Optimal use of insecticide against the small brown planthopper, , effectively reduces the damage caused by Rice stripe virus.

Rice stripe virus disease is one of the most devastating diseases of rice () in East Asia. The causal virus, Rice stripe virus (RSV), is persistently transmitted by the small brown planthopper (, SBPH). Since there is no effective treatment once rice plants are infected with RSV, it is crucial to prevent RSV infection in rice to minimize the damage.

Application of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomics in food science and technology.

Metabolomics is a tool used for quantitative assessment of metabolites that has been applied extensively in the field of food science. Recently, metabolomics-based gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is becoming a common tool for analyzing, not only volatile compounds, but also non-volatile compounds due to the development of various derivatization methods. Although several studies have reviewed the application of metabolomics in food science, this present review article specifically focuses on metabolomics research using GC/MS for analysis of non-volatile compounds such as sugars, amino acids, and organic acids.

Investigation of the characteristics of different shrimps by species and habitat using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry based metabolomics.

Approximately 6.5 million tons of shrimp are consumed annually worldwide. The price of shrimp is greatly influenced by species and habitat (e.

Occurrence and distribution of viruses infecting potato in Russia.

Potato viral disease has been a major problem in potato production worldwide including Russia. Here, we detected Potato Virus M (PVM), P (PVP), S (PVS), Y (PVY), and X (PVX) and Potato Leaf Roll Virus (PLRV) by RT-PCR on potato leaves and tubers from the Northwestern (NW), Volga (VF), and Far Eastern (FE) federal districts of Russia. Each sample was co-infected with up to five viruses.

Complete genome sequence of a divergent strain of potato virus P isolated from Solanum tuberosum in Russia.

Contigs with sequence similarity to potato virus P (PVP), which belongs to the genus Carlavirus, were identified by high-throughput sequencing analysis in potato tubers collected from a farmer's potato production field in Surazhevka, Artyom, Primorskiy Krai (Russia) in 2018. The complete genome sequence of this virus consisted of 8,394 nucleotides, excluding the poly(A) tail. This is the first report of PVP being detected outside South America.
