Degree Of Similarity

Bioinformatics has made possible the identificationand comparisonof nucleotide sequences responsible for the production of antioxidants compounds in plants by using genomic public accessdatabases and several applicationsable to alignsequencesfrom different species. The present study analyzed the nucleotide sequences ofthe genes for ascorbate and lycopene, known for its antioxidant action, in order to verify which species these substances havealready been identified as well as tocompare them through cladograms, observing the degree of similarity between thespeciesandtheirphylogenetic relationships.It was built the representation of similarity matrix from the genes, which might reflect the evolution of the remaining characters. This report shows the viability of the methodology, and providesa basis for more advanced studies about the phylogenetic relationships among the species

Nodulation Specificity

A hypervariable region of Rhizobium 23S rDNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and phylogenetic relationships of several strains were determined by comparing nucleotide sequences of the amplified product. Variation in the 23S rDNA nucleotide sequences was consistent with phylogenetic relationships determined by host nodulation specificity and (or) 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Six strains representing three Rhizobium species (R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii, R. meliloti, and R. etli), and two strains each of Bradyrhizobium and Agrobacterium were clustered into five rDNA groups. Unique features identified by secondary structure analysis of the 23S rRNA sequenced region were consistent with the hypothesis that 23S rDNA could be used to design species- or strain-specific Rhizobium probes.Key words: Rhizobium, rDNA, strain identification, phylogeny.
