TRANSCRIPTIONAL REPROGRAMMING OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA DEFENCE PATHWAYS BY THE ENTOMOPATHOGEN BEAUVERIA BASSIANA CORRELATES WITH RESISTANCE AGAINST A FUNGAL PATHOGEN BUT NOT AGAINST INSECTS

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana can adopt an endophytic lifestyle by colonising a wide array of plant species.Beauveria-colonised plants can show enhanced resistance against insects and plant pathogens alike.However, little is known about the molecular and physiological mechanisms that govern such interactions.Here, we assessed the e

Regulation of the plant immune system is important for controlling the specificity and amplitude of responses to pathogens and in preventing growth-inhibiting autoimmunity that leads to reductions in plant fitness.In previous work, we reported that SRFR1, a negative regulator of effector-triggered immunity, interacts with SNC1 and EDS1.When SRFR1 P

Low-speed hoist bearings are characterized by fault features that are weak and difficult to extract.Multipoint optimal minimum entropy deconvolution adjusted (MOMEDA) is an effective method for extracting periodic pulses in a signal.However, the decomposition effect of MOMEDA largely depends on the selected pulse period and filter length.To address

Host specialization is considered a primary driver of the enormous diversity of herbivorous insects.Trade-offs in host use are hypothesized to promote this specialization, but they have mostly been studied in generalist herbivores.We conducted a multi-generation selection experiment to examine the adaptation of the specialist seed-feeding bug, Lyga

Abstract Background Malaria still constitutes a major public health menace, especially in tropical and subtropical countries.Close to half a million people mainly children in Africa, die every year from the disease.With the rising resistance to frontline drugs (artemisinin-based combinations), there is a need to accelerate the discovery and develop
