Horizontal transposon transfer during plant terrestrialization.

J Integr Plant Biol

College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, 210023, China.

Published: November 2024

During the move to land, plants acquired transposable elements by horizontal transfer from bacteria and fungi and land plants have many long non-coding RNAs derived from retrotransposons acquired by horizontal transposon transfer, including some that are highly expressed and involved in the response to drought stress and abscisic acid.

Department of Microbiology, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, 576104, Karnataka, India; Center for Antimicrobial Resistance and Education (CARE), Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, 576104, Karnataka, India E-mail:

The spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses global health threats, with wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) as hotspots for its development. Horizontal gene transfer facilitates acquisition of resistance genes, particularly through integrons in . Our study investigates isolates from hospital and municipal WWTPs, focusing on integrons, their temporal correlation and phenotypic and molecular characterization of AMR.

GenomeDelta: detecting recent transposable element invasions without repeat library.

Genome Biol

December 2024

Institut für Populationsgenetik, Vetmeduni Vienna, Veterinärplatz 1, 1210, Vienna, Austria.

We present GenomeDelta, a novel tool for identifying sample-specific sequences, such as recent transposable element (TE) invasions, without requiring a repeat library. GenomeDelta compares high-quality assemblies with short-read data to detect sequences absent from the short reads. It is applicable to both model and non-model organisms and can identify recent TE invasions, spatially heterogeneous sequences, viral insertions, and hotizontal gene transfers.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is currently recognized not only as a significant nosocomial pathogen but also is an emerging bacterial infection in food-producing animals, posing a critical threat to global health. However, this is a hindrance to detailed bioinformatic studies of MDR A.

The evolution of complex Metarhizium-insect-plant interactions.

Fungal Biol

December 2024

Department of Entomology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA. Electronic address:

Metarhizium species interact with plants, insects, and microbes within a diffuse coevolutionary framework that benefits soil health, biodiversity, and plant growth. The insect host ranges of these fungi vary greatly. Specialization to a narrow host range usually occurs in the tropics with its stable insect populations, and is characterized by the rapid evolution of existing protein sequences, sexual recombination, and small genomes.
