(BioMed Central, 2020)BACKGROUND : Rhodococci are industrially important soil-dwelling Gram-positive bacteria that are well known for both nitrile hydrolysis and oxidative metabolism of aromatics. Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC BAA-870 is capable ...
-
(Springer, 2019-05)The myrtle rust pathogen, Austropuccinia psidii, was recently detected in New Zealand and Singapore. We used microsatellite markers to identify the strain of A. psidii that caused these incursions. Our results show that ...
-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019-01)Soft-rot Enterobacteriaceae (SRE), typified by Pectobacterium and Dickeya genera, are phytopathogenic bacteria inflicting soft-rot disease in crops worldwide. By combining genomic information from 100 SRE with whole-transcriptome ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2020-01-07)The seven serotypes of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) differ on the surface exposed regions on the VP1, 2 and 3 proteins. Amongst the three, the VP1 protein has been produced the most for use in serotyping assays for ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2020-01-08)BACKGROUND : Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pitch canker disease, poses a serious threat to several Pinus species affecting plantations and nurseries. Although Pinus pinaster has shown moderate resistance to F. ...
-
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2020-03)Fungus gnats (sciarids) are among the most important pests in undercover crop production. They cause direct physical damage to plant roots, transfer fungal pathogens and create entry points for soil-borne plant pathogens. ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2020-02-24)BACKGROUND : The Afrikaner population of South Africa is the descendants of European colonists who started to colonize the Cape of Good Hope in the 1600s. In the early days of the colony, mixed unions between European ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2020-01-06)Although recombination is known to occur in foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), it is considered only a minor determinant of virus sequence diversity. Analysis at phylogenetic scales shows inter-serotypic recombination ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2019-12-23)Hydrogen gas represents a promising alternative energy source to dwindling fossil fuel reserves, as it carries the highest energy per unit mass and its combustion results in the release of water vapour as only byproduct. ...
-
(Springer, 2020-12)Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disease that requires multiple therapeutic strategies for its management. Bioactive peptides with multiple anti-diabetic targets are attractive therapeutic molecules. The ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020-04)Teratosphaeria destructans is an aggressive fungal pathogen causing leaf and shoot blight on young Eucalyptus trees in plantations. The disease occurs across tropical and subtropical regions of South East Asia and has ...
-
(MDPI Publishing, 2019-11-07)Culinary herbs and spices are widely used as a traditional medicine in the treatment of diabetes and its complications, and there are several scientific studies in the literature supporting the use of these medicinal ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020-03)Breeding strategies for plants focus on the genetic influence on their phenotypes. However, the phenotype is not only the outcome of the genotype or the environmental conditions under which plants grow. It is important to ...
-
(Springer, 2020-06)We describe novel hybrid primers for the successful amplification and sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene in the family Siganidae. We aligned 403 cytb sequences from 29 species and found multiple ...
-
(Elsevier, 2019-09)Functional association between genomic loci and specific biological traits remains lacking in many fungi, including the African tree pathogen Ceratocystis albifundus. This is mainly because of the absence of suitable ...
-
(Exeley, 2019)The nematode Deladenus siricidicola is used as biological control agent against the invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio, a serious invasive pest of Pinus plantations globally. The draft genome of this ecologically ...
-
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019-04)Crucihimalaya himalaica, a close relative of Arabidopsis and Capsella, grows on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) about 4,000 m above sea level and represents an attractive model system for studying speciation and ecological ...
-
(MDPI Publishing, 2019-11-21)Chronic hyperglycaemia is a major risk factor for diabetes-induced cardiovascular dysfunction. In a hyperglycaemic state, excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), coupled with decreased levels of glutathione, ...
-
(Wiley, 2019-10)Plants emit a large variety of volatile organic compounds during infection by pathogenic microbes, including terpenes, aromatics, nitrogen‐containing compounds, and fatty acid derivatives, as well as the volatile plant ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-11-22)The role of Africa in the dynamics of the global spread of a zoonotic and economicallyimportant virus, such as the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5Nx of the Gs/GD lineage, remains unexplored. Here we characterise ...
