Revisiting Target‐Aware de novo Molecular Generation with TarPass: Between Rational Design and Texas Sharpshooter [PDF]
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 40, 17 July 2026.TarPass provides a rigorous benchmark for target‐aware de novo molecular generation by jointly evaluating protein‐ligand interactions, molecular plausibility, and drug‐likeness on 18 well‐studied targets. Results show that current models often fail to consistently surpass random baseline in target‐specific enrichment, while post hoc multi‐tier virtual ...

Egg-laying and brochosome production observed in glassy-winged sharpshooter [PDF]
California Agriculture, 2001 Glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS) females form white spots on the forewings from secretions of ultramicroscopic bodies known as brochosomes. This occurs after mating of the GWSS and just prior to egg laying. The first published reports of wing spots were

Metagenome-Assembled Genomes of Bacterial Symbionts Associated with Insecticide-Resistant and -Susceptible Individuals of the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis) [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2022 The role of microbes in insecticide resistance is an emerging question. Here, we describe six metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) associated with the glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis [Germar, 1821]) (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae).

Introduced parasitic wasps could control glassy-winged sharpshooter [PDF]
California Agriculture, 2005 The glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS) is an introduced pest that spreads the bacterium Xylella fastidi-osa, which causes a variety of diseases such as Pierce's disease in grapevines and leaf scorch in oleanders.

Insecticides sought to control adult glassy-winged sharpshooter [PDF]
California Agriculture, 2001 The bacterium that causes Pierce's disease (Xylella fastidiosa) is transmitted to grapevines by the glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS). Insecticides were evaluated for efficacy and residual activity against adult GWSS on grapevines.

Functional anatomy of the sharpshooter precibarial valve supports its role in probing behaviors that control inoculation of Xylella fastidiosa [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe precibarial valve is a tiny structure in the functional foregut (cibarium and precibarium) of hemipteran insects. Piercing-sucking insects like hemipterans use straw-like mouth parts (stylets) to ingest fluid from plant vascular cells like phloem or ...
