Laboratory Information Management Software for genotyping workflows: applications in high throughput crop genotyping
Jayashree B, Reddy PT, Leeladevi Y, Crouch JH, Mahalakshmi V, Hutokshi, K Buhariwalla, Eshwar KE, Mace E, Folkertsma R, Senthilvel S, Varshney RK, Seetha K, Rajalakshmi R, Prasanth VP, Chandra S, Swarupa L, Srikalyani P and Hoisington DA (2006). Laboratory Information Management Software for genotyping workflows: applications in high throughput crop genotyping. BMC Bioinformatics 7:383. (DOI: 10.1186/1471-2105-7-383).
A laboratory information management system (LIMS) has been designed and implemented at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) that meets the requirements of a moderately high throughput molecular genotyping facility. The application is designed as modules and is simple to learn and use. The application leads the user through each step of the process from starting an experiment to the storing of output data from the genotype detection step with auto-binning of alleles; thus ensuring that every DNA sample is handled in an identical manner and all the necessary data are captured. The application keeps track of DNA samples and generated data. Data entry into the system is through the use of forms for file uploads. The LIMS provides functions to trace back to the electrophoresis gel files or sample source for any genotypic data and for repeating experiments. The LIMS is being presently used for the capture of high throughput SSR (simple-sequence repeat) genotyping data from the legume (chickpea, groundnut and pigeonpea) and cereal (sorghum and millets) crops of importance in the semi-arid tropics.

Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS sequences and conditions affecting the type of conidial germination of Bipolaris oryzae
Dela Paz MAG, Goodwin PH, Raymundo AK, Ardales EY, Vera Cruz CM (2006). Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS sequences and conditions affecting the type of conidial germination of Bipolaris oryzae. Plant Pathology 55(6):756–765. (DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-3059.2006.01439.x).
One taxonomic characteristic of Bipolaris species is the bipolar germination of conidia, but conidia of Bipolaris oryzae, the causal pathogen of brown spot in rice, are regularly observed to show intercalary germination, a characteristic of Drechslera species. The effect of selection, culture media and culture age on type of conidial germination was determined for three brown spot isolates from Cavinti, San Pablo and Palawan in the Philippines, obtained from infected leaves showing typical disease symptoms. Based on the analyses of their ITS1, ITS2 and 5·8S rDNA nucleotide sequences, the local isolates were clearly identified as B. oryzae. Selection for colonies of the three isolates derived from single conidia with either bipolar or intercalary germination had no effect on the number of spores showing bipolar germination in subsequent cultures. Germination on seven different culture media was tested; of these, rabbit food agar and water agar increased the percentage of bipolar germination of conidia, although this varied between isolates. Incubation of the cultures of all three isolates for longer periods prior to harvesting conidia increased the percentage of bipolar-germinating conidia from c. 40 to c. 90% with 5-day-old and 30-day-old cultures, respectively.
