A Rare Allele of ST5 From Wild Rice Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel salt‐tolerance gene ST5W, characterized by a unique 36‐bp promoter insertion, is found exclusively in a small subset of Oryza rufipogon and is absent in cultivated rice. Field trials confirm ST5W significantly enhances rice yield across diverse genetic backgrounds under saline conditions.

Characterization of the natural variation in Arabidopsis thaliana metabolome by the analysis of metabolic [PDF]

, 2011
Metabolite fingerprinting is widely used to unravel the chemical characteristics of biological samples. Multivariate data analysis and other statistical tools are subsequently used to analyze and visualize the plasticity of the metabolome and/or the ...

Dissecting the Ecological Structure of Health and Disease in the Global Gut Microbiome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce Wiredancer, a framework that identifies three continuous ecological factors of the gut microbiota. These factors exhibit distinct patterns across health and disease, jointly capturing disrupted ecological stability and offering a new perspective for precision diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.

Non-targeted metabolom profiling of green flower buds in oil seed rape: Screening for resistance against the pollen beetle [PDF]

, 2017
The pollen beetle (Meligethes aeneus F.; Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) is one of the major insect pests of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.; Brassicaceae), with the potential of causing significant reductions in seed yield.

Antibiotic resistance in the environment, with particular reference to MRSA [PDF]

, 2008
The introduction of β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins) in the 1940s and 1950s probably represents the most dramatic event in the battle against infection in human medicine.

Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.

The Relationship between Structurally Different Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids and Western Flower Thrips Resistance in F2 Hybrids of Jacobaea vulgaros and Jacobaea aquatica [PDF]

, 2011
Segregating plant hybrids often have more ecological and molecular variability compared to parental species, and are therefore useful for studying relationships between different traits, and the adaptive significance of trait variation.

Complete genome of Escherichia coli sequence type 73 with acquired blaTEM-1 and high genotypic virulence load identified in human saliva

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Objectives: Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 73 is a pandemic lineage of the ExPEC (Extraintestinal Pathogenic E. coli) family associated with conserved virulence. We report the complete genome of a genomically hypervirulent E.

Transcription Factor Promiscuity Drives Regulatory Rewiring and Evolvability in Gene Networks in Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
When a master transcription factor (TF) is lost, bacteria can rapidly rewire gene regulatory networks by co‐opting related regulators. Using experimental evolution in Pseudomonas fluorescens, we show that TF promiscuity (low‐level, non‐cognate binding) provides the raw material for rewiring. Successful co‐option follows a predictable hierarchy governed

Ecology and Dispersal of the Bedbug [PDF]

, 2012
The global bedbug resurgence has left the scientific community racing to fill large gaps in our understanding of the biology and ecology of this forgotten pest. Studying the ecology of a species so closely associated with humans has inherent difficulties,
