Large-scale analysis reveals that the genome features of simple sequence repeats are generally conserved at the family level in insects

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Simple sequence repeats (SSR), also called microsatellites, have been widely used as genetic markers, and have been extensively studied in some model insects. At present, the genomes of more than 100 insect species are available.

Two Bombyx mori acetylcholinesterase genes influence motor control and development in different ways

Scientific Reports, 2017
Among its other biological roles, acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7), encoded by two ace in most insects, catalyses the breakdown of acetylcholine, thereby terminating synaptic transmission.

Distinct Biogeography of Different Fungal Guilds and Their Associations With Plant Species Richness in Forest Ecosystems

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Plant pathogens are increasingly considered as important agents in promoting plant coexistence, while plant symbionts like ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) can facilitate plant dominance by helping conspecific individuals to defend against plant pathogens ...

Burkholderia Phages and Control of Burkholderia-Associated Human, Animal, and Plant Diseases

Microorganisms
Gram-negative Burkholderia bacteria are known for causing diseases in humans, animals, and plants, and high intrinsic resistance to antibiotics. Phage therapy is a promising alternative to control multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Here, we present

Highly specific and super-sensitive Dot-ELISA and colloidal gold immunochromatographic strips for the detection of Burkholderia glumae and Burkholderia plantarii of Rice bacterial panicle blight

Crop Health
Burkholderia glumae (B. glumae) and Burkholderia plantarii (B. plantarii) are primary causal agents of rice bacterial panicle blight (RBPB) and cause substantial yield losses in rice worldwide.

Plant innate immunity against human bacterial pathogens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Certain human bacterial pathogens such as the enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica are not proven to be plant pathogens yet. Nonetheless, under certain conditions they can survive on, penetrate into, and colonize internal plant ...

Viral proteins resolve the virus-vector conundrum during hemipteran-mediated transmission by subverting salicylic acid signaling pathway

Nature Communications
Hemipteran insects transmit viruses when infesting plants, during which vectors activate salicylic acid (SA)-regulated antiviral defenses. How vector-borne plant viruses circumvent these antiviral defenses is largely unexplored.

The use of phosphates in forestry

Leśne Prace Badawcze, 2016
Phosphite preparations are now an important alternative in plant protection against new, invasive pathogens of the genus Phytophthora and/or Pythium. It is crucial to intervene when alien, invasive oomycetes are carried to plantations or forest stands ...
