Insight into Antifungal Metabolites from 92p Against Banana Cordana Leaf Spot Caused by .

Banana crop ranks among the most crucial fruit and food crops in tropical and subtropical areas. Despite advancements in production technology, diseases such as cordana leaf spot, caused by , remain a significant challenge, reducing productivity and quality. Traditional chemical controls are becoming less effective due to the development of resistance in target pathogens, which pose significant environmental and health concerns.

First report of Neopestalotiopsis clavispora causing leaf spot disease on banana (Musa acuminate L.) in China.

Banana (Musa acuminate L.) is an important tropical fruit in China. In October 2020, a new leaf spot disease was observed on banana plants at an orchard of Zhenkang county (23°45'23.

sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from coastal sediment.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain YQF-2, was isolated from coastal sediment sampled in Jiangsu Province and characterized phylogenetically and phenotypically. Optimal bacterial growth occurred at 28 °C (range 4-38 °C) and pH 7 (pH 6-10). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain YQF-2 was related to members of the genus and shared the highest sequence identities with KMM 1406 (98.

Fibrinogen improves liver function via promoting cell aggregation and fibronectin assembly in hepatic spheroids.

Many key functions performed by the liver depend on the interaction between parenchymal cells and the microenvironment comprised of neighboring cells and extracellular matrix. The biological macromolecules in the matrix, which are dynamically changing, participate in various physiological processes through interactions with cell surface receptors, antigens, and ion channels. We found the rat liver biomatrix scaffold (LBS) prepared from adult rats is more effective in enhancing the function of hepatic spheroids than those derived from newborn or senile rats.

sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from coastal sediment.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain YQF-1, was isolated from coastal sediment in Jiangsu Province (PR China) and characterized phylogenetically and phenotypically. Bacterial optimal growth occurred at 28 °C (range 4-40 °C) and pH 7 (range pH 6-11). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that YQF-1 was related to members of the genus and shared the highest sequence identities with DSM 29723 (98.

Sweat gland organoids contribute to cutaneous wound healing and sweat gland regeneration.

Sweat glands perform a vital thermoregulatory function in mammals. Like other skin components, they originate from epidermal progenitors. However, they have low regenerative potential in response to injury.

Establishment of an ex Vivo Model of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Using a Tissue-Engineered Liver.

The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a common cause of chronic liver disease, continues to increase in parallel with that of obesity. Currently, there are no preclinical models to study its complex pathogenesis nor to assess candidate therapies. We have established a tissue-engineered (TE) liver by seeding cells into liver-derived matrix scaffolds and then perfusing the scaffolds with a medium that dynamically provides requisite nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and hormones.

[Genetic diversity analysis of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense populations from China using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats-PCR (ISSR-PCR) technique].

Objective: We used Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) markers to reveal the genetic diversity of 95 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense ( FOC ) isolates from banana in China, for the rational control of the disease.

Development of a real-time fluorescence loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for rapid and quantitative detection of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 in soil.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), the causal agent of Fusarium wilt (Panama disease), is one of the most devastating diseases of banana (Musa spp.
