Article Synopsis
- The research examines how the diversity of microbial communities on flue-cured tobacco relates to its flavor and quality, utilizing high-throughput sequencing to analyze samples from Yunnan.
- A specific bacterial strain, W6-2, was identified for its pectin-degrading ability, and its fermentation-derived enzyme preparation was applied to tobacco to assess quality improvements.
- The study found that this enzyme treatment enhanced the aroma and sweetness of the tobacco, changed the levels of various compounds, and demonstrated a significant link between surface microorganisms and the volatile components affecting tobacco quality.
Most secretory proteins are folded and modified in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In , the absence of Scs2 protein will lead to the separation of the endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane, resulting in endoplasmic reticulum dysfunction, but its function is not clear in rice blast fungus or even filamentous fungus. In this study, we report the identification and characterization of in the pathogenesis of the rice blast fungus .

Herein, we identified and characterized the functions of MoAde4, an orthologue of yeast Ade4 in Magnaporthe oryzae. MoAde4 is a 537-amino acid protein containing GATase_6 and pribosyltran domains.
