TL;DR: The putative QTLs and marker developed in this study can be effectively utilized in sugarcane breeding programs to facilitate the selection process, thus contributing to the sustainable agriculture for orange rust disease control.

TL;DR: This work elucidated the association of flagellar Type III secretion systems in bradyrhizobium strain Lb8, and suggested that complex rearrangement, such as horizontal transfer and insertion of different DNA elements, might be responsible for the plasticity of the Bradyrhuzobium genome.

TL;DR: Compared the efficiency of HDV assembly and release in the presence of HBV surface antigens, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein, or hepatitis C virus (HCV) E1 and E2 glycoproteins, HDV incorporation of VSV-G or HCV-E1E2 was assisted by farnesylation of the large hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg-L), a mechanism also seen with HBsAg.

TL;DR: This work provides a mechanistic insight into the complex replicative cycle of this understudied human pathogen and identifies a novel domain-domain interaction that is vital for replicative fitness.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors characterized early HDV kinetics post-inoculation and incorporated mathematical modeling to provide insights into host-HDV dynamics and found that the first-phase and second-phase HDV decline followed a biphasic decline regardless of immunocompetence.
