Activation of three targets by a TAL effector confers susceptibility to bacterial blight of cotton

The paper identifies a newly evolved TALE, Tal7b, that activates multiple GhSWEET genes in cotton, contributing to bacterial blight susceptibility.

Targeted development of diagnostic SNP markers for resistance to Fusarium wilt race 4 in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)

This study identifies diagnostic SNPs for FOV4 resistance in Upland cotton and finds that specific SNP genotypes correlate with reduced vascular discoloration.

Do molecular fingerprints identify diverse active drugs in large-scale virtual screening? (no)

This study evaluates the effectiveness of molecular fingerprints in identifying active drugs during virtual screening and finds they lack discriminative power between active and inactive molecules.

Ablation of colonic epithelial Reg4+ support cells induces Notch-independent regeneration and mesenchymal remodeling.

This study ablates Reg4+ support cells in the colon and finds that it induces Notch-independent regeneration and mesenchymal remodeling without inflammation.

The three dimensional structure of Bovine Salivary Protein 30b (BSP30b) and its interaction with specific rumen bacteria

This study determines the 3D structure of BSP30b and shows its interaction with specific rumen bacteria, suggesting a role in lipid binding and bacterial interaction.

Genomics-enabled analysis of the emergent disease cotton bacterial blight

The paper analyzes the re-emergence of cotton bacterial blight by comparing pathogen genomes and host gene expression to identify virulence mechanisms and resistance strategies.
