Abstract Fungi are one of the most diverse groups organisms with an estimated number species in range 2–3 million. The higher-level ranking fungi has been discussed framework molecular phylogenetics since Hibbett et al., and definition higher ranks (e.g., phyla) ‘true fungi’ have revised several subsequent publications. Rapid accumulation novel genomic data advancements now facilitate a robust precise foundation for classification within kingdom. This study provides updated kingdom , drawing...
Microsporidia are obligatory intracellular parasites, most species of which live in the host cell cytosol. They synthesize and then transport secretory proteins from endoplasmic reticulum to plasma membrane for formation spore wall polar tube invasion. However, microsporidia do not have a typical Golgi complex. Here, using quick-freezing cryosubstitution chemical fixation, we demonstrate that analogs Paranosema (Antonospora) grylli locustae appear as 300-nm networks thin (25- 40-nm...
Habrobracon hebetor is a globally acknowledged larval ectoparasitoid that widely used to control lepidopteran pests. Wolbachia natural endosymbiont regulates various aspects of the insect host biology. The ability H. paralyze and develop on larvae from five families was tested under laboratory conditions. Two lines wasp were used, “W+” containing naturally occurring supergroup B, “W−”, with eradicated by antibiotic treatment, followed propagation 20 subsequent generations. proportions in...
Now more than ever researchers provide and evidence that it is necessary to develop an ecologically friendly approach pest control. This reflected in a sharp increase the value of biological insecticide market recent decades. In our study, we found virus strain belonging genus Cypovirus (Reoviridae); was isolated from Dendrolimus sibiricus, possessing attractive features as candidate for mass production agents lepidopteran-pest We describe morphological, molecular, ecological new strain. be...
Assembling and powering ribosomes are energy-intensive processes requiring fine-tuned cellular control mechanisms. In organisms operating under strict nutrient limitations, such as pathogenic microsporidia, conservation of energy via ribosomal hibernation recycling is critical. The mechanisms by which achieved in however, remain poorly understood. Here, we present the cryo–electron microscopy structure ribosome from Paranosema locustae spores, bound conserved eukaryotic factor Lso2....
Phoma-like fungi are known as producers of diverse spectrum secondary metabolites, including phytotoxins. Our bioassays had shown that extracts Paraphoma sp. VIZR 1.46, a pathogen Cirsium arvense, phytotoxic. In this study, two phytotoxically active metabolites were isolated from 1.46 liquid and solid cultures identified curvulin phaeosphaeride A, respectively. The latter is reported also for the first time fungal phytotoxic product with potential herbicidal activity. Both assayed...
We examined whether maize offers enemy-free space (EFS) to its pest Ostrinia nubilalis, and may thereby have contributed divergence from the sibling species, scapulalis, feeding mainly on mugwort, when introduced into Europe five centuries ago. collected larvae (70 populations, 8425 individuals) mugwort (10 1184 recorded parasitism using both traditional (counting emerging parasitoids) molecular methods (detection by specific polymerase chain reaction). The main parasitoid was Macrocentrus...
