Conference 2024: Building an innovative scientific research ecosystem for microbiome and One Health.

The Conference 2024 provides a platform to promote the development of an innovative scientific research ecosystem for microbiome and One Health. The four key components - Technology, Research (Biology), Academic journals, and Social media - form a synergistic ecosystem. Advanced technologies drive biological research, which generates novel insights that are disseminated through academic journals.

Unraveling the Role of Cuticular Protein 3-like (HvCP3L) in the Chitin Pathway through RNAi and Methoxyfenozide Stress Response in Moore.

Cuticle proteins (CPs) constitute a multifunctional family; however, the physiological role of Cuticle Protein 3-like (CP3L) in Moore remains largely unclear. In this study, we cloned the HvCP3L gene from the transcriptional library of Moore. RT-qPCR results revealed that HvCP3L exhibited high expression levels during the larval stage of Moore, particularly at the L5D1 stage, observed in both larval and adult heads.

Characterization of Chitin Synthase B Gene () and the Effects on Feeding Behavior in Moore.

The chitin synthase B gene is a key enzyme in the chitin synthesis of insect peritrophic matrix (PM), which affects insects' feeding behavior. The chitin synthase B gene was cloned from the transcription library of Moore. RT-qPCR showed that was highly expressed in the larval stage of , especially on the first day of the pre-pupal stage, as well as in the midgut of larvae and the abdomen of adults.

Phylogenetic re-evaluation of the Grosmannia penicillata complex (Ascomycota, Ophiostomatales), with the description of five new species from China and USA.

The Grosmannia penicillata complex (Ophiostomatales, Ascomycota) is one of the major species complexes in Leptographium sensu lato. Most of these are wood staining fungi associated with conifer-infesting bark beetles, and the complex encompasses the type species of the genus Grosmannia. Yet the phylogenetic relationships of species within the complex is unresolved.

Taxonomy and phylogeny of the complex (Ophiostomatales, Ascomycota), including descriptions of six new species from China and Europe.

The complex encompasses species in the broadly defined genus (Ophiostomatales, Ascomycota) that are generally characterized by synnematous conidiophores. Most species of the complex are associates of conifer-infesting bark beetles in Europe and North America. The aims of this study were to reconsider the delineation of known species, and to confirm the identity of several additional isolates resembling that have emerged from recent surveys in China, Finland, Poland, Russia, and Spain.

Multigene phylogenies and morphological characterization of five new Ophiostoma spp. associated with spruce-infesting bark beetles in China.

Ophiostoma spp. (Ophiostomatales, Ascomycota) are well-known fungi associated with bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytinae). Some of these are serious tree pathogens, while the majority is blue-stain agents of timber.

Taxonomy and phylogeny of the Leptographium procerum complex, including Leptographium sinense sp. nov. and Leptographium longiconidiophorum sp. nov.

Leptographium procerum (Ophiostomatales, Ascomycota) is a well-known fungal associate of pine root-infesting bark beetles and weevils, occurring in several countries of the world. The fungus is not a primary pathogen but has been associated with white pine root decline in the USA and with serious damage caused by the introduced red turpentine beetle (RTB) Dendroctonus valens in China. Several species closely related to L.
