Species of the Botryosphaeriaceae Are Associated With Blackcurrant Dieback in New Zealand
We describe the isolation, identification and pathogenicity of species of the Botryosphaeriaceae associated with blackcurrant dieback in New Zealand. Diplodia seriata and D. mutila were the most prevalent species. ABSTRACT Dieback of blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum) is an increasing problem worldwide with several pathogens including the Botryosphaeriaceae ...

The linked units of 5S rDNA and U1 snDNA of razor shells (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pharidae) [PDF]
[Abstract] The linkage between 5S ribosomal DNA and other multigene families has been detected in many eukaryote lineages, but whether it provides any selective advantage remains unclear.

Genome-wide comparative analysis of annexin superfamily in plants. [PDF]
Most annexins are calcium-dependent, phospholipid-binding proteins with suggested functions in response to environmental stresses and signaling during plant growth and development. They have previously been identified and characterized in Arabidopsis and

Rickettsia spp. and Anaplasmataceae in Ticks From Domestic Animals in Northern Colombia
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick‐borne diseases have a significant impact on public and animal health and represent a considerable financial burden on livestock farming. However, in many regions of Latin America, comprehensive epidemiological data, including species identification, geographical distribution and molecular profiling of ticks and their ...

Reconstructing phylogenetic trees from multipartite quartet systems [PDF]
A phylogenetic tree is a graphical representation of an evolutionary history of taxa in which the leaves correspond to the taxa and the non-leaves correspond to speciations. One of important problems in phylogenetic analysis is to assemble a global phylogenetic tree from small phylogenetic trees, particularly, quartet trees. {\sc Quartet Compatibility}

Updates on Toll‐Like Receptor 10 Research
Toll‐like receptor 10 (TLR10 or CD290) shares the same structural organization as the other TLRs but shows a unique expression pattern and distinct functional activities yet to be fully elucidated. This review summarizes key steps and recent updates on TLR10 research including open questions and future perspectives.

Diversification of myco-heterotrophic angiosperms: evidence from Burmanniaceae. [PDF]
Background - Myco-heterotrophy evolved independently several times during angiosperm evolution. Although many species of myco-heterotrophic plants are highly endemic and long-distance dispersal seems unlikely, some genera are widely dispersed and have ...
