TL;DR: The discovery of the secreted protein gene clusters and the functional demonstration of their decisive role in the infection process illuminate previously unknown mechanisms of pathogenicity operating in biotrophic fungi.

TL;DR: It is found that piggyBac has distinct global and local gene-tagging behavior from that of P elements, and is more effective at gene disruption because it lacks the P bias for insertion in 5′ regulatory sequences.

TL;DR: It is shown that imd functions upstream of the DmIKK signalosome and the caspase DREDD in the control of antibacterial peptide genes and is involved in the apoptotic response to UV irradiation, raising the possibility that antibacterial response and apoptosis share common control elements in Drosophila.

TL;DR: Results show that all major sugars in brown macroalgae can be used as feedstocks for biofuels and value-added renewable chemicals in a manner that is comparable to traditional arable-land-based feedstocks.

TL;DR: Tandem pore domain weak inward rectifying K+ (TWIK) channel nucleic acids and proteins that have been isolated from Drosophila melanogaster and Leptinotarsa are described in this article.
