Ultrastructural Insights Into a Candidatus Parilichlamydia sp. Infection of Gill Goblet Cells in Greater Amberjack

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite recent genomic studies and increased molecular data, epitheliocystis remains an enigmatic fish disease with no experimental in vitro or in vivo models to aid the advancement of research. In this study, we revert to a classical microscopical approach and screen with the electron microscope the epitheliocystis lesions caused by a Ca ...

Identification of two mutation sites in spike and envelope proteins mediating optimal cellular infection of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus from different pathways

Veterinary Research, 2017
Entry of the α-coronavirus porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) requires specific proteases to activate spike (S) protein for the membrane fusion of the virion to the host cell following receptor binding. Herein, PEDV isolate 85-7 could proliferate and

Identification of PpTHE1, a cell wall integrity sensor regulating the increased duration of harvest window in slow‐melting flesh peach, through the assembly of a chromosome‐level reference genome of Prunus persica

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Slow‐melting flesh (SMF) in peaches offers many advantages, including easy transportation, maintaining flavour after ripening, an extended harvest window, and reduced losses caused by fruit softening. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive.

MTS1 regulates rice plant architecture by mediating phosphoinositide metabolism

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Plant architecture is an agronomically important trait affecting grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Here, we identified a gene, Moderate‐tillering and Semi‐dwarf 1 (MTS1), which encodes a type II Inositol polyphosphate 5‐phosphatase (5PTase). Compared to the wild type, the mts1 mutant exhibited a significant reduction in plant height and an
