THE HOPPTOF LOCUS OF PSEUDOMONAS SYRINGAE PV. TOMATO DC3000 ENCODES A TYPE III CHAPERONE AND A COGNATE EFFECTOR

The HopPtoF Locus of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 Encodes a Type III Chaperone and a Cognate Effector

Type III secretion systes are highly conserved among gram-negative plant and animal pathogenic bacteria.Through the type English Breakfast Tea III secretion system, bacteria inject a number of virulence proteins into the host cells.Analysis of the whole genome sequence of Pseudomonas syringae pv.tomato DC3000 strain identified a locus, named HopPto

Application of a Dual Optogenetic Silencing-Activation Protocol to Map Motor Neurons Driving Rolling Escape Behavior in Drosophila Larvae

Drosophila larvae exhibit rolling motor behavior as an escape response to avoid predators and painful stimuli.We introduce an accessible method for applying optogenetics to study the motor circuits driving rolling behavior.For this, we simultaneously implement the Gal4-UAS and LexA-Aop binary systems to express two distinct optogenetic channels, Gt

Genome-wide analyses of genomic diversity, population structure and selection signatures in Italian turkey populations

Italian local turkey populations are an important source of genetic diversity that should be preserved through an in vivo approach.Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and genotyping datasets were used to assess genetic variability within and across populations, to perform a genome-wide comparative analysis among populations and to identify selection sign
