and processes that control this interaction is expected to improve crop productivity and monitor environmental quality. Our approach to tackle this complex system is to use genome-wide molecular and bioinformatic tool…
Zucchinni yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) of melon is controlled with resistant varieties. The access PI41427 is the principal source of resistance used in breeding programs and its resistance is controlled by the major dominant locus Zym-1, which is closely linked to the microsatellite marker CMAG36 located in the linkage group II. The literature indicates the possibility of the existence of …
The aim o our research group is to understand the genesis of ratoon stunting (RSD), a disease of sugarcane caused by the bacterium Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx). Recent transcriptomic analysis of young plants infected by Lxx (Thematic Project 2008/56296-2) suggested that the differential expression during the development of the plant of genes involved in the regulation of the cell cycl…

Melon crop is of significant economic importance in Brazil mainly because it is an export product. Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará are the major producer states where the occurrence of yellow mosaic, caused by the ZYMV virus, represents a problem. The most efficient way to control this disease is by using resistant varieties. The access PI414723 is the only source of resistance used in bree…
