Isolation and fine mapping of Rps6: An intermediate host resistance gene in barley to wheat stripe rust [PDF]

, 2016
A plant may be considered a nonhost of a pathogen if all known genotypes of a plant species are resistant to all known isolates of a pathogen species. However, if a small number of genotypes are susceptible to some known isolates of a pathogen species ...

SELECTION FOR HOST MODIFICATION BY INSECT PARASITOIDS [PDF]

Evolution, 1982
The ability of parasites to influence the behavior of their hosts is an important aspect of parasite-host biology (Price, 1980). Holmes and Bethel (1972) review an extensive literature that documents the influence of parasites on the behavior of their intermediate hosts.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Effect of host and non-host plant volatiles on pheromone- mediated orientation in the beech bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Broadleaf-feeding bark beetles remain far less studied than conifer-infesting species, particularly with respect to their semiochemical orientation and host selection.

Volatile profiles of three tree species in the northeastern China and associated effects on Sirex noctilio activity

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2019
The wood-boring wasp, Sirex noctilio, is an invasive pest of numerous species of pine trees worldwide. The female S. noctilio wasps selectively lay eggs on different pine trees.

Butterfly Learning and the Diversification of Plant Leaf Shape

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Visual cues are important for insects to find flowers and host plants. It has been proposed that the diversity of leaf shape in Passiflora vines could be a result of negative frequency dependent selection driven by visual searching behavior among their ...

Holobiont Evolution: Mathematical Model with Vertical vs. Horizontal Microbiome Transmission [PDF]

, 2020
A holobiont is a composite organism consisting of a host together with its microbiome, such as a coral with its zooxanthellae. To explain the often intimate integration between hosts and their microbiomes, some investigators contend that selection ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

DIRECTED EVOLUTION: SELECTION OF THE HOST ORGANISM

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2012
Directed evolution has become a well-established tool for improving proteins and biological systems. A critical aspect of directed evolution is the selection of a suitable host organism for achieving functional expression of the target gene. To date, most directed evolution studies have used either Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a host;

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
