Ustiloxins and Ustilaginoidins in the Sclerotia Generated from Rice False Smut Balls and Their Contents

Toxins
Rice false smut (RFS) caused by the ascomycete Ustilaginoidea virens (teleomorph: Villosiclava virens) is a destructive fungal disease all over the world. The RFS balls are ball-like colonies transformed from individual grains through the infection of U.

Genetic variants of EcPV2 E6 and E7 in equine genital and oronasal squamous cell carcinoma

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Since its discovery in 2008, equine papillomavirus type 2 (EcPV2) has been detected in up to 100% of equine genital and up to 40% of equine oronasal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Preliminary sequence data point to the existence of EcPV2 E6 and E7 oncogene variants compared to the British reference sequence from 2008.

Transforming the Landscape of Drug Innovation in AI Era: AlphaFold 3 and Beyond

Exploration, EarlyView.
Traditional drug development is time‐consuming and costly, and new tools are urgently needed to improve efficiency. This perspective reviews the considerable potential of AlphaFold 3 as a next‐generation predictive tool for drug discovery, particularly in target identification and validation, hit identification and lead optimization, and personalized ...

Effects of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts on Growth Performance, Intestinal Health, and Organ Morphometry of Broiler Chickens

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
The fermentation of molasses‐vinasse with lactic acid bacteria and yeasts improves growth, intestinal health, digestive, and immune organs in chickens, promoting their productive performance and organic development. ABSTRACT This study evaluated the probiotic effects of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts on productive parameters, intestinal health, and ...

Biosecurity Implications of New Technology and Discovery in Plant Virus Research

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Human activity is causing new encounters between viruses and plants. Anthropogenic interventions include changing land use, decreasing biodiversity, trade, the introduction of new plant and vector species to native landscapes, and changing atmospheric and climatic conditions.

Domesticated bacterial origin genes regulate homeostasis of the insect gut microbiome and empower adaptation

iMeta, EarlyView.
Horizontal gene transfer introduced bacterial CDC genes into the leafhopper genome, providing genetic material for subsequent evolutionary innovation. Different CDC copies diversified at the sequence, structural, and functional levels. RdCDC3 retained its ancestral pore‐forming activity and was recruited for egg defense, whereas RdCDC9 lost its ...

Analysis of plant science higher education reveals mixed provision which falls short of delivering national priorities

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 78-90, March 2025.
Abstract Background Many reports from the UK government and other organisations highlight a need for a plant aware workforce, and some enumerate specific areas of plant science where there is a skills shortage. We have undertaken a systematic analysis of the content of degree programmes that advertise as teaching plant biology to determine if the UK ...
