Wolbachia infections are virulent and inhibit the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in Anopheles gambiae.
TL;DR: Although not virulent in non-bloodfed mosquitoes, wMelPop exhibits a novel phenotype and is extremely virulent for approximately 12–24 hours post-bloodmeal, after which surviving mosquitoes exhibit similar mortality trajectories to control mosquitoes, suggesting that if stable transinfections act in a similar manner to somatic infections, Wolbachia could potentially be used as part of a strategy to control the Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit malaria.
1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) concentration and ACC synthase expression in soybean roots, root tips, and soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines)-infected roots
TL;DR: expression analysis of 17 ACC synthase (ACS) genes indicated that a select set of ACS genes is expressed in SCN-colonized root pieces that is clearly different from the set of genes expressed in non-colonsized roots or root tips, and semi-quantitative real-time PCR indicated that ACS transcript accumulation correlates with the high concentration of ACC in root tips.
Invasion of wolbachia into anopheles and other insect germlines in an ex vivo organ culture system
TL;DR: The cultured germline tissues of two major Anopheline vectors of Plasmodium parasites are susceptible to Wolbachia infection, which enhances the prospect of using Wolbachio for the biological control of malaria.
Disease- and Performance-Related Traits of Ethylene-Insensitive Soybean

TL;DR: Comparing previously isolated ethylene-insensitive lines of soybean to their isogenic, ethylenesensitive parent with respect to disease resistance, seed yield, and other field performance traits revealed no changes in susceptibility to Septoria brown spot disease, flowering date, plant height, or seed total protein and oil concentration.

Characterization of Several Heterodera glycines mRNA that Encode Small Proteins with Putative Signal Peptides
TL;DR: Two subtraction libraries were prepared from RNA extracted at early and late stages in the development of soybean cyst nematodes (SCN), Heterodera glycines, in soybean roots, and in situ hybridization indicated that three of the selected transcripts were expressed in the female reproductive system.
