Abstract Bemisia tabaci whitefly species are some of the world’s most devastating agricultural pests and plant-virus disease vectors. Elucidation phylogenetic relationships in group is basis for understanding their evolution, biogeography, gene-functions development novel control technologies. We report here discovery five new Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) B . putative species, using partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 gene: SSA9, SSA10, SSA11, SSA12 SSA13. Two them, SSA10 SSA11 clustered...
Abstract Introduction Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exert immunomodulatory functions by inducing the development and differentiation of naive T into with an anti-inflammatory regulatory cell (Treg) phenotype. Our previous study showed that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) secreted MSCs had effects in context lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. We hypothesized HGF is a key MSC-mediated regulation helper 17 (Th17) cell/regulatory balance. Methods investigated on CD4+ Th17/Treg response to LPS...
Mesenchymal stem cells microvesicles (MSC-MVs) stabilize endothelial barrier function in acute lung injury (ALI); however, the detailed mechanism remains to be further defined. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which is derived from MSC-MVs, might have a key role restoration of by MSC-MVs.MSCs with lentiviral vector-mediated HGF gene knockdown (siHGF-MSC) were generated. A co-culture model pulmonary microvascular and MSC-MVs collected MSCs or siHGF-MSCs after 24 h hypoxic culture was utilized....
Abstract Background The group of > 40 cryptic whitefly species called Bemisia tabaci sensu lato are amongst the world’s worst agricultural pests and plant-virus vectors. Outbreaks B. s.l. associated diseases continue to contribute global food insecurity social instability, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa Asia. Published genomes have limited use for studying African cassava SSA1 species, due high genetic divergences between them. Genomic annotations presented here were performed using...
Abstract Identifying cryptic species poses a substantial challenge to both biologists and naturalists due morphological similarities. Bemisia tabaci is complex containing more than 44 putative species; several of which are currently among the world's most destructive crop pests. Interpreting delimiting evolution this has proved problematic. To develop comprehensive framework for delimitation identification, we evaluated performance distinct data sources individually in combination numerous...
Bemisia tabaci is a complex of cryptic agro-economically important pest species characterized by diverse clades, substantial genetic diversity along with strong phylogeographic associations. However, comprehensive phylogenomic analysis across the entire has been lacking, we thus conducted analyses and explored biogeographic patterns using 680 single-copy nuclear genes (SCNs) obtained from whole-genome sequencing data 58 globally sourced B. specimens. We constructed both concatenation...
Abstract Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and PAH-related heart failure (PAH-HF) have undergone significant epidemiological changes since 1990. However, large-scale studies are scarce. This study evaluates global epidemiologic trends from 1990 to 2021 projects them 2050 inform public health policies. Methods Data on the incidence, prevalence, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of PAH PAH-HF were analyzed using models like joinpoint regression, bayesian...
The fungi residing in the gut and associated habitats play a crucial role growth development of Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), wood-boring pest. Yet, how they are acquired maintained across generations, their respective roles throughout life cycle, remain unknown. To this end, we used high-throughput ITS sequencing analysis to characterize fungal composition diversity with A. three different stages, between sexes, its habitats. Overall, was stage specific,...
Introduction Strain ALG19, a predominant culturable bacterium isolated from the larval gut of emerald ash borer ( Agrilus planipennis ) infesting velvet Fraxinus velutina ), was investigated to determine its taxonomic identity and evaluate cellulose-degrading potential. Methods The classification ALG19 determined through whole-genome sequencing, average nucleotide (ANI) analysis, phylogenetic reconstruction based on single-copy orthologous genes. Functional annotation carbohydrate-active...
The whiteflies under the name Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Aleyrodidae: Hemiptera) are species complex of at least 31 cryptic some which globally invasive agricultural pests. Previously, mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) indigenous New World B. was sequenced and major differences gene order from postulated whitefly ancestral were found. However, sequence mitogenomes in other unknown. In addition, divergences expression profiles remain completely unexplored. this study, we obtained complete...
The study of population genetics among the Bemisia tabaci complex is limited due to lack conserved molecular markers. In this study, 358, 433 and 322 new polynucleotide microsatellites are separately identified from transcriptome sequences three cryptic species B. complex. cross transferability 57 was then experimentally validated. results indicate that these markers have high inter-taxon transferability. Thirteen were employed assess genetic relationships six To our surprise, inferred...
Abstract Backgroud Interleukin-10(IL-10) is a multifunctional cytokine with both immunosuppressive and antiangiogenic functions. Polymorphisms in the IL-10 gene promoter genetically determine interindividual differences production. This study was performed to determined whether polymorphisms were associated breast cancer Chinese Han population. Methods We genotyped 315 patients 322 healthy control subjects for -1082A/G, -819T/C -592A/C single nucleotide region of by polymerase chain...
The 37 currently recognized Bemisia tabaci cryptic species are economically important and contain both primary secondary endosymbionts, but their diversity has never been mapped systematically across the group. To achieve this, PacBio sequencing of full-length bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicons was carried out on 21 globally collected in B. complex, two samples from afer were used here as outgroups. microbial first explored major lineages whole group 15 new putative sequences observed....
Abstract Background Soil fertility decline and pathogen infection are severe issues for crop production all over the world. Microbes as inherent factors in soil were effective alleviating decrease, promoting plant growth controlling pathogens et al. Thus, screening microbes with improving properties is of great importance to humans. Results Bacteria Pt-3 isolated from tea rhizosphere showed multiple functions solubilizing insoluble phosphate, growth, producing abundant volatile organic...
Emerald ash borer (EAB, Agrilus planipennis) is an invasive killer of trees (Fraxinus spp.) in North America and Europe. Ash species co-evolved with EAB their native range Asia are mostly resistant, although the precise mechanism(s) remain unclear. Very little also known about or tree microbiomes. We performed first joint comparison phloem mycobiome metabolites between a nonnative species, infested uninfested EAB, conjunction investigation larval mycobiome. Phloem communities differed but...
In sub-Saharan Africa cassava growing areas, two members of the Bemisia tabaci species complex termed 1 (SSA1) and SSA2 have been reported as prevalent whiteflies associated with spread viruses that cause mosaic disease (CMD) brown streak (CBSD) pandemics. At peak CMD pandemic in late 1990s, was whitefly, although its numbers diminished over last decades resurgence SSA1 whiteflies. Three subgroups (SG1 to SG3) are predominant East vary distribution biological properties. Mating compatibility...
