Genomic insight into the scale specialization of the biological control agent Novius pumilus (Weise, 1892)

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2022
Background Members of the genus Novius Mulsant, 1846 (= Rodolia Mulsant, 1850) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae), play important roles in the biological control of cotton cushion scale pests, especially those belonging to Icerya.

Importance of temperature for the performance and biocontrol efficiency of the parasitoid Perilitus brevicollis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on Salix

open access: yes, 2012
With the prospect of warmer temperatures as a consequence of ongoing climate change, it is important to investigate how such increases will affect parasitoids and their top-down suppression of herbivory in agroecosystems.

Polycationic Peptide Engineering of Phage Endolysins Expands Host Range and Enhances Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities Against Bacillus Species

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exponential rise in antimicrobial resistance has highlighted the urgent need for the development of alternative antibacterial strategies, including phage‐derived and engineered protein agents such as endolysins and artilysins. In this study, we report the rational design, expression, and functional characterization of novel artilysins ...

Genome comparison of long-circulating field CnmeGV isolates from the same region

open access: yesVirus Research
Cnaphalocrocis medinalis granulovirus (CnmeGV), belonging to Betabaculovirus cnamedinalis, can infect the rice pest, the rice leaf roller. In 1979, a CnmeGV isolate, CnmeGV-EP, was collected from Enping County, China. In 2014, we collected another CnmeGV

PEDV enters cells through clathrin-, caveolae-, and lipid raft-mediated endocytosis and traffics via the endo-/lysosome pathway

open access: yesVeterinary Research, 2020
With the emergence of highly pathogenic variant strains, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) has led to significant economic loss in the global swine industry. Many studies have described how coronaviruses enter cells, but information on PEDV invasion

Nutritional niche overlap potentiates the use of endophytes in biocontrol of a tree disease

open access: yes, 2015
Asymptomatic endophytic fungi are often regarded as potent biocontrol agents in plants, but the competitive interactions between endophytes and other microbes within the same host plant are poorly understood.

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.
