Quantification of the biological control of aphids by their natural enemies in sugar beet crops

Biological Control
Conservation biological control system involves a diverse community of natural enemies that significantly regulate pests in crops. However, the relative contribution of these different functional groups of natural enemies to aphid regulation is poorly ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Biological control of invasive plant species: stochastic economic analysis

We analysed to what extent the stochastic effects of two biological control agents (i.e. weevils and mycoherbicides) affect the optimal choice of Californian thistle control.

Novel defenses of Protopulvinaria pyriformis (Hemiptera: Coccidea) against itsmajor parasitoid Metaphycus helvolus (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae): Implicationsfor biological control of soft scales

, 2012
Protopulvinaria pyriformis (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Coccidae), a scale native to South America, is a major pest of laurel, Laurus nobilis L., and a potential pest of other ornamental plants in urban green areas.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Exploring Fusarium Biocontrol, drought Tolerance, and plant growth promotion by Bacillus strains from Cuban wheat varieties

Biological Control
Members of the Bacillaceae family are recognized for their ability to promote plant growth under drought stress and for their capability to produce bioactive metabolites displaying antagonistic activity against phytopathogenic fungi.

The pyruvate generator is a common phenomenon in mitochondria from different rat and mouse brain regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The pyruvate generator, which causes activation of respiration by extra‐mitochondrial Ca2+, is also present and functional in rat brainstem mitochondria, as it is in other brain regions. This finding is confirmed by experiments with a fully reconstituted malate–aspartate shuttle (MAS).

Corynascella humicola, a root endophytic fungus from crabgrass, confers growth promotion and induced systemic resistance in gramineous plants

Biological Control
Root-habiting fungi have great potential for plant growth promotion (PGP) and induced systemic resistance (ISR) against pathogens. In the present study, we isolated a potentially beneficial fungus, Corynascella humicola CHDR1-1, from crabgrass roots ...

Endophytic bacteria and biological control of nematodes

, 2004
Endophytic bacteria colonize the internal host tissue as do sedentary endoparasitic nematodes, which makes them potential candidates for biological control of nematodes.
