Effects of filtration and alpha-amylase depletion on salivary biochemical composition measurements.

PLoS ONE, 2023
The effects of filtration (F) and alpha-amylase depletion (AD) were assessed in n = 34 saliva samples. Each saliva sample was split into three aliquots and treated as follows: (1) no treatment; (2) 0.45μm commercial filter; and (3) 0.45μm commercial ...

Multi-copy alpha-amylase genes are crucial for Ditylenchus destructor to parasitize the plant host.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Ditylenchus destructor is a migratory plant-parasitic nematode that causes huge damage to global root and tuber production annually. The main plant hosts of D. destructor contain plenty of starch, which makes the parasitic environment of D. destructor to
