First report of pseudogenes of SABATH enzymes from xanthinesmetabolic pathway in Ilex paraguariensis ; Primer reporte de pseudogenes de enzimas SABATH de la vía metabólica de las xantinas en Ilex paraguariensis

Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil. is a dioecious tree native to the subtropical forests of South America, whose leaves and small branches are processed to prepare the stimulating and popular infusion known as “mate”. On the basis of the exploration, from the transcriptomic, genomic and phylogenetic perspective of the xanthine biosynthetic pathway, it was possible to discover pseudogenes through comparative analysis with other plants of agronomic importance. The transcripts of I. paraguariensis were analyzed using the elite material developed by INTA EAA-Cerro Azul de Misiones as reference genome an... Mehr ...
