Mycobacterium bovis: A Model Pathogen at the Interface of Livestock, Wildlife, and Humans by Mitchell V. Palmer, Tyler C. Thacker, W. Ray Waters, Christian Gortázar, Leigh A. L. Corner

“…Today, reservoirs of Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of tuberculosis in animals, and sometimes humans, exist in a range of countries and wild animal populations. Free-ranging populations of white-tailed deer in the US, brushtail possum in New Zealand, badger in the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, and wild boar in Spain exemplify established reservoirs of M. bovis. …”

Interspecific potato hybrids as donors of durable resistance to pathogens by E. V. Rogozina, E. E. Khavkin

“…In the pedigrees of many recent varieties (breeding lines) that are resistant to pathogens of different nature (fungi, oomycetes, bacteria or viruses), we find genetic material of Solanum andigenum, S. demissum, S. stoloniferum, S. acaule, S. vernei and other wild and cultivated potato species. The breeding value of tuber-bearing Solanum species depends on their compatibility with the cultivated potato and the mechanism of target trait inheritance. …”

Genome-wide association studies in lettuce reveal the interplay of seed age, color, and germination under high temperatures by Sookyung Oh, Ezekiel Ahn, Ainong Shi, Beiquan Mou, Sunchung Park

“…Abstract Thermoinhibition, the suppression of seed germination by high temperatures, is an adaptive trait that ensures successful seedling establishment in natural environments. While beneficial for wild plants, thermoinhibition can adversely affect crop yields due to uneven and reduced germination rates, particularly in the face of climate change. …”

GC1126A, a novel ADAMTS13 mutein, evades autoantibodies in immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura by Heechun Kwak, Gahee Choi, Suyong Kim, Ji-Min Park, Youngeun Kwon, Yongmin Lee, Chaemok Lee, Shangbin Yang, Spero Cataland, Sunghyun Kim, Soo-Mee Bang, Jae-Ho Yoon, Wooin Lee, Hyun-Ja Nam

“…The selected muteins were assessed for pharmacodynamic biomarkers and pharmacokinetic profiles in the iTTP-mimic and wild-type mice, respectively. GC1126A was the most effective variant for escaping autoantibodies and had a longer half-life than the wild-type ADAMTS13 fragment (MDTCS). …”
