Abstract:
plant pathology is the science that studies the causes of plant diseases, the mechanisms by which diseases develop in individual plants and in plant populations, and the ways and means by which plant diseases can be managed or controlled. Bioinformatics applies information technologies to the allied fields of agriculture, horticulture, forestry, biotechnology, microbiology, plant physiology and molecular biology. Bioinformatics devises strategies for data management, analysis and integration tools that enable rapid scientific discovery and informed decision making. In plant pathology, the ‘contemporary’ application stage of bioinformatics is typically after a pathogen has been identified as a causative agent for a given plant host and subjected to biotechnological studies. pathogenicity is defined as the capability of a pathogen to cause disease, and virulence is defined as "the degree of pathogenicity of a given pathogen. α-Tomatine is a saponin found in tomato plants, in high concentrations Many fungal pathogens of tomato produce extracellular enzymes(phytoanticipin), collectively known as tomatinase, that detoxify the preformed antifungal steroidal glycoalkaloid alpha- tomatine. In the present study, amino acid sequences related to proteins involved in tomatinase synthesis in several genera of fungi and bacteria plant pathogenic were extracted from databases and clustered by MEGA7 software. Comparison of sequences at different levels showed significant similarities and differences, including the placement of each gene in different clones and the similarity of sequences in the genera Clavibacter and Streptomyces, the similarity of sequences between species. Fusarium tricinctum, Colletotrichum truncatum as well as Clavibacter michiganensis. Given the importance of phytoanticipin, these differences and similarities may be candidates for further bioinformatics studies.
