Relay maize after tobacco enhances rapeseed growth and nutrition by reshaping soil microbial communities in an annual triple cropping system

Frontiers in Plant Science
Multiple cropping systems are increasingly being adopted worldwide to improve land-use efficiency and promote sustainable agriculture. To optimize the traditional post-tobacco fallow period, we evaluated a novel tobacco–maize–rapeseed (T_M_R) triple ...

Susceptibility of Tsetse Species to Glossina pallidipes Salivary Gland Hypertrophy Virus (GpSGHV)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Salivary gland hytrosaviruses (SGHVs, family Hytrosaviridae) are non-occluded dsDNA viruses that are pathogenic to some dipterans. SGHVs primarily replicate in salivary glands (SG), thereby inducing overt salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH) symptoms in ...
