UTANT strains of Neurospora crassa that are unable to utilize inorganic sulfur, but which are capable of growth on minimal medium supplemented with either cysteine or methionine, are obtained readily. It is surprising, therefore, that little genetic information has been available for cysteine mutants of Neurospora, other than those located in linkage group VI (STADLER 1956a,b, 1959a,b; STADLER ...

The food grain supply chain (FGSC) is composed of several links, stretching from the point production to consumption. A broken connection might produce a catastrophe. structural imbalance India's FGSC an obstacle achieving sustainability; this has be addressed if country preserve national security. This present study aims develop systematic assessment risks and priority risk-mitigating solution...

1. The concentrations of folate-dependent enzymes in Neurospora crassa Lindegren A wild type (FGSC no. 853), Ser-l mutant, strain H605a (FGSC no. 118), and for mutant, strain C-24 (FGSC no. 9), were compared during exponential growth on defined minimal media. Both mutants were partially lacking in serine hydroxymethyltransferase, but contained higher concentrations of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate ...

We report the elucidation of the complete genome of the Neurospora crassa (Shear and Dodge) strain FGSC 73, a mat-a, trp-3 mutant strain. The genome sequence around the idiotypic mating type locus represents the only publicly available sequence for a mat-a strain. 40.42 Megabases are assembled into 358 scaffolds carrying 11,978 gene models.

Germline stem cell lines possess the abilities of self-renewal and differentiation, and have been established from both mouse and human ovaries. Here, we established a new female germline stem cell (FGSC) line from post-natal rats by immunomagnetic sorting for Fragilis, which showed a normal karyotype, high telomerase activity, and a consistent gene expression pattern of primordial germ cells a...

Monitoring changes in the prevalence of Fusarium species and toxin production is an important tool for integrated control head blight (FHB). However, methods high-throughput screening populations have been developed using isolates with limited geographic origins. In this study, we used species- trichothecene-specific primers to monitor F. graminearum complex (FGSC) originating from Serbia. We a...

Germline stem cells are essential in the generation of both male and female gametes. In mammals, the male testis produces sperm throughout the entire lifetime, facilitated by testicular germline stem cells. Oocyte renewal ceases in postnatal or adult life in mammalian females, suggesting that germline stem cells are absent from the mammalian ovary. However, studies in mice, rats, and humans hav...

The occurrence resistance to methyl benzimidazole carbamates (MBC)-fungicides in the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) is becoming a serious problem in the control of Fusarium head blight in China. The resistance is caused by point mutations in the β2-tubulingene. So far, five resistant genotypes (F167Y, E198Q, E198L, E198K and F200Y) have been reported in the field. To establish a hi...
