Bt, Not a Threat to Propylea japonica

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Given the ever-increasing commercial planting of transgenic plants across the world, an evaluation of their impacts on non-target organisms is as an important part of the risk assessment process.

Identification of responsive genes and analysis of genes with bacterial-inducible cis-regulatory elements in the promoter regions in Oryza sativa L.

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2020
Bacterial blight of rice caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is one of the most critical diseases in rice.  In order to study rice responsive genes to bacterial stress, microarray data were retrieved from GEO dataset. To identify the responsive

Evolutionary Conservation of Bacterial Essential Metabolic Genes across All Bacterial Culture Media. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
One of the basic postulates of molecular evolution is that functionally important genes should evolve slower than genes of lesser significance. Essential genes, whose knockout leads to a lethal phenotype are considered of high functional importance, yet ...

Resistance Genes and their Interactions with Bacterial Blight/Leaf Streak Pathogens (Xanthomonas oryzae) in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)—an Updated Review

Rice, 2020
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food crop, feeding more than 50% of the world’s population. Diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens constantly threaten the rice production and lead to enormous yield losses.

Genomic and ecological attributes of marine bacteriophages encoding bacterial virulence genes

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Bacteriophages encode genes that modify bacterial functions during infection. The acquisition of phage-encoded virulence genes is a major mechanism for the rise of bacterial pathogens.

Bacterial protein interaction networks: connectivity is ruled by gene conservation, essentiality and function [PDF]

, 2020
Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are the backbone of all processes in living cells. In this work we relate conservation, essentiality and functional repertoire of a gene to the connectivity $k$ of the corresponding protein in the PPI networks ...

Bacterial autolysins trim cell surface peptidoglycan to prevent detection by the Drosophila innate immune system

eLife, 2014
Bacteria have to avoid recognition by the host immune system in order to establish a successful infection. Peptidoglycan, the principal constituent of virtually all bacterial surfaces, is a specific molecular signature recognized by dedicated host ...

Widespread transfer of mobile antibiotic resistance genes within individual gut microbiomes revealed through bacterial Hi-C

Nature Communications, 2020
The gut microbiome harbors a ‘silent reservoir’ of antibiotic resistance (AR) genes that is thought to contribute to the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). To counteract the spread of AR, it is paramount to

Xv4-vrxv4: A New Gene-for-Gene Interaction Identified Between Xanthomonas campestris pv. Vesicatoria Race T3 and the Wild Tomato Relative Lycopersicon pennellii

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000
Strains of tomato race 3 (T3) of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria elicit a hypersensitive response (HR) in leaves of Lycopersicon pennellii LA716.

The supragenic organization of glycoside hydrolase encoding genes reveals distinct strategies for carbohydrate utilization in bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are carbohydrate-active enzymes essential for many environmental (e.g., carbon cycling) and biotechnological (e.g., biofuels) processes.
