Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide

Enhancing Microrobot Swarm Stability and Adaptation by Autonomous Field‐of‐View Planning
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work presents an adaptive cross‐field‐of‐view navigation strategy for microrobot swarms in large‐scale workspaces by integrating global path planning via A* and local replanning using optimized informed rapidly‐exploring random tree star . The hybrid approach ensures efficient and robust trajectory execution in dynamic environments, enhancing the ...

Surface appendages of bacterial spores [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2006 SummaryBacilli and Clostridia generate dormant, highly resistant cells, called spores, in response to stress. Spores of many species are decorated by morphologically diverse structures of unknown function called appendages that have yet to be studied at the molecular level. In this issue, Walker et al. employ reverse genetics to identify genes encoding

Biological control and biomass evaluation of Botrytis cinerea : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1998 The efficacy of biocontrol agents is often judged by symptom development on inoculated plants. This process can involve long delays, as with Botrytis infection of kiwifruit and an alternative, quicker approach would be useful.

The Bacillus subtilis signaling protein SpoIVB defines a new family of serine peptidases [PDF]
, 2002 The protein SpoIVB plays a key role in signaling in the sigma (K) checkpoint of Bacillus subtilis. This regulatory mechanism coordinates late gene expression during development in this organism and we have recently shown SpoIVB to be a serine peptidase ...
