TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of the rice sheath blight disease pathogen, R. solani AG1 IA, is assembled using next-generation Illumina Genome Analyser sequencing technologies and reveals the exclusive expression patterns of the pathogenic determinants during host infection.

TL;DR: The diversity and particularity of cry2-type gene resources from Bacillus thuringiensis strains in Sichuan basin revealed a wide range of insecticidal spectrum toxic to Aedes aegypti and Pieris rapae Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera).

TL;DR: In this article , the N proteins of highly pathogenic human coronaviruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV and SARS -CoV-2 were found to bind MASP-2, a key serine protease in the lectin pathway of complement activation, resulting in excessive complement activation.

TL;DR: Identification of likely pathogenic factors including allergen protein homologues, oxidative phosphorylation and ethylene biosynthesis pathways, and diversification of polysaccharide monooxygenases provides molecular insight into key genomic components that play a role in R. solani pathogenesis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of the culture medium, carbon and nitrogen source, temperature, pH, water potential and light on mycelial growth and the effects of temperature and wetness duration on conidial germination, and identified the conidia lethal temperature.
