Klebsiella oxytoca is a N-fixing bacterium whose nif (nitrogen fixation) gene expression is controlled by the two antagonistic regulatory proteins NifA and NifL encoded by the nifLA operon. NifA is a transcriptional activator, while NifL inhibits the transcriptional activity of NifA. In order to develop an improved K.

pv. is a pathogen of rice responsible for bacterial leaf streak, a disease that can cause up to 32% yield loss. While it was first reported a century ago in Asia, its first report in Africa was in the 1980s.

Agriculture is extremely vulnerable to climate change and crop production is severely hampered by climate extremes. Not only does it cost growers over US$170Bln in lost production, but it also has major implications for global food security. In this study, we argue that, under current climate scenarios, agriculture in the 21 century will become saline, severely limiting (or even making impossible) the use of traditional cereal crops for human caloric intake.

Light and darkness are critical environmental factors that regulate plant immune responses. OsPIL1, a phytochrome-interacting factor-like protein, has been implicated in rice immunity against Magnaporthe oryzae, although its underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to dissect how OsPIL1 integrates light or darkness to modulate rice immunity.

Background: Entomopathogenic fungi show great potential as biological control agents for managing insect pests. However, host defenses have limited the effectiveness of these fungi in practice. Utilizing genetic engineering-based technology could be a promising strategy to enhance the killing efficiency of these fungi against insect pests.
