RNAi technology development for weed control: all smoke and no fire?

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Despite the potential of Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing in weed management several critical points such as molecular target, weed species of interest as well as delivery techniques need to be addressed. Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) technology, specifically Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS), holds potential as an innovative approach for selective ...

New insights into the Tat protein transport cycle from characterizing the assembled Tat translocon

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 637-651, December 2022., 2022
The Tat translocon transports folded proteins via a unique and enigmatic mechanism. The translocon assembles transiently, only in the presence of a substrate, a protonmotive force, and only at native expression levels, and for this reason is exceedingly difficult to access experimentally.

Nuclear DNA endoreplication and plastid index in mesophyll of some dicotyledonous species

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Cytophotometric studies of nuclear DNA content after Feulgen procedure indicate that in mesophyll of all the seven studied species the highest nuclear DNA endoreplication level occurs in II or III leaf and it varies for particular species. No differences

Finding the Core-Genes of Chloroplasts [PDF]

Journal of Bioscience, Biochemistry, and Bioinformatics, 4(5):357--364, 2014, 2014
Due to the recent evolution of sequencing techniques, the number of available genomes is rising steadily, leading to the possibility to make large scale genomic comparison between sets of close species. An interesting question to answer is: what is the common functionality genes of a collection of species, or conversely, to determine what is specific ...

Next‐generation sequencing sheds new light on a major lineage of Acanthaceae, clarifying previously uncertain relationships in Barlerieae

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract The Acanthaceae tribe Barlerieae is an understudied lineage that consists of ca. 500 species, many of which are rare and range restricted. Though understudied, it is clear that many species play vital roles in tropical ecosystems, including supporting a wide range of pollinators and herbivores. The tribe contains 13 genera, the two largest and

The Mitochondrial Genome of Cathaya argyrophylla Reaches 18.99 Mb: Analysis of Super-Large Mitochondrial Genomes in Pinaceae [PDF]

arXiv
Mitochondrial genomes in the Pinaceae family are notable for their large size and structural complexity. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the mitochondrial genome of Cathaya argyrophylla, an endangered and endemic Pinaceae species, uncovering a genome size of 18.99 Mb, meaning the largest mitochondrial genome reported to date.

Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be

Hybrid Genetic Algorithm and Lasso Test Approach for Inferring Well Supported Phylogenetic Trees based on Subsets of Chloroplastic Core Genes [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The amount of completely sequenced chloroplast genomes increases rapidly every day, leading to the possibility to build large scale phylogenetic trees of plant species. Considering a subset of close plant species defined according to their chloroplasts, the phylogenetic tree that can be inferred by their core genes is not necessarily well supported ...

Multi‐omics reveal the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaption of small wild ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park, China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This research reveals the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaptation of wild small ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park. Unlike Tibetan sheep (TS), blue sheep (PN and Tibetan antelope (TA) often grazed low‐quality herbage in a wildness environment, and the higher microbial diversity and resilient network characteristics
