RNAi in the Rhizarian Phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae: The Causal Agent of Clubroot Disease in Cruciferous Crops. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.

1:1 FASTA update: Using the power of E-values in FASTA to detect potential allergen cross-reactivity
Toxicology Reports, 2015 In the context of regulatory assessment of transgenic proteins for potential allergenicity, a previous investigation demonstrated that a 1:1 FASTA comparison using an E-value of 1.0E-09 as a criterion is superior to the conventional FASTA search (using ...

Analysis of benefic entomofauna in transgenic and conventional corn crops, Córdoba-Colombia
Temas Agrarios, 2018 The adoption of genetically modified crops (GMOs) has led to the need to assess impacts on non-target organisms. For this, the impact of transgenic maize (Zea mays) on beneficial entomofauna was studied.

Pharmaceutical crops have a mixed outlook in California
California Agriculture, 2007 Crops are being genetically engineered to produce a wide variety of drugs, vaccines and other pharmaceutical proteins. Although these crops may open the door to less expensive and more-readily available drugs, there is concern regarding

Expression of Cry1Ab and Cry2Ab by a polycistronic transgene with a self-cleavage peptide in rice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Insect resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal protein is a major threat to the long-term use of transgenic Bt crops. Gene stacking is a readily deployable strategy to delay the development of insect resistance while it may also broaden ...
