Lentil cultivation is often hampered by aphid population outspreads with detrimental impacts to crop development and production, challenging food safety and agriculture sustainability.The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) is a significant threat to lentil in the temperate zone rainfed systems.A set of management practices including resilient cultivar
We applied hierarchical cluster analysis to an Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) bulk mass spectral dataset collected aboard the NOAA research vessel R.H.Brown during the 2002 New England Clothing Accessories Air Quality Study off the east coast of the United States.Emphasizing the organic peaks, the cluster analysis yielded a series of cate
Objectives: Antimicrobial-resistant livestock-associated Salmonella enterica infections pose a significant public-health threat worldwide.Here we report for the first time the draft genome sequences of two multidrug-resistant livestock-associated S.enterica strains isolated from a chicken and a cow in South Africa.Methods: Genomic DNA of S.enterica
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus are facultatively predatory bacteria that grow within gram-negative prey, using pili to invade their periplasmic niche.They also grow prey-independently on organic nutrients after undergoing a reversible switch.The nature of the growth switching mechanism has been elusive, but several independent reports suggested mutatio
