Exosomes play a key role in virus exocytosis and transmission. The exportin family is usually responsible for cargo nucleocytoplasmic trafficking, and they are frequently found in exosomes. However, the function of exportins sorted in exosomes remains unknown. Here, we successfully isolated "cup holder"-like exosomes from the saliva of ∼30,000 small brown planthoppers, which are vectors of rice stripe virus (RSV). RSV virions were packed in comparatively large exosomes. Four viral genomic RNAs at a certain ratio were identified in the saliva exosomes. The virions contained in the saliva exosomes were capable of replicating and causing disease in rice plants. Interference with each phase of the insect exosome system affected the transmission of RSV from the insect vectors to rice plants. Fragmented exportin 6 was coimmunoprecipitated with viral nucleocapsid protein in saliva and sorted to exosomes via interactions with the cargo sorting protein VPS37a. When the expression of was knocked down, the amounts of RSV secreted in saliva and rice plants were reduced by 60% and 74%, respectively. These results showed that exportin 6 acted as a vehicle for transporting RSV into exosomes to overcome the barrier of insect salivary glands for horizontal transmission. Exportin 6 would represent an ideal target that could be manipulated to control the outbreak of insect-borne viruses in the future.

In this study, we performed a comparative analysis based on a total of 255 spider mitogenomes and four outgroups, of which the mitogenomes of 39 species were assembled de novo, to explore the phylogenetic relationships and the adaptive evolution of mitogenomes. Results showed that had the longest mitochondrial length and the most pronounced codon preference to be UUA, followed by CCU. Codon usage frequencies were similar between families and codon usage in the mitogenome of spiders was mainly influenced by natural selection pressures rather than G/C mutation bias.

To develop antibacterial agents with a novel mechanism of action, a series of sulfone compounds containing a 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-]pyridine were designed and synthesized by progressive molecular structure optimization. The antibacterial activities of some derivatives against the four plant pathogens (), (), (), and () were evaluated. Among them, compound demonstrated significant antibacterial activities against , , and , with EC values of 1.

The effects of drought stress on stomatal opening dynamics, plant volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and plant-insect interactions have been well-documented individually, but how they interact mechanistically remains poorly studied. Here, we studied how drought-triggered stomatal closure affects VOC emission and plant-trophic interactions by combining RNAi silencing, molecular biological and chemical analyses (GC-MS) of a potato-tuber moth-egg parasitoid tritrophic system. Drought stress attenuated stomatal apertures and VOC emissions, which made the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.

Feeding and oviposition by phytophagous insects are both known to trigger defenses in plants. Whether these two defenses functionally interact remains poorly studied, although these interactions are likely important for pests with overlapping generations. Here we investigated the differences and interaction between feeding- and oviposition-induced plant defenses triggered by the brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens), which gregariously feeds and oviposits on rice.

Rice milk is known for its wide range of beneficial effects on human health. Despite an increasing inclination towards rice drinks consumption, not much is known regarding the protein composition of commercial rice beverages. Hence, using a label-free quantitative proteomics approach we analyzed 9 different commercially available rice drinks and identified 259 rice proteins and 4 exogenous microbial α-amylases.
