Native Plasmid-Encoded Mercury Resistance Genes Are Functional and Demonstrate Natural Transformation in Environmental Bacterial Isolates. [PDF]
, 2019 Plasmid-mediated horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major driver of genetic diversity in bacteria. We experimentally validated the function of a putative mercury resistance operon present on an abundant 8-kbp native plasmid found in groundwater samples ...

Conserved defense responses between maize and sorghum to Exserohilum turcicum. [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND:Exserohilum turcicum is an important pathogen of both sorghum and maize, causing sorghum leaf blight and northern corn leaf blight. Because the same pathogen can infect and cause major losses for two of the most important grain crops, it is an

Human Genetic Resistance to Malaria
, 2008 This brief chapter highlights the need for caution when designing and interpreting studies aimed at seeking new genes that may be associated with malaria protection, or investigating the potential mechanisms for protection in promising candidates. Judging genetic effects on the basis of the wrong clinical phenotype and missing true protective genes ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Bacterial wilt resistance in tomato, eggplant and pepper : genetic resources challenged with the multifaceted Ralstonia solanacearum species complex : [P3-49] [PDF]
, 2010 Bacterial wilt caused by strains belonging to the #Ralstonia solanacearum# species complex inflicts severe economic losses in many crops worldwide. Host resistance remains the most effective control strategy against the bacterial wilt.

Genetics of infectious disease resistance
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 1996 The identification of large numbers of candidates genes and the introduction of methodologies for whole-genome screening have provided new opportunities for elucidating the molecular basis of variable susceptibility to major infectious diseases. 12 genes have been implicated in variable susceptibility to malaria and susceptibility/resistance genes for ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Meta‐transcriptome analysis identified FGF19 as a peptide enteroendocrine hormone associated with colorectal cancer prognosis. In vivo xenograft models showed release of FGF19 into the blood at levels that correlated with tumor volumes. Tumoral‐FGF19 altered murine liver metabolism through FGFR4, thereby reducing bile acid synthesis and increasing ...

Microbial Communities of the Providence River [PDF]
, 2015 The Providence River has been industrialized for over one-hundred years. Industries such as oil storage and metal recycling facilities have left high levels of pollutant metals, including lead (Pb), in the soil and water.
