Two defective bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV3) strains were generated, one lacking the membrane (M) protein gene and expressing EGFP (ΔM-EGFP) and the other lacking the fusion (F) protein gene and expressing mStrawberry (ΔF-mSB), by supplying deficient proteins in trans. When Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells were co-infected with ΔM-EGFP and ΔF-mSB at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1, complemented viruses were easily obtained. Complemented viruses grew as efficiently as wild-type BPIV3 and could be passaged in MDBK cell cultures even at an MOI of 0.01, possibly due to multiploid virus particles containing genomes of both ΔM-EGFP and ΔF-mSB. This reciprocal complementation method using two defective viruses would be useful to express large or multiple proteins in cell cultures using paramyxovirus vectors.

The inducer β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is capable of immune response in various plants. However, the specific mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade involved in BABA-induced resistance (BABA-IR) has not yet been elucidated. Here, peach fruits treated with the BABA exhibited a pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) defense against Rhizopus stolonifer, accompanied by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activation of MAPK cascade.

Aims: The Gram-negative bacterium Erwinia amylovora (Ea) is the causal agent of fire blight, a devastating disease of apples and pears. In the fire blight disease cycle, Ea grows in different plant tissues, each presenting a distinct nutrient environment. Here, we investigate the ability of aspartate and tyrosine double auxotroph Ea lines to proliferate on apple flower stigma surfaces representing the epiphytic growth stage of Ea and in developing fruitlets representing one endophytic growth stage of Ea.

The transcription factor WRKY53 of the model plant is an important regulator of leaf senescence. Its expression, activity and degradation are tightly controlled by various mechanisms and feedback loops. Hydrogen peroxide is one of the inducing agents for expression, and a long-lasting intracellular increase in HO content accompanies the upregulation of at the onset of leaf senescence.

Nanozyme activity is greatly weakened by the microenvironment and multidrug resistance of tumor cells. Hence, a bi-catalytic nanoplatform, which promotes the anti-tumor activity through "charging empowerment" and "mutual complementation" processes involved in enzymatic and pyroelectric catalysis, by loading ultra-small nanoparticles (USNPs) of pyroelectric ZnSnO onto MXene nanozyme (VCT nanosheets), is developed. Here, the VCT nanosheets exhibit enhanced peroxidase activity by reacting V with HO to generate toxic ·OH, accelerated by the near-infrared (NIR) light mediated heat effect.
