Megalaima incognita induces transcriptome reprograming in an infection stage-dependent manner. A: Venn diagram showing overlapping and uniquely differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between galls and ...

The Great Salt Lake, unsurprisingly renowned for its extremely salty water, is generally considered a desert. In this ...

Nematode‐trapping fungi are a unique group of filamentous organisms that have evolved sophisticated mechanisms for capturing and utilising nematodes as a nutritional resource. Their ability to switch ...

“Fight-or-flight” is not an option for plants, unfortunately, when it comes to pathogen attacks. Instead, plants opt for “do-or-die.” A deeper insight into the genetic mechanisms that enable plants to ...

Biologists developed a method for illuminating the intricate interactions of the synaptonemal complex in the nematode C. elegans. The authors identified a trio of protein segments that guide ...

We have two copies of each chromosome in every cell in our bodies except in our reproductive cells. Sperm and egg cells contain a single copy of each chromosome with a unique mix of genes from our ...

A nematode (C. elegans) jumps onto a bumblebee along an electrical field to hitch a ride. Credit: Chiba et al., 2023 Japanese scientists working with nematodes (C. elegans) noticed one day that ...

To study how parasites evolve to break the defenses of their hosts, the National Institutes of Health has granted UC Riverside nematologist Simon "Niels" Groen a $1.9 million Outstanding Investigator ...

This breakthrough, detailed in Scientific Reports, highlights the potential use of nanotechnology to enhance biological and botanical pest control methods to advance sustainable agriculture. Eggplants ...
