Helical plant viruses are arranged into four families: Flexiviridae, Tobamoviridae, Hordeiviridae, and Tobraviridae. Further division of these families into genera and subgenera is shown. A family-specific, constant amount of RNA per unit virion length and a distinct radial location of RNA from the center of the helix are considered as basic criteria for establishment of these families.

The pigments present in the fibers of naturally colored cotton provide excellent antibacterial and environmentally friendly properties, making these colored fibers increasingly favored by the textile industry and consumers. Proanthocyanidins (PAs), the critical pigments responsible for the color of brown cotton fiber, are produced on the endoplasmic reticulum and subsequently transported to the vacuole for polymerization and/or storage. Previous studies have identified GhTT12 as a potential transmembrane transporter of PAs in Gossypium hirsutum, with GhTT12 being a homolog of Arabidopsis Transparent Testa 12 (TT12).

Article Synopsis
- The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an eco-friendly method used for controlling pest populations, highlighting the importance of identifying genes that regulate insect fertility.
- Researchers discovered seven TEKT genes in the fruit pest Cydia pomonella, with TEKT4L showing the highest expression in male testes, indicating its key role in reproduction.
- Using CRISPR/Cas9, they knocked out TEKT4L, inducing male sterility and significantly reducing the hatching rates of offspring, which ultimately proved effective in controlling C.pomonella populations in cage trials.
