Genome-Wide Transposon Screen of a Pseudomonas syringae mexB Mutant Reveals the Substrates of Efflux Transporters. [PDF]
Bacteria express numerous efflux transporters that confer resistance to diverse toxicants present in their environment. Due to a high level of functional redundancy of these transporters, it is difficult to identify those that are of most importance in ...

A New Resource for Research and Risk Analysis: The Updated European Food Safety Authority Database of Xylella spp. Host Plant Species [PDF]
Following a series of requests for scientific advice from the European Commission starting in 2013, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) conducted a pest risk assessment and created a comprehensive Xylella fastidiosa host plant database. The last update of the database, published in September 2018, includes information on host plants of both X ...

Host plant richness and abundance drive populations of a super‐generalist xylem‐feeding insect
Philaenus spumarius abundance was assessed across 93 sites and four habitat types (olive groves, vineyards, meadows, and field margins) within eight heterogeneous agricultural landscapes over the year. In spring, nymph abundance was positively associated with herbaceous plant species richness and vegetation cover, highlighting that even super ...

ABSTRACT Oak wilt, caused by Bretziella fagacearum, is a destructive vascular disease of oaks in North America, yet fine‐scale spatial localisation of the pathogen in host tissues and on insect vectors remains poorly characterised. In this study, we developed and validated a species‐specific fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) probe targeting the
