Example sentences for: cyst
How can you use “cyst” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Sixty-four ESTs had significant homology to the putative fatty-acid-binding protein Sec-2, confirming the abundant expression of this gene reported in L2 cDNA libraries from M. incognita [ 29 ] and the cyst nematodes G. rostochiensis and G. pallida cDNA [ 30 ] . Sec-2 is secreted by plant-parasitic nematodes at relatively high levels [ 34 ] . Several abundantly expressed genes are also horizontal gene transfer candidates (see below).
Should a gene appear to be present in other closely related plant parasites, such as the cyst nematodes, the transfer event probably affected a common ancestor of the two families of parasitic nematodes (event 'a' in Figure 1).
MI00244.cl, for example, had homology to 47 ESTs in our collection from other Tylenchida species including root-knot nematodes M. javanica, M. hapla and M. arenaria , cyst nematodes H. glycines and G. rostochiensis , and the lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans with E-values from 7e-78 to 3e-05.
The most extensively studied HGT candidates are four genes encoding β-1,4-endoglucanase, initially identified in the cyst nematodes G. rostochiensis and H. glycines [ 18 19 ] . These four genes (NemaGene Contig IDs MI00537, MI01011, MI01381 and MI01842) [ 30 ] appear to define two sets of paralogs formed before divergence of the cyst and root-knot nematodes.
Included are 32,735 sequences from Meloidogyne species ( M. incognita 12,752, M. hapla 11,049, M. javanica 5,600, M. arenaria 3,334), as well as ESTs from cyst nematode species ( G. rostochiensis 5,934, H. glycines 4,327, G. pallida 1,832), and the lesion nematode ( P. penetrans 2,048).
