IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF VERTICILLIUM NONALFALFAE-RESPONSIVE MICRORNAS IN THE ROOTS OF RESISTANT AND SUSCEPTIBLE HOP CULTIVARS

Identification and Characterization of Verticillium nonalfalfae-Responsive MicroRNAs in the Roots of Resistant and Susceptible Hop Cultivars

MicroRNAs are 21- to 24-nucleotide-long, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.They can modulate various biological processes, including plant response and resistance to fungal pathogens.Hops are grown for use in the brewing industry and, recently, also for the pharmaceutical industry.Severe Vertic

Zika virus: mapping and reprogramming the entry

Abstract Background The flaviviridae family comprises single-stranded RNA viruses that enter cells via clathrin-mediated pH-dependent endocytosis.Although the initial events of the virus entry have been already identified, data regarding intracellular virus trafficking and delivery to the replication site are limited.The purpose of this study was t
