RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...

Insights Into the Role of Lysine Acetylation of Non‐Histone Proteins in Plant Immunity
ABSTRACT Plant immunity is regulated by numerous transcriptional and posttranslational mechanisms. Among these, lysine acetylation, which is controlled by lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and lysine deacetylases (KDACs), has been extensively studied, particularly in the context of epigenetic regulation through histone acetylation.

Structure-based analysis of domain function of chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase from Vibrio parahaemolyticus [PDF]
The X-ray crystal structure of chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase from Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp-COD) was determined at an 1.35Å resolution. The amino acid sequence and structure of Vp-COD show that the enzyme comprises one polysaccharide deacetylase ...

Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as Model Organisms in Biofactor Research
This review presents Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as powerful and ethically sound invertebrate model organisms that can be used to investigate nutritional science questions relating to biofactors. Such nutritional phenotyping studies can bridge the gap between in vitro studies and in vivo research in mammals.

Perspectives of Chitin Deacetylase Research
Chitin and chitosan are copolymers of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and D-glucosamine (GlcN) units linked with β-(1-4) glycosidic bond, where the predominant units are GlcNAc for chitin or GlcN for chitosan in their polymeric chains (Fig. 1).

Addition of abscisic acid increases the production of chitin deacetylase by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in submerged culture [PDF]
International audienceThe activity of chitin deacetylase from Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was studied by the addition of phytohormones (gibberellic acid, indole acetic acid, and abscisic acid) and amino sugars (glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine) in

Chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is an essential component of the fungal cell wall. Chitosan, a deacetylated form of chitin, is also important in maintaining cell wall integrity and is essential for Cryptococcus neoformans virulence.

RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.
