TL;DR: It is concluded that the prolipoprotein possesses a glyceride which is covalently bound to the cysteine residue in the peptide as the lipoprotein does and that the removal of signal peptide takes place after the modification.

TL;DR: Results indicate that manipulation of the mosquito metalloprotease gene via aae-miR-2940 is crucial for efficient maintenance of the endosymbiont.

TL;DR: West Nile virus (WNV) belongs to a group of medically important single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses causing deadly disease outbreaks around the world and the 3′ untranslated region (3′-UTR) of the flavivirus genome fulfils multiple functions in virus replication and virus–host interactions.

TL;DR: This work has investigated the ability of CLCuD DNA β to interact with three further clones of monopartite begomoviruses, isolated from cotton, that have distinct Rep binding specificities and all three cloned viruses were capable of trans-replicating the satellite molecule and inducing CLCUD symptoms in cotton, indicating that the interaction between beggingomovirus and DNA β is relaxed in comparison to the interactionbetween DNA A and DNA B components.

TL;DR: The application of tissue-specific or inducible gene silencing, with the use of appropriate promoters, and the ability to silence several genes simultaneously should enhance the authors' ability to create novel traits in plants.
