Adipokinetic hormone signaling mediates the enhanced fecundity of infected by ' Liberibacter asiaticus'.

serves as the primary vector for ' Liberibacter asiaticus (Las),' the bacterium associated with the severe Asian form of huanglongbing. Las-positive are more fecund than their Las-negative counterparts and require extra energy expenditure. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms linking metabolism and reproduction is of particular importance.

Blood typing and transfusion therapy in a patient with A2 subtype acute myeloid leukemia M2: A case report.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common types of leukemia in adults. However, AML is relatively rare in the population overall, accounting for only about 1 percent of all cancers. Treatment for AML can be very effective for some patients, yet it leaves others with serious and even life-threatening side effects.

Spatial Distribution and Temporal Dynamics of Liberibacter Asiaticus in Different Stages of Embryos, Nymphs and Adults of .

Huanglongbing, a globally devastating citrus disease, is associated with Liberibacter asiaticus (Las) and is mainly transmitted by . Verification of the distribution and dynamics of Las in is critical to understanding Las transmitted by vectors in nature. Here, the distribution and titers of Las in different sexes and tissues of adults were investigated by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).

Susceptibility of to Irradiation with UV-A and UV-B and the Applicability of the Bunsen-Roscoe Reciprocity Law.

Results: Acquisition efficiency of CLas by D.

Population diversity of Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) in China based on whole mitochondrial genome sequences.

Background: Diaphorina citri (Asian citrus psyllid; ACP) transmits 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' associated with citrus Huanglongbing (HLB). ACP has been reported in 11 provinces/regions in China, yet its population diversity remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated ACP population diversity in China using representative whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences.

Phylogeography of Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) and its primary endosymbiont, 'Candidatus Carsonella ruddii': an evolutionary approach to host-endosymbiont interaction.

Background: In insects, little is known about the co-evolution between their primary endosymbionts and hosts at the intraspecific level. This study examined co-diversification between the notorious agricultural pest Diaphorina citri and its primary endosymbionts (P-endosymbiont), 'Candidatus Carsonella ruddii' at the population level.

Results: Maximum likelihood, haplotype network, principal components and Bayesian clustering identified three lineages for D.

Analyses of Mitogenome Sequences Revealed that Asian Citrus Psyllids (Diaphorina citri) from California Were Related to Those from Florida.

Asian citrus psyllid (ACP, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) transmits "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas), an unculturable alpha-proteobacterium associated with citrus Huanglongbing (HLB). CLas has recently been found in California. Understanding ACP population diversity is necessary for HLB regulatory practices aimed at reducing CLas spread.

A new sesquiterpene lactone glucoside and other constituents from Inula salsoloides with insecticidal activities on striped flea beetle (Phyllotreta striolata Fabricius).

A new sesquiterpene, eupatolide 13-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (eupatolide-II, 1), lactone glucoside, along with 15 known compounds, were isolated from the whole plant of Inula salsoloides (Asteraceae).
