The SlDOF9‐SlSWEET17 Module: a Switch for Controlling Sugar Distribution Between Nematode Induced Galls and Roots in Tomato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root‐knot nematode (RKN) disease seriously affects the yield and quality of vegetable crops. SlDOF9‐SlSWEET17 model helps plants resist RKN infection during early stage by switching off the sugar transport capacity of other SlSWEET proteins that are hijacked by RKNs.

Hotspots of genetic change in Yersinia pestis

Nature Communications
The relative contributions of mutation rate variation, selection, and recombination in shaping genomic variation in bacterial populations remain poorly understood. Here we analyze 3318 Yersinia pestis genomes, spanning nearly a century and including 2336

Plague history: Yersin's discovery of the causative bacterium in 1894 enabled, in the subsequent century, scientific progress in understanding the disease and the development of treatments and vaccines.

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2014
The causative bacterium of plague was described and cultured by Alexandre Yersin in Hong Kong in 1894, after which transmission of bacteria from rodents by flea bites was discovered by Jean-Paul Simond in 1898.

TCMD: A High‐Throughput and Rapid Method for Screening Antimicrobial Ingredients from Renewable Bio‐Based Resources

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a strategy to screen the active compounds from bio‐mixtures via combining transcriptomic profiling and molecular docking. The proposed method demonstrates 100% correction in three different biobased mixtures and is 3–20 times faster than traditional approaches.
