RNAi for Western Corn Rootworm Management: Lessons Learned, Challenges, and Future Directions
Insects, 2022 The western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, is considered one of the most economically important pests of maize (Zea mays L.) in the United States (U.S.) Corn Belt with costs of management and yield losses exceeding USD ~1–2 ...

Insecticide resistance management scenarios differ for RNA-based sprays and traits. [PDF]
Insect Mol BioldsRNA insecticides are developed as transgenic traits or sprays. IRM for dsRNA traits is based on stacked modes of action and a refuge. IRM for dsRNA sprays is based on rotating dsRNA with different modes of action insecticides. Abstract RNA‐based bioinsecticides that comprise a dsRNA active ingredient and function by RNA interference (RNAi) are being ...

Analysis of Genetic Variation of Rice Straw Characteristics and Its Influence on Biomass. [PDF]
Plant DirectABSTRACT Rice straw is a key source of lignocellulosic biomass. GWAS can be used to identify genetic loci controlling stem morphological traits that influence biomass. This study aimed to investigate the genotypic diversity of rice straw internodes through GWAS, using 34,232 single‐nucleotide polymorphic sites with a minor allelic frequency (MAF ...

Using <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> to Analyse the Human Paralogs of the ESCRT-III Core Component Shrub/CHMP4/Snf7 and Its Interactions with Members of the LGD/CC2D1 Family. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 The evolutionary conserved ESCRT-III complex is a device for membrane remodelling in various cellular processes, such as the formation of intraluminal vesicles (ILVs), cytokinesis, and membrane repair. The common theme of all these processes is the abscission of membrane away from the cytosol. At its heart in Drosophila is Shrub, CHMP4 in humans, which

ESCRT-III Protein Snf7 Mediates High-Level Expression of the SUC2 Gene via the Rim101 Pathway [PDF]
Eukaryotic Cell, 2008 ABSTRACT The yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) Snf7 family consists of six highly charged, coiled-coil-forming proteins involved in multivesicular body (MVB) formation. Although all proteins perform a common function at late endosomes, individual mutants also show distinct phenotypes.

ESCRT-III activation by parallel action of ESCRT-I/II and ESCRT-0/Bro1 during MVB biogenesis
eLife, 2016 The endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) pathway facilitates multiple fundamental membrane remodeling events. Previously, we determined X-ray crystal structures of ESCRT-III subunit Snf7, the yeast CHMP4 ortholog, in its active and ...

Electrostatic lateral interactions drive ESCRT-III heteropolymer assembly
eLife, 2019 Self-assembly of ESCRT-III complex is a critical step in all ESCRT-dependent events. ESCRT-III hetero-polymers adopt variable architectures, but the mechanisms of inter-subunit recognition in these hetero-polymers to create flexible architectures remain ...
