The RpfF Acyl-ACP thioesterase of major rice pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is essential for maintenance of membrane function and virulence

In Xanthomonas , RpfF is a bifunctional enzyme having both enoyl-ACP dehydratase and acyl-ACP thioesterase activities catalyzed by a single active site. While the hydratase activity is essential for producing quorum-sensing signals of the diffusible signal factor (DSF) family, th...

GoAstV Induced Mitophagy and Ferroptosis in the Spleen of Goslings

A novel goose astrovirus (GoAstV) has emerged in various provinces of China, leading to a mortality rate of up to 50% among GoAstV goslings. The spleen is an important immune organ in geese. Studies have shown that goslings infected with GoAstV exhibit higher viral loads in their...

Fates of residual nitrate under reductive soil disinfestation with different schemes

Intensive vegetable cultivation has caused severe nitrate (NO 3 − -N) accumulation and associated environmental issues. Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD), originally developed for suppressing soil-borne diseases, has proven effective in removing residual NO 3 − -N of topsoil at...

Natural variation in GmSOP5 regulates seed oil and protein content during soybean domestication

ABSTRACT Seed oil content, protein content, and yield are agronomically important, correlated traits that determine the economic value of soybean ( Glycine max ). However, improving seed quality and yield simultaneously is challenging because gains in one breeding target often co...

Flavor quality evaluation and discrimination of regional tea (Camellia sinensis L.) based on metabolomics, volatileomics, and machine learning

This study aimed to elucidate the differences in the composition of the flavor molecular basis of fresh tea leaves ( Camellia sinensis L.) from different regions and their potential for geographical discrimination. The samples from eight representative producing areas across Chin...

Reconciling nitrogen fertilization effects on soil nitrification with acidification

Nitrogen (N) fertilization supports nearly half of the global population but disrupts the N cycle. While N addition is assumed to stimulate soil nitrification by increasing substrate supply and nitrifier activity, it may also inhibit nitrification via soil acidification. Resolvin...
