Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is the most important sugar crop that belongs to the Poaceae family and is mainly cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Brown stripe disease is a common and serious foliar fungal disease of sugarcane and has become a serious threat to sugarcane production in China.

- Sugarcane thrips is a notable pest affecting sugarcane crops in tropical and subtropical regions, and this study represents the first analysis of its complete mitochondrial genome.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16,596 base pairs long and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, showing a strong AT base bias of 75%.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicates extensive gene rearrangements in the mitochondrial genome and supports the close evolutionary relationship between sugarcane thrips and other thrips families.
Article Synopsis
- Sugarcane, a vital crop in China, exhibited red lesions on its leaves, first noted in August 2020 in Yunnan, and then observed in multiple cultivars and locations through mid-2021, with a disease incidence of 30-50%.
- Initial symptoms included red spots that expanded into elongated lesions, causing leaves to droop severely when the disease progressed.
- To tackle this issue, researchers collected symptomatic leaves, cultured them in the lab, and identified the causative agent as the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae through morphological and molecular methods.
Aim: To investigate the impact of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) treatment on allergic colitis (AC) and gut microbiota (GM).
Methods: We selected a total of 19 AC infants, who suffered from severe diarrhea/hematochezia, did not relieve completely after routine therapy or cannot adhere to the therapy, and were free from organ congenital malformations and other contraindications for FMT. Qualified donor-derived stools were collected and injected to the AC infants a rectal tube.
Aim: To investigate whether patients with refractory epilepsy and healthy infants differ in gut microbiota (GM), and how ketogenic diet (KD) alters GM.
Methods: A total of 14 epileptic and 30 healthy infants were recruited and seizure frequencies were recorded. Stool samples were collected for 16S rDNA sequencing using the Illumina Miseq platform.
Aim: To determine whether oral administration of CGMCC313-2 ( CGMCC313-2) inhibits allergen-induced airway inflammation and food allergies in a mouse model.
Methods: Ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma and β-lactoglobulin-induced food allergy mouse models were used in this study. Following oral administration of CGMCC313-2 during or after allergen sensitization, histopathologic changes in the lung and intestine were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining.
Candida tropicalis is considered as the leading pathogen in nosocomial fungemia and hepatosplenic fungal infections in patients with cancer, particularly in leukemia. The yeast-filament transition is required for virulent infection by Candida. Several studies have explored the genome-wide transcription profile of Candida, however, no report on the transcriptional profile of C.
