Draft genome sequence of Photorhabdus luminescens strain DSPV002N isolated from Santa Fe, Argentina
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Photorhabdus luminescens strain DSPV002N, which consists of 177 contig sequences accounting for 5,518,143 bp, with a G+C content of 42.3% and 4,701 predicted protein-coding genes ... -
Draft genome sequences of two bacillus thuringiensis strains and characterization of a putative 41.9-kDa insecticidal toxin
In this work, we report the genome sequencing of two Bacillus thuringiensis strains using Illumina next-generation sequencing technology (NGS). Strain Hu4-2, toxic to many lepidopteran pest species and to some mosquitoes, ... -
Early development of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita
Background: Detailed descriptions of the early development of parasitic nematodes are seldom available. The embryonic development of the plant-parasitic nematode Meloidogyne incognita was studied, focusing on the early ... -
Ecophysiological roles of abaxial anthocyanins in a perennial understorey herb from temperate deciduous forests
Accumulation of abaxial anthocyanins is an intriguing leaf trait particularly common among deeply shaded understorey plants of tropical and temperate forests whose ecological significance is still not properly understood. To ... -
Ectopic expression of the AtCDF1 transcription factor in potato enhances tuber starch and amino acid contents and yield under open field conditions
Introduction: cycling Dof transcription factors (CDFs) have been involved in different aspects of plant growth and development. In Arabidopsis and tomato, one member of this family (CDF1) has recently been associated with ... -
Effect of feeding regime on composting in bins
Composting in bins is one of the most practical home composting methods. There is currently a need for greater information to improve the management of the composting process and to create home composting programs, which ... -
Effect of transcriptional activators SoxS, RobA, and RamA on expression of multidrug efflux pump AcrAB-TolC in enterobacter cloacae
Control of membrane permeability is a key step in regulating the intracellular concentration of antibiotics. Efflux pumps confer innate resistance to a wide range of toxic compounds such as antibiotics, dyes, detergents, ... -
An effort to make sense of antisense transcription in bacteria
Analysis of bacterial transcriptomes have shown the existence of a genome-wide process of overlapping transcription due to the presence of antisense RNAs, as well as mRNAs that overlapped in their entire length or in some ... -
Elevated CO2 improved the growth of a double nitrate reductase defective mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana: the importance of maintaining a high energy status
Impairments in leaf nitrogen (N) assimilation in C3 plants have been identified as processes conditioning photosynthesis under elevated [CO2], especially when N is supplied as nitrate. Leaf N status is usually improved ... -
Enhanced yield of pepper plants promoted by soil application of volatiles from cell-free fungal culture filtrates is associated with activation of the beneficial soil microbiota
Plants communicate with microorganisms by exchanging chemical signals throughout the phytosphere. Such interactions are important not only for plant productivity and fitness, but also for terrestrial ecosystem functioning. ... -
Enhancing the expression of starch synthase class IV results in increased levels of both transitory and long-term storage starch
Starch is an important renewable raw material with an increasing number of applications. Several attempts have been made to obtain plants that produce modified versions of starch or higher starch yield. Most of the approaches ... -
The enterococcal surface protein, Esp, is involved in Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formation
The enterococcal surface protein, Esp, is a high-molecular-weight surface protein of unknown function whose frequency is significantly increased among infection-derived Enterococcus faecalis isolates. In this work, a ... -
Estimating peanut and soybean photosynthetic traits using leaf spectral reflectance and advance regression models
One proposed key strategy for increasing potential crop stability and yield centers on exploitation of genotypic variability in photosynthetic capacity through precise high-throughput phenotyping techniques. Photosynthetic ... -
Evaluation of a Salmonella strain lacking the secondary messenger c-di-GMP and RpoS as a live oral vaccine
Salmonellosis is one of the most important bacterial zoonotic diseases transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food, with chicken and pig related products being key reservoirs of infection. Although numerous ... -
Evaluation of surface microtopography engineered by direct laser interference for bacterial anti-biofouling
Biofilm formation by bacterial pathogens on the surface of medical and industrial settings is a 25 serious health problem. Modification of the biomaterial surface topography is a promising 26 strategy to prevent bacterial ... -
Evaluation of the anti-nitrative effect of plant antioxidants using a cowpea Fe-superoxide dismutase as a target
Nitric oxide cytotoxicity arises from its rapid conversion to peroxynitrite (ONOO) in the presence of superoxide, provoking functional changes in proteins by nitration of tyrosine residues. The physiological significance ... -
Expression analysis of lung miRNAs responding to ovine VM virus infection by RNA-seq
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short endogenous, single-stranded, noncoding small RNA molecules of approximately 22 nucleotides in length. They regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally by silencing mRNA expression, ... -
Expression of a peroral infection factor determines pathogenicity and population structure in an insect virus
A Nicaraguan isolate of Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus is being studied as a possible biological insecticide. This virus exists as a mixture of complete and deletion genotypes; the latter depend on ... -
Expression of the biofilm-associated protein interferes with host protein receptors of Staphylococcus aureus and alters the infective process
The adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to soluble proteins and extracellular-matrix components of the host is one of the key steps in the pathogenesis of staphylococcal infections. S. aureus presents a family of adhesins ... -
Extensive rearing hinders Maedi-Visna Virus (MVV) infection in sheep
Maedi-Visna Virus (MVV) seroprevalence and its relationship with housing and mode of rearing of replacement ewe-lambs was investigated in 38 non-randomly selected sheep-flocks in Spain. They included extensive lamb-producing ...
