A small RNA effector conserved in herbivore insects suppresses host plant defense by cross-kingdom gene silencing.

Herbivore insects deploy salivary effectors to manipulate the defense of their host plants. However, it remains unclear whether small RNAs from insects function as effectors in regulating plant-insect interactions. Here, we report that a microRNA (miR29-b) found in the saliva of phloem-feeding whitefly (Bemisa tabaci) can transfer into the host plant phloem during feeding and fine-tune the defense response of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum).

Investigation of the anti-Huanglongbing effects using antimicrobial lipopeptide and phytohormone complex powder prepared from MG-2 fermentation.

Global citrus production has been severely affected by citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) disease, caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Clas), and the development of effective control methods are crucial.

Our study aimed to investigate the effects of different SA concentrations on spinach growth, cadmium accumulation, and stress resistance physiology under cadmium stress (50 µmol/L).

Salicylic acid cooperates with different small molecules to control biotic and abiotic stress responses.

Salicylic acid (SA) is a phytohormone that plays a critical role in plant growth, development, and response to unfavorable conditions. Over the past three decades, researches on SA have deeply elucidated the mechanism of its function in plants tolerance to infection by biotrophic and hemibiotrophic pathogens. Recent studies have found that SA also plays an important role in regulating plants response to abiotic stress.

NPR1 promotes blue light-induced plant photomorphogenesis by ubiquitinating and degrading PIF4.

Light is a major determinant of plant growth and survival. NONEXPRESSER OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES 1 (NPR1) acts as a receptor for salicylic acid (SA) and serves as the key regulator of SA-mediated immune responses. However, the mechanisms by which plants integrate light and SA signals in response to environmental changes, as well as the role of NPR1 in regulating plant photomorphogenesis, remain poorly understood.

Reproducibility of proton density fat fraction assessment of thigh muscle in a multi-site, multi-vendor cohort study at 10 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Background: Dixon-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) intramuscular proton density fat fraction (PDFF) is a potentially useful imaging biomarker of muscle quality. However, multi-vendor, multi-site reproducibility of intramuscular PDFF quantification, required for large clinical studies, can be strongly dependent on acquisition and processing. The purpose of this study was (I) to develop a 6-point Dixon MRI-based acquisition and processing technique for reproducible multi-vendor, multi-site quantification of thigh intramuscular PDFF; and (II) to evaluate the ability of the technique to detect differences in thigh muscle status between operated .

Phosphoproteomic analysis uncovers phosphorylated proteins in response to salicylic acid and N-hydroxypipecolic acid in Arabidopsis.

Background: The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) serves as a crucial signaling molecule within the realm of plant immunity, playing an indispensable role in both local and systemic acquired resistance (SAR). N-hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP), a derivative of L-lysine, is integral to the induction of SAR. Recent investigations have illuminated the intricate manner in which NHP orchestrates the establishment of SAR in conjunction with the immune signal SA.

Species- and organ-specific contribution of peroxisomal cinnamate:CoA ligases to benzoic and salicylic acid biosynthesis.

Salicylic acid (SA) is a prominent defense hormone whose basal level, organ-specific accumulation, and physiological role vary widely among plant species. Of the 2 known pathways of plant SA biosynthesis, the phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) pathway is more ancient and universal but its biosynthetic and physiological roles in diverse plant species remain unclear. Studies in which the PAL pathway is specifically or completely inhibited, as well as a direct comparison of diverse species and different organs within the same species, are needed.

Preclinical efficacy and safety of adeno-associated virus 5 alpha-galactosidase: A gene therapy for Fabry disease.

We developed a novel adeno-associated virus 5 gene therapy (AAV5-GLA) expressing human alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) under the control of a novel, small and strong, liver-restricted promoter. We assessed the preclinical potential of AAV5-GLA for treating Fabry disease, an X-linked hereditary metabolic disorder resulting from mutations in the gene encoding GLA that lead to accumulation of the substrates globotriaosylceramide and globotriaosylsphingosine, causing heart, kidney, and central nervous system dysfunction. Effects of intravenously administered AAV5-GLA were evaluated in (1) GLA-knockout mice aged 7-8 weeks (early in disease) and 20 weeks (nociception phenotype manifestation) and (2) cynomolgus macaques during an 8-week period.
