Article Synopsis
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), specifically Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), pose a significant risk to U.S. Armed Forces personnel, potentially affecting their readiness and performance.
- A study at two military bases analyzed data from 432 participants, finding a 10% prevalence of MG, with higher rates among females and non-Hispanic Black individuals.
- The research indicates that single relationship status and multiple recent sexual partners are linked to increased MG prevalence, emphasizing the need for further investigation into this emerging pathogen in military settings.
Plant viral suppressors of RNA silencing induce developmental defects similar to those caused by mutations in genes involved in the microRNA pathway. A recent report has attributed viral suppressor-mediated developmental defects to up-regulation of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 8 (ARF8), a target of miR167. The key piece of evidence was that the developmental defects in transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) expressing viral suppressors were greatly alleviated in the F1 progeny of a cross with plants carrying the arf8-6 mutation.
