Lignocellulosic substrates are the largest source of fermentable sugars for bioconversion to
fuel ethanol and other valuable compounds. To improve the economics of biomass …

This review examines the applications of omics technologies in food microbiology, with a
primary focus on high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies. We discuss the different …

Tolerance to high levels of ethanol is an ecologically and industrially relevant phenotype of
microbes, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this complex trait remain largely …

Map** the genetic basis of complex traits is critical to uncovering the biological
mechanisms that underlie disease and other phenotypes. Genome-wide association studies …

Background Acetic acid is one of the major inhibitors in lignocellulose hydrolysates used for
the production of second-generation bioethanol. Although several genes have been …

Background During the final phases of bioethanol fermentation, yeast cells face high ethanol
concentrations. This stress results in slower or arrested fermentations and limits ethanol …

The brewer's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae displays a much higher ethanol tolerance
compared to most other organisms, and it is therefore commonly used for the industrial …

The ascomycete Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of Septoria leaf blotch on wheat.
Disease control relies mainly on resistant wheat cultivars and on fungicide applications. The …

Most plant traits are governed by polygenes including both major and minor genes. Linkage
map** and positional cloning have contributed greatly to map** genomic loci …

Key message Two QTL map** approaches were used to identify a total of six QTL
associated with Phytophthora root and crown rot resistance in a biparental squash …
