Biocontrol Agents in Signaling Resistance

, 2002
The mechanisms by which biological control agents suppress disease comprise competition for nutrients, notably iron, production of antibiotics, and secretion of lytic enzymes, as well as inducing resistance in the plant. The former three mechanisms act primarily on the pathogen by decreasing its activity, growth, and/or survival and require the ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of oleuropein diffusion in chitosan‐based nanoparticles

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study explores the diffusion mechanisms of oleuropein (OLE), a promising polyphenolic compound, within chitosan‐based nanoparticles using molecular dynamics simulations. Chitosan nanoparticles serve as drug delivery carriers, leveraging biocompatibility and tunable release properties influenced by environmental factors such as ...

Metabolomics‐based study of the preservation mechanism of a tea saponin–cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion applied to Xinyu tangerines

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The Xinyu tangerine is a geographical indication agricultural product from Jiangxi province, China. During postharvest storage, nutrient loss and pathogen‐induced decay reduce fruit quality. The selection of appropriate preservatives is therefore important for maintaining postharvest quality.

Heterozygous deletion of exon 17 of the Kit gene impairs mouse spermatogenesis by attenuating MAPK-ERK signaling

Biological Research
Background A splice mutation that causes skipping of exon 17 in the KIT gene is a major reason for the dominant white phenotype of pigs. Exon 17 of the KIT gene may be related to differences in testis size and sperm quality among different pig breeds ...

The role of alternative polyadenylation in the antiviral innate immune response

Nature Communications, 2017
RNA processing by alternative polyadenylation (APA) can result in 3′UTR diversity and regulation of target RNA function. Here the authors survey APA in viral infection of macrophages.

Involvement of PRRSV NSP3 and NSP5 in the autophagy process

Virology Journal, 2019
Background Autophagy is an essential process in eukaryotic cells in which autophagosomes form to deliver cellular organelles and long-lived proteins to lysosomes for degradation. Many studies have recently identified the regulatory mechanisms involved in

TOXORHYNCHITES AS BIOCONTROL AGENTS

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2007
Toxorhynchites is an unusual and interesting genus of large, non-biting mosquitoes. In spite of their size, they are--like many species of mosquitoes--completely harmless to man. The larvae are predaceous on other mosquitoes and aquatic organisms that inhabit both natural and artificial containers.

T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent
