Methods and compositions for controlling corn rootworm

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide compositions comprising Methylobacterium and depleted of substances that promote growth of resident microorganisms on a plant or seed, methods for improving fruit production, methods of making the compositions, and methods of treating a seed with a composition comprising methylobacteria.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide compositions for Methylobacterium formulations with improved viability, shelf-life, and plant or seed treatment characteristics, as well as methods for making and using the formulations.

TL;DR: In this article, isolated yield enhancing Methylobacterium sp. are referred to as simply "Methylobacteria", and methods of using the compositions to increase yield of soybean plants, plant parts, and soybean plant derived therefrom.

TL;DR: In this paper, both compositions comprising Methylobacterium and compositions comprising methylobacteria that are depleted of substances that promote growth of resident microorganisms on a tomato plant or seed are provided.

TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.

TL;DR: A program is described, tRNAscan-SE, which identifies 99-100% of transfer RNA genes in DNA sequence while giving less than one false positive per 15 gigabases.

TL;DR: Velvet represents a new approach to assembly that can leverage very short reads in combination with read pairs to produce useful assemblies and is in close agreement with simulated results without read-pair information.

TL;DR: It is understood that biofilms are universal, occurring in aquatic and industrial water systems as well as a large number of environments and medical devices relevant for public health, and that treatments may be based on inhibition of genes involved in cell attachment and biofilm formation.
