SPECIFIC PATTERNS OF GENE SPACE ORGANISATION REVEALED IN WHEAT BY USING THE COMBINATION OF BARLEY AND WHEAT GENOMIC RESOURCES

Specific patterns of gene space organisation revealed in wheat by using the combination of barley and wheat genomic resources

Abstract Background Because of its size, allohexaploid nature and high repeat content, the wheat genome has always been perceived as too complex for efficient molecular studies.We recently constructed the first physical map of a wheat chromosome (3B).However gene mapping is still laborious in wheat because of high redundancy between the three homoe

The impact of autophagy on arbovirus infection of mosquito cells.

Macroautophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular process critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis.It can additionally function as an innate immune response to viral infection as has been demonstrated for a number of arthropod-borne (arbo-) viruses.Arboviruses are maintained in a transmission cycle between vertebrate hosts and invertebrat
