Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Although the heritability of
AD is high, the knowledge of the disease-associated genes, their expression, and their …

Neonicotinoids are implicated in the decline of honey bees, but the molecular basis
underlying adverse effects is poorly known. Here we describe global transcriptomic profiles …

Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating soil-borne bacterial pathogen capable of infecting
many plant species, including tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). However, the perception of …

Wall-associated kinases (Waks) are important components of plant immunity against various
pathogens, including the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst). However, the …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are promising alternatives in the reduction of the
use of chemical fertilizers. Likewise, humic acid (HA) can improve plant growth and/or the …

Plants defend themselves against pathogens using a two-layered immune system. The first
response, pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), is activated upon recognition of microbe …

Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is extensively
applied technique to investigate the transcript abundance of target genes in various …

Background Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is widely used for gene
expression analysis in various organisms. Its accuracy largely relies on the stability of …

Gene duplication and loss contribute to gene content differences as well as phenotypic
divergence across species. However, the extent to which gene content varies among closely …

Key message miR6024 acts as a negative regulator of R genes, hence of Tomato plant
immunity, and facilitates disease by the necrotrophic pathogen A. solani. Abstract Plant …
