Rice Plasma Membrane Proteomics Reveals Magnaporthe oryzae Promotes Susceptibility by Sequential Activation of Host Hormone Signaling Pathways

Plant plasma membrane (PM) plays important roles in immune response.Here, we utilized quantitative mass spectrometry to explore rice PM protein composition and dynamic changes during Magnaporthe oryzae infection.We report, thus far, the largest rice PM proteome dataset with 3,906 identified proteins, among which 484 proteins were differentially exp

Discrimination of cryptic species: Tabanus triangulum and Tabanus occidentalis (Diptera: Tabanidae) differ in size and shape

Abstract Horse fly females (Diptera, Tabanidae) are hematophagous and can vector pathogens that affect livestock.Complexes of cryptic species are common in Tabanidae, as exemplified by some species of Tabanus, including Tabanus triangulum and Tabanus occidentalis, both prevalent in the Southern region of Brazil.In this study, geometric morphometric
