Most cold-season grasses can be colonized by belowground arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and foliar grass endophytes (Epichloë) simultaneously while also be attacked by insect herbivores. The colonization of AM fungi or the presence of grass endophytes is associated with increased resistance by the host plant. However, studies on how these two symbionts affect host plants and mitigate insect pest attack are currently lacking.

The advancement of epigenetics has highlighted DNA methylation as an intermediate-omic influencing gene regulation and phenotypic expression. With emerging technologies enabling the large-scale and affordable capture of methylation data, there is growing interest in integrating this information into genetic evaluation models for animal breeding. This study used methylome information from six dairy cows to simulate the methylation profile of 13,183 genotyped animals.

When microplastics (MPs) enter water bodies, they undergo various transport processes, including sedimentation, which can be influenced by factors such as particle size, density, and interactions with other particles. Surface waters contain suspended natural particles (e.g.

Here we investigate the extent to which homodimeric kinesin-1 lacking light chains is activated by the dynein activating adaptor BicD. We show that one or two kinesins can bind to the central region of BicD (CC2), a region distinct from that which binds dynein-dynactin (CC1) and cargo-adaptor proteins (CC3).

Chronic osteomyelitis caused by implant infections is a common complication following orthopedic surgery. Preventing bacterial infection and simultaneously improving bone regeneration are the key for osteomyelitis. Current treatments include systemic antibiotics and multiple surgical interventions, but the strategies available for treatment are limited.
