Pseudomonas syringae employs a type III secretion system to inject 20-30 different type III effector (T3SE) proteins into plant host cells.A major role of T3SEs is to suppress plant immune responses and promote bacterial infection.The YopJ/HopZ acetyltransferases are a superfamily of T3SEs found in both plant and animal pathogenic bacteria.In P.syr
Intraspecies Interaction of Fusarium graminearum Contributes to Reduced Toxin Production and Virulence
Fusarium graminearum is a pathogenic fungus that causes Fusarium head blight in wheat and lowers the yield and quality of grains by contamination with the trichothecene mycotoxin deoxynivalenol.The fungi coexist and interact with Sofa Bed several different fusaria as well as other plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria in the field.In Canada, F.gramin
From Chickens to Humans: The Importance of Peptide Repertoires for MHC Class I Alleles
In humans, killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), expressed on natural killer (NK) and thymus-derived (T) cells, and their ligands, primarily the classical class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) expressed on nearly all cells, are both polymorphic.The variation of this receptor-ligand interaction, based on which allele
Discovery and Characterization of Bukakata orbivirus (Reoviridae:Orbivirus), a Novel Virus from a Ugandan Bat
While serological and virological evidence documents the exposure of bats to medically-important arboviruses, their role as reservoirs or amplifying hosts is less well-characterized.We describe a novel orbivirus (Reoviridae:Orbivirus) isolated from an Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus leachii) trapped in 2013 in Uganda and named Bukakata or
Optical depth changes of dust in connection with land use changes in Central Zagros
The aim of this study was to reveal the relationship between land cover changes and changes in aerosol optical depth index in the Middle Zagros.In this regard, two categories of MODIS sensor remote sensing products were used.First, land cover changes in the study area were performed using MODIS sensor land use classification derivative product.In t
