The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

First detection of apple proliferation and pear decline phytoplasmas in Luxembourg
Abstract The present article reports the first detection of the apple proliferation and pear decline phytoplasmas (‘Candidatus Phytoplasma mali’ and ‘Ca. P. pyri’, respectively) in Luxembourg. These phytoplasmas, belonging to the 'Apple Proliferation group' 16SrX, are causing severe losses in European fruit tree production, respectively, on apple ...
