    Microbial communities and diazotrophic activity differ in the root-zone of Alamo and Dacotah switchgrass Feedstocks 

    Rodrigues, Richard R.; Moon, Jinyoung; Zhao, Bingyu; Williams, Mark A. (Wiley, 2016-08-22)
    Nitrogen (N) bioavailability is a primary limiting nutrient for crop and feedstock productivity. Associative nitrogen fixation (ANF) by diazotrophic bacteria in root-zone soil microbial communities have been shown to provide ...

    Named Entity Recognition for Bacterial Type IV Secretion Systems 

    Ananiadou, Sophia; Sullivan, Dan; Black, William; Levow, Gina-Anne; Gillespie, Joseph J.; Mao, Chunhong; Pyysalo, Sampo; Kolluru, BalaKrishna; Tsujii, Junichi; Sobral, Bruno (Public Library of Science, 2011-03-29)
    Research on specialized biological systems is often hampered by a lack of consistent terminology, especially across species. In bacterial Type IV secretion systems genes within one set of orthologs may have over a dozen ...

    Glutamine Metabolism Drives Growth in Advanced Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer 

    Demas, Diane M.; Demo, Susan; Fallah, Yassi; Clarke, Robert; Nephew, Kenneth P.; Althouse, Sandra; Sandusky, George; He, Wei; Shajahan-Haq, Ayesha N. (Frontiers, 2019-08-02)
    Dependence on the glutamine pathway is increased in advanced breast cancer cell models and tumors regardless of hormone receptor status or function. While 70% of breast cancers are estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and ...

    Rapidly evolving changes and gene loss associated with host switching in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis 

    Canario Viana, Marcus Vinicius; Sahm, Arne; Goes Neto, Aristoteles; Pereira Figueiredo, Henrique Cesar; Wattam, Alice Rebecca; Azevedo, Vasco (PLOS, 2018-11-12)
    Phylogenomics and genome scale positive selection analyses were performed on 29 Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis genomes that were isolated from different hosts, including representatives of the Ovis and Equi biovars. A ...

    Production of Virus-Derived Ping-Pong-Dependent piRNA-like Small RNAs in the Mosquito Soma 

    Morazzani, Elaine M.; Wiley, Michael R.; Murreddu, Marta G.; Adelman, Zach N.; Myles, Kevin M. (Public Library of Science, 2012-01-05)
    The natural maintenance cycles of many mosquito-borne pathogens require establishment of persistent non-lethal infections in the invertebrate host. The mechanism by which this occurs is not well understood, but we have ...

    Bed Bugs and Infectious Disease: A Case for the Arboviruses 

    Adelman, Zach N.; Miller, Dini M.; Myles, Kevin M. (PLOS, 2013-08-01)
    Bed bug infestations (Cimicidae; Cimex lectularius) have been increasing worldwide over the last few decades [1,2]. Several factors have been posited to explain this resurgence, including widespread insecticide resistance, ...

    Enhanced resistance in Theobroma cacao against oomycete and fungal pathogens by secretion of phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate-binding proteins 

    Helliwell, Emily E.; Vega-Arreguin, Julio; Shi, Zi; Bailey, Bryan; Xiao, Shunyuan; Maximova, Siela N.; Tyler, Brett M.; Guiltinan, Mark J. (2016-03)
    The internalization of some oomycete and fungal pathogen effectors into host plant cells has been reported to be blocked by proteins that bind to the effectors' cell entry receptor, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P). ...
