Regulatory mechanisms behind the phenotypic plasticity associated with Setaria italica water deficit tolerance
(Springer, 2022-05)Drought is one of the main environmental stresses that negatively impacts vegetative and reproductive yield. Water deficit responses are determined by the duration and intensity of the stress, which, together with plant ... -
CRISPR/Cas9 and genetic screens in malaria parasites : small genomes, big impact
(Portland Press, 2022-06)The ∼30 Mb genomes of the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria each encode ∼5000 genes, but the functions of the majority remain unknown. This is due to a paucity of functional annotation from sequence homology, which ... -
Pathogenesis and immunobiology of brucellosis : review of brucella-host interactions
(Elsevier, 2015-06)This review of Brucellaehost interactions and immunobiology discusses recent discoveries as the basis for pathogenesis-informed rationales to prevent or treat brucellosis. Brucella spp., as animal pathogens, cause human ... -
Multiple ways to evade the bacteriostatic action of glyphosate in rhizobia include the mutation of the conserved serine 90 of the nitrogenase subunit NifH to alanine
(Elsevier, 2022-07)The genome resequencing of spontaneous glyphosate-resistant mutants derived from the soybean inoculant E109 allowed identifying genes most likely associated with the uptake (gltL and cya) and metabolism (zigA and betA) of ... -
Insights into the xylan degradation system of Cellulomonas sp. B6 : biochemical characterization of rCsXyn10A and rCsAbf62A
(Springer, 2022)Valorization of the hemicellulose fraction of plant biomass is crucial for the sustainability of lignocellulosic biorefineries. The Cellulomonas genus comprises Gram-positive Actinobacteria that degrade cellulose and other ... -
RNAi Expression in Cotton for Control of Herbivorous Insects
(Springer, 2022)Cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is heavily attacked by various species of insects worldwide and breeding of new varieties resistant to pests is still a hard battle to win. RNAi technology is an important reverse ... -
Bacillus toyonensis biovar Thuringiensis: A novel entomopathogen with insecticidal activity against lepidopteran and coleopteran pests
(Elsevier, 2022-04)The Bacillus cereus group includes eight species: Bacillus anthracis, B. cereus, Bacillus cytotoxicus, Bacillus mycoides, Bacillus pseudomycoides, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus weihenstephanensis and Bacillus toyonensis, ... -
Genomic diversity in a population of Spodoptera frugiperda nucleopolyhedrovirus
(Elsevier, 2021-06)Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV) represents a strong candidate to develop environmental-friendly pesticides against the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), a widespread pest that poses a ... -
