Symbiosis is a common phenomenon in which Protection associated organisms can cooperate in ways that increase their ability to survive, reproduce, or utilize hostile environments.Here, we discuss polydnavirus symbionts of parasitic wasps.These viruses are novel in two ways: (1) they have become non-autonomous domesticated entities that cannot repli
AI Diffusion Model-Based Technology for Automating the Multi-Class Labeling of Electron Microscopy Datasets of Brain Cell Organelles for Their Augmentation and Synthetic Generation
A technology for the automatic multi-class labeling of brain electron Organs microscopy (EM) objects needed to create large synthetic datasets, which could be used for brain cell segmentation tasks, is proposed.The main research tools were a generative diffusion AI model and a U-Net-like segmentation model.The technology was studied on the segmenta
Differential Correlation of Transcriptome Data Reveals Gene Pairs and Pathways Involved in Treatment of Citrobacter rodentium Infection with Bioactive Punicalagin
This study is part of the work investigating bioactive fruit enzymes as sustainable alternatives to parasite anthelmintics that can help reverse the trend of lost efficacy.The study looked to define biological and molecular interactions that demonstrate the ability of the pomegranate extract punicalagin against intracellular parasites.The study com
OsRAR1 and OsSGT1 Physically Interact and Function in Rice Basal Disease Resistance
The RAR1 and SGT1 proteins function synergistically or antagonistically in plant innate immune responses.Here, we show that the rice orthologs OsRAR1 and OsSGT1 physically interact in vivo and in yeast.They displayed conserved roles in Arabidopsis disease resistance through ectopic expression in the Arabidopsis rar1 and sgt1 mutants.Overexpression
