Design and optimisation of rapid real‐time PCR assays for the detection of key Culicoides species

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Species‐specific real‐time PCR assays were designed and optimised using primer/probe sets targeting C. obsoletus, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. punctatus and C. impunctatus. Primer specificity and amplification efficiency were validated through in silico specificity analysis and real‐time PCR amplification profiling.

Plant genetic and root‐associated microbial diversity modulate Lactuca sativa responsiveness to a soil inoculum under phosphate deficiency

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Leaf phosphate and shoot biomass variation in response to the microbial consortium. Summary Microbial‐based approaches offer a promising strategy to decrease the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture. Among them, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which extend root surface area and enhance phosphate uptake, and phosphate‐solubilizing bacteria ...

Tracing imprints of past climatic fluctuations and heterogeneous topography in Cynips quercusfolii (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) in Turkey

European Journal of Entomology, 2019
Cynips quercusfolii is an oak gall wasp species distributed across the western Palearctic region. In this study, C. quercusfolii adults were used to investigate the possible effects of past climatic fluctuations and topography on the genetic structure of

Isoprene‐Emitting Transgenic Tobacco Shapes Root Microbiome and Enhances Growth of Co‐Cultivated Non‐Emitting Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isoprene is the most abundant biogenic volatile organic compound emitted by terrestrial vegetation. Here we report the impact of isoprene on root‐associated microbiomes. Using isoprene‐emitting (IE) transgenic tobacco and isogenic non‐emitting (NE) controls, we performed co‐cultivation experiments in natural soil and analysed plant phenotypes ...

Water Deficit Does Not Compromise the Resistance to Insect Herbivores in Plants Associated With Fungal Endophytes Able to Produce Bioactive Alkaloids

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants growing in nature are exposed to multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that sometimes occur sequentially. We hypothesised that drought will not compromise the resistance levels to herbivores when plants are associated with Epichloë endophytes able to produce bioactive alkaloids. Lolium perenne plants without (nil) and with Epichloë LpTG‐

POLYMORPHISM AND INTERSPECIFIC VARIABILITY OF CYTOCHROME OXYDASE SUBUNIT I (COI) GENE NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE IN SIBLING SPECIES of A AND B Anopheles messeae AND An. beklemishevi (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE)

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2014
Species identification of159 individuals of the Anopheles maculipennis complex from 5 localities ofUral andSiberia was conductedbyPCR-RFLP ITS2. The DNA sequences ofa COI gene fragment were determinedin 124 individuals from the localities.

Using internally transcribed spacer 2 sequences to re-examine the taxonomic status of several cryptic species of Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2004
Mass releases of Trichogramma confusum Viggiani and T. maidis Pintureau & Voegele are widely used to control lepidopterous pests. They have long been considered to be the subspecies of T. chilonis Ishii and T. brassicae Bezdenko, respectively.

Advancing Symbiodiniaceae Functional Ecology Through a Trait-Based Framework. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are central to coral reef functioning, supporting primary production, nutrient cycling, calcification, and influencing coral thermal tolerance through intracellular symbiosis. Despite their ecological importance, these symbionts have not yet been incorporated into a formal functional ecology framework due to challenges ...

Ecological Filtering by Tuber Compartments Shapes Stable Core Microbiomes That Underpin Potato Plant Growth Across Environments

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Harnessing plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture requires understanding not only whether they can boost crop performance, but also how ecological processes govern their assembly, stability, and functional contributions across environments.
