Rice yellow stunt rhabdovirus Protein 6 Suppresses Systemic RNA Silencing by Blocking RDR6-Mediated Secondary siRNA Synthesis

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2013
The P6 protein of Rice yellow stunt rhabdovirus (RYSV) is a virion structural protein that can be phosphorylated in vitro. However its exact function remains elusive.

Alterations in siRNA and miRNA expression profiles detected by deep sequencing of transgenic rice with siRNA-mediated viral resistance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
RNA-mediated gene silencing has been demonstrated to serve as a defensive mechanism against viral pathogens by plants. It is known that specifically expressed endogenous siRNAs and miRNAs are involved in the self-defense process during viral infection ...

Integrated transcriptome catalogue and organ-specific profiling of gene expression in fertile garlic (Allium sativum L.) [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Garlic is cultivated and consumed worldwide as a popular condiment and green vegetable with medicinal and neutraceutical properties. Garlic cultivars do not produce seeds, and therefore, this plant has not been the subject of either classical

Reduced Fecundity Associated with Wolbachia Infection in a Neotropical Drosophilid Redução da fecundidade associada à infecção por Wolbachia em um Drosofilídeo Neotropical

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Using multiple infected and uninfected Drosophila sturtevanti lines, we investigated (i) the impact of Wolbachia on fecundity and (ii) its effects relative to antibiotic treatment. Based on over 1680 dissected ovaries, fecundity was similar between infected and uninfected flies.

Identification of pathogenicity factors in the xylem-invading pathogen Xanthomonas albilineans by Transposon Mutagenesis [PDF]

, 2010
Xanthomonas albilineans is a systemic, xylem-invading pathogen that causes sugarcane leaf scald. Leaf symptoms vary from a single, white, narrow, sharply defined stripe to complete wilting and necrosis of infected leaves, leading to plant death.

Evidence for high dispersal ability and mito-nuclear discordance in the small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding dispersal ability in pest species is critical for both theoretical aspects of evolutionary and population biology and from a practical standpoint, such as implementing effective forecasting systems.

Sacubitril/Valsartan Attenuates Inflammation and Fibrosis Associated With Decreased Integrin α8 and Inhibits Hepatocarcinogenesis in a Rat Model of Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatohepatitis

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Sacubitril/Valsartan (Sac/Val) alleviates fibrosis and inflammation in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Its anti‐fibrotic effect is linked to the suppression of Integrin alpha 8 (Itga8), a protein crucial for hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and collagen production.

Occurrence of Ribotypes in Germany and Their Association with Different Host Plants and Viruses [PDF]

, 2016
The plasmodiophorid Polymyxa graminis transmits plant viruses to cereal crops such as wheat, rye, barley and triticale. Soil samples from different locations and cereal host plants were analyzed for the presence of P.

Starch synthesis in Brachypodium distachyon endosperm occurs in dynamic, connected amyloplast compartments

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The morphology of starch granules is a major determinant of the functional and nutritional properties of starch and is highly variable among cereal species. Much of this morphological variation stems from differences in the spatial and temporal patterns of starch granule initiation in amyloplasts during grain development.

Rice stripe virus-derived siRNAs play different regulatory roles in rice and in the insect vector Laodelphax striatellus

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Most plant viruses depend on vector insects for transmission. Upon viral infection, virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) can target both viral and host transcripts.
