Article Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) is a homology-dependent gene silencing technology that involves double-stranded RNA directed against a target gene or its promoter region. Using hairpin constructs, double-stranded RNA can be expressed in plants relatively easily, enabling this technology to be applied to a wide range of species to silence the expression of both specific endogenous genes and genes of invading pathogens. RNAi has also been used to engineer metabolic pathways to overproduce secondary products with health, yield or environmental benefits. The application of tissue-specific or inducible gene silencing, with the use of appropriate promoters, and the ability to silence several genes simultaneously should enhance our ability to create novel traits in plants.

Global salinization increasingly threatens ecosystem integrity and the regulation of biogeochemical cycles. Our study reveals novel insights into the microbial contributions to the organohalide decomposition in saline environments, demonstrating the unprecedented ability of organohalide-respiring bacteria and to completely dechlorinate trichloroethene to non-toxic ethene under hypersaline conditions (up to 31.3 g/L) in long-term operations.

Background And Aim: The () gene plays a pivotal role in regulating growth, metabolism, and fat deposition in cattle. Genetic polymorphisms in this gene can influence phenotypic traits and may serve as molecular markers for selection in breeding programs. However, comprehensive characterization of gene variants in local Indonesian breeds, such as Madura cattle, remains limited.

Since its emergence in 2020, a novel bacterial leaf blight caused by Pantoea ananatis has posed a serious threat to rice production in Anhui Province, China. Through verification via Koch's postulates and three years of field monitoring, P. ananatis strain HQ01 was identified as the dominant pathogen, exhibiting high virulence even at low inoculum concentrations (10² CFU/mL).

Background: Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have enabled the collection and sharing of a massive amount of omics data, along with its associated metadata-descriptive information that contextualizes the data, including phenotypic traits and experimental design. Enhancing metadata availability is critical to ensure data reusability and reproducibility and to facilitate novel biomedical discoveries through effective data reuse. Yet, incomplete metadata accompanying public omics data may hinder reproducibility and reusability and limit secondary analyses.
