Rapid, early, and potent Spike-directed IgG, IgM, and IgA distinguish asymptomatic from mildly symptomatic COVID-19 in Uganda, with IgG persisting for 28 months

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionUnderstanding how spike (S)-, nucleoprotein (N)-, and RBD-directed antibody responses evolved in mild and asymptomatic COVID-19 in Africa and their interactions with SARS-CoV-2 might inform development of targeted treatments and vaccines ...

Genetic Mapping of a new Hippo allele, HpoN.1.2, in Drosophila melanogaster

microPublication Biology, 2021
Genetic screens provide a mechanism to identify genes involved with different cellular and organismal processes. Using a Flp/FRT screen in the Drosophila eye we identified mutations that result in alterations and de-regulation of cell growth and division.

Novel allele elh of the UBP14 gene affects plant organ size via cell expansion in Arabidopsis thaliana.

microPublication Biology, 2021
Plant organ size control is an essential process of plant growth and development. The regulation of plant organ size involves a complicated network of genetic, molecular interactions, as well as the interplay of environmental factors.

Drosophila melanogaster larvae are tolerant to oral infection with the bacterial pathogen Photorhabdus luminescens

microPublication Biology, 2023
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model for dissecting the molecular and functional bases of bacterial pathogenicity and host antibacterial immune response.

The nematode parasite Steinernema hermaphroditum is pathogenic to Drosophila melanogaster larvae without activating their immune response

microPublication Biology, 2023
Entomopathogenic nematodes are commonly used to control insect pest populations in the field. They also contribute substantially to understanding the molecular basis of nematode pathogenicity and insect anti-nematode immunity.

Guard-cell phytochromes impact seedling photomorphogenesis and rosette leaf morphology

microPublication Biology, 2022
Using a previously established transgenic approach to inactivate phytochrome chromophore synthesis in specific organs or tissues, we used a guard cell-specific promoter to induce phytochrome deficiencies in guard cells of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Arabidopsis weep mutants exhibit narrow root angles

microPublication Biology, 2022
Peach (Prunus persica) trees with a mutation in the weep gene exhibit a weeping branch phenotype. In contrast, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) weep mutants do not have a shoot architecture phenotype.

Endoreplication in the Drosophila melanogaster prothoracic gland is dispensable for the critical weight checkpoint

microPublication Biology, 2023
Critical weight (CW) attainment is a key life event in the development of holometabolous insects including Drosophila melanogaster. It indicates that sufficient growth has occurred to initiate the juvenile-to-adult transition. The prothoracic gland (PG),

Additional green light induces shade response symptoms in Brassica rapa as evidenced by increased lateral root spread

microPublication Biology, 2022
In some plant species, green light (500 to 570 nm) has been shown to act as a shade signal, which stimulates non-photosynthetic photoreceptors to initiate a response that promotes shading symptoms, including lateral root formation.

Studies of Myc super-competition and clonal growth in Drosophila males and females

microPublication Biology, 2021
Cell competition is a cell selection process that arises in growing tissues as a result of interactions between cells of different fitness. This behavior is also observed in Myc super-competition, where healthy wild type cells in growing wing discs of ...
