Bacterial fitness for plant colonization is influenced by plant growth substrate

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Despite advances in our understanding of bacterial plant colonization, the extent to which growth substrate influences the molecular mechanisms enabling bacteria to efficiently colonize plants remains poorly understood. To address this, we used randomly barcoded transposon mutagenesis sequencing (RB‐TnSeq) in Paraburkholderia graminis OAS925 ...

Genomic Insights Into the Treponema Genus: Taxonomic Resolution of Treponema vincentii and Description of Two Novel Species, Treponema plautii sp. nov. and Treponema sinense sp. nov.

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Periodontal disease, a global health concern, is strongly associated with oral treponemes. However, the taxonomy of some species remains unresolved, hindering our understanding of their roles in disease. This study aims to clarify the taxonomy of three strains isolated from patients with periodontal disease using phylogenomic and ...

Social beneficence

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
Abstract A background assumption in much contemporary political philosophy is that justice is the first virtue of social institutions, taking priority over other values such as beneficence. This assumption is typically treated as a methodological starting point, rather than as following from any particular moral or political theory.

Descriptron: Artificial intelligence for automating taxonomic species descriptions with a user‐friendly software package

Systematic Entomology, EarlyView.
Descriptron is a GUI that integrates AI to automate species descriptions. Descriptron provides geometric morphometrics and colour patterns. Images and morphometrics are used as prompts for Vision‐Language Model descriptions. Abstract Recent advances in Computer Vision, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Vision Transformers (ViTs) and Large Language ...

Metaphors and the Invention of Writing

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The foundation of ancient, invented writing systems lies in the predominant iconicity of their sign shapes. However, these shapes are often used not for their referential meaning but in a metaphorical way, whereby one entity stands for another.
