GENOME-WIDE DNA METHYLATION AND TRANSCRIPTOMIC PROFILES IN THE LIFESTYLE STRATEGIES AND ASEXUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOREST FUNGAL PATHOGEN HETEROBASIDION PARVIPORUM

Heterobasidion parviporum is the most devastating fungal pathogen of conifer forests in Northern Europe.The fungus has dual life strategies, necrotrophy on living trees and saprotrophy on dead woods.DNA cytosine methylation is an important epigenetic modification in eukaryotic organisms.Our presumption is that the lifestyle transition and asexual d

Poster The PLATZ gene family, known for its pivotal roles in regulating plant growth, development, and stress responses, is of great significance in rice biology and crop improvement efforts.In this study, we undertook a comprehensive identification and analysis of the PLATZ gene family across 10 Oryza genus species, including both cultivated and w

Studies on the field trapping of coffee berry borer (CBB, Hypothenemus hampei) have been conducted to evaluate trap color, trap design and lures (attractant substances).The trials were conducted in a Robusta coffee plantation in East Java during August to December 2004.The trap color evaluated were red, orange, yellow, green and blue, set up in the

Abstract Thermal-stress events have changed the structure, biodiversity, and functioning of coral reefs.But how these disturbances affect the dynamics of individual coral colonies remains unclear.By tracking the fate of 1069 individual Acropora and massive Porites coral colonies for up to 5 years, spanning three bleaching events, we reveal striking

African forest elephants face severe threats from illegal killing for ivory and bushmeat and habitat conversion.Due to their cryptic nature and inaccessible range, little information on the biology of this species has been collected despite its iconic status.Compiling individual based monitoring data collected over 20 years from the Dzanga Bai popu
