Comparative transcriptomics of a generalist aphid, and a specialist aphid, reveals molecular signatures associated with diversity of their feeding behaviour and other attributes.

Introduction: Aphids are phloem sap-sucking insects and are a serious destructive pest of several crop plants. Aphids are categorized as "generalists" or "specialists" depending on their host range. (Sulz.

De Novo Transcriptome Profiling of Mustard Aphid () and Differential Expression of Transcripts Associated with Feeding and Non-Feeding Conditions and Developmental Stages.

is a specialist aphid of the Indian subcontinent that causes significant yield losses in oilseed Brassicas. Several aphid genes have been used as preferred targets in RNAi-based transgenic plants for aphid resistance. In order to enhance the repertoire of potential target genes for aphid control and to identify the genes associated with aphid feeding and development, we performed a two-way comparative study of differential gene expression profiles between (i) feeding and non-feeding adults and (ii) adult and nymph developmental stages of De novo RNA-seq of aphids using Illumina technology generated a final transcriptome comprising 52,652 transcripts.

Medications for alcohol-use disorder and follow-up after hospitalization for alcohol withdrawal: A multicenter study.

Background: Alcohol withdrawal is a common reason for admission to acute care hospitals. Prescription of medications for alcohol-use disorder (AUD) and close outpatient follow-up are commonly recommended, but few studies report their effects on postdischarge outcomes.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of medications for AUD and follow-up appointments on readmission and abstinence.

Use of hydroponics-based evaluation for phenotyping tolerance/susceptibility to the aphid, and inheritance analysis of aphid tolerance in a global germplasm collection of L. (Safflower).

Unlabelled: L. (Safflower) is an important oilseed crop that is cultivated globally. Aphids are a serious pest of safflower and cause significant yield losses of up to 80% due to their ability to multiply rapidly by parthenogenesis.
