Tailoring IPM plans to fight a cloaked pest: helping smallholder farmers combat the sweetpotato weevil in sub-Saharan Africa by Chad A. Keyser, Frederick S. Walters, Haley Turner, Elka Armstrong, Jeff Davis, Brooke Bissinger, Brant Johnson, Agnes Alajo, Paul Musana, Joseph Odongo, Benard Yada, Milton A. Otema

“…In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), sweetpotato serves as an important year-round source of calories and nutrition, a form of income for smallholder and pre-commercial farmers, and is increasingly used as silage for animal feed. However, yield per hectare is considerably lower in SSA than from other regions primarily due to sweetpotato weevils (SPW, Cylas spp., Coleoptera: Brentidae). …”

MaizeCODE reveals bi-directionally expressed enhancers that harbor molecular signatures of maize domestication by Jonathan Cahn, Michael Regulski, Jason Lynn, Evan Ernst, Cristiane de Santis Alves, Srividya Ramakrishnan, Kapeel Chougule, Sharon Wei, Zhenyuan Lu, Xiaosa Xu, Umamaheswari Ramu, Jorg Drenkow, Melissa Kramer, Arun Seetharam, Matthew B. Hufford, W. Richard McCombie, Doreen Ware, David Jackson, Michael C. Schatz, Thomas R. Gingeras, Robert A. Martienssen

“…Integrated analysis with chromatin modifications results in the identification of a comprehensive set of regulatory regions in each tissue of each inbred, and notably of distal enhancers expressing non-coding enhancer RNAs bi-directionally, reminiscent of “super enhancers” in animal genomes. Furthermore, the morphological traits selected during domestication are recapitulated, both in gene expression and within regulatory regions containing enhancer RNAs, while highlighting the conflict between enhancer activity and silencing of the neighboring transposable elements.…”
