However, these examples of insecticide resistance can be considered as intergenic compensatory mechanisms. In contrast, whereas intragenic mutations are a common compensatory mechanism of resistance in viruses or bacteria, they appear to be less common in insects. Multiple mutations, associated with ...
While examples of HGT from nuclear genomes are accumulating, mitogenome exam- ples still remain a substantial portion of the evidence for HGT in plants. A group of plants whose lifestyle makes them more likely to experience HGT are parasites [14, 15], largely because of their close physical...

Other examples of specific elicitors include the NIP1 peptide of the barley pathogen Rhynchosporium secalis (14), the coat protein of tobacco mosaic virus (15), and the syringolide of the bacterial soybean pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea (16). However, no specific elicitor has ...
whereas the host tends to improve its resistance, the parasite is permanently under selection for increased success1,2,3. Although the counterstrategies that parasites have evolved to subvert host defenses are well characterized, the molecular bases of the adaptations of parasites to their hosts are...
[2], and is now thought to potentially have a role in adaptation, as shown in recent examples from plants [3,4]. While the concept is sometimes extended to include transfers between cellular compartments (e.g. chloroplast to mitochondrion), we here refer to HGT as exchange of genetic ...
Since the health outcome of interest is in the form of case count data, a common likelihood for hierarchical modeling is the Poisson model (see examples [15,16,17,18]) as y_{it} \sim Poisson(\mu_{it} ) where \mu_{it} is the mean malaria incidence in each province and month. To...
In particular, ever-changing suites of parasites seem to offer a badly-needed explanation for the existence of "heritable fitness," and even the existence of sex itself. (S.W. Gangestad, 1993.) Self-generated adaptation pressure occurs when a species opportunistically moves into a new niche, ...
These parasites expressed SMP1::eGFP, a Leishmania-specific small myristoylated protein that is present at a high concentration on the inner face of the flagellar membrane44, as a bright fluorescent flagellum marker independent of internal flagellum structure. For viable cells, the long 9 þ 2 ...
