Background: Diaphorina citri is an insect vector of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas), the gram-negative bacterial pathogen associated with citrus greening disease. Control measures rely on pesticides with negative impacts on the environment, natural ecosystems, and human and animal health. In contrast, gene-targeting methods have the potential to specifically target the vector species and/or reduce pathogen transmission.

Citrus greening disease is caused by the pathogen Liberibacter asiaticus and transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid, . No curative treatment or significant prevention mechanism exists for this disease, which causes economic losses from reduced citrus production. A high-quality genome of is being manually annotated to provide accurate gene models to identify novel control targets and increase understanding of this pest.

Article Synopsis
  • - Modern plant breeding combines advanced technologies like next-generation sequencing and phenomics to select the best parent plants, aiming to produce superior cultivars that farmers can easily adopt.
  • - A robust breeding database is essential for tracking various breeding materials, recording experimental and phenotypic data, storing genotypic information, and supporting analytical algorithms for breeding decisions.
  • - The Breedbase system, an open-source web application initially developed for cassava, has evolved to support multiple crops, offering a comprehensive platform for managing breeding data and enhancing decision-making processes in a digital environment.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can relapse in the extramedullary compartment, with or without medullary involvement. Response to treatment may be individual. We evaluated response to inotuzumab ozogamicin in 31 patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL with extramedullary disease.

BALT lymphoma is a rare B-NHL with a favorable prognosis. We here report on two patients with nonspecific symptoms: one showed as major symptom severe thrombocytopenia and the other dyspnea and dry cough, thereby suggesting an inflammatory focus in the lungs. There is no standard of care established yet.
