Poplar bacteria project on Physorg

The Brookhaven team has been studying a species of bacteria isolated from the roots of poplar trees. “Poplar is a model species for biofuel production, in part because of its ability to grow on marginal soils unsuitable for food crops,” said scientist Daniel (Niels) van der Lelie, who leads the research program. Previous studies by… [Read More]

Poplar bacteria project on redOrbit

To find out what makes these microbe-plant interactions “tick,” scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory decoded the genome of a plant-dwelling microbe they’d previously shown could increase plant growth by 40 percent. Their studies, described online in PLoS Genetics, identified a wide range of genes that help explain this symbiotic… [Read More]

Poplar bacteria project on ScienceDaily

The Brookhaven team has been studying a species of bacteria isolated from the roots of poplar trees. “Poplar is a model species for biofuel production, in part because of its ability to grow on marginal soils unsuitable for food crops,” said scientist Daniel (Niels) van der Lelie, who leads the research program.

Poplar bacteria project on GenomeWeb

An international research team reports the draft sequence of the plant-growth promoting endophytic bacterium Enterobacter sp. 638 genome. Their annotations revealed a set of genes related to the plant niche adaptation of the bacterium, including those that code for survival in the rhizosphere, root adhesion, and establishment inside the plant, among others. Their findings also… [Read More]

DOE JGI involvement in Australian eucalyptus project

The international sequencing effort was initiated in 2007 by the Eucalyptus genome network, Eucagen, a consortium of Eucalyptus researchers from around the globe with support from the Community Sequencing Program at the US Department of Energy (DoE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI). Eucalyptus is only the second tree species in the world to have its genome… [Read More]

JGI Summer 2009 Primer now available for download

Featuring, in no particular order: Micromonas algae and the global carbon cycle the brown-rot fungus Postia placenta JGI researchers call for standards in genome sequencing and annotation at a conference in Santa Fe, NM studying the Great Salt Lake in Utah on JGI User Meeting keynotes by Chris Somerville, Craig Venter and George Church, plus… [Read More]

“Plant Microbe Shares Features with Drug-Resistant Pathogen”

Brookhaven Lab’s contribution to this study was supported by grants from DOE’s Office of Science, Laboratory Directed Research and Development funds, and by Royalty Funds at Brookhaven Lab under contract with DOE. Sequencing of R551-3 was performed at the DOE Joint Genome Institute. The rest of the story can be found here. [Read More]

“DOE JGI releases expanded version of Phytozome.net”

An enhanced version of Phytozome.net, a web portal for comparative plant genomics geared to advance biofuel, food, feed, and fiber research, has been released by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI). The rest of the story appears here. [Read More]

The First Tree Genome is Published

In Science, the first complete DNA sequence of a tree – the black cottonwood or Populus trichocarpa – lays the groundwork that may lead to feedstock for a new generation of biofuels. [Read More]
