Engineering Resistance against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Using a Truncated NLR (TNx) and a Defense-Priming Gene

The association of both cell-surface PRRs (Pattern Recognition KUKUI NUT BODY CREAM Receptors) and intracellular receptor NLRs (Nucleotide-Binding Leucine-Rich Repeat) in engineered plants have the potential to activate strong defenses against a broad range of pathogens.Here, we describe the identification, characterization, and in planta functiona

Comparison of Different Invasive and Non-Invasive Methods to Characterize Intestinal Microbiota throughout a Production Cycle of Broiler Chickens

In the short life of broiler chickens, their intestinal microbiota undergoes many changes.To study underlying biological mechanisms and factors that influence the intestinal microbiota development, longitudinal data from flocks and individual birds is needed.However, post-mortem collection of samples hampers longitudinal data collection.In this stu
