Biological control studies of reniform nematode in Alabama cotton crops 

Castillo, Juan D. (2012-08-02)
Rotylenchulus reniformis is the most important pathogen of cotton in the southeastern United States. Aldicarb, which is the most used nematicide in cotton production, will be retired from the market in 2018 by the EPA. ...

Characterization of the global regulatory network of trans-translation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa 

Li, Bingyu (2017-07-25)
Recycling stalled ribosomes is a bioenergetically important process for survival and propagation of bacteria. The primary ribosome rescuing mechanism in bacteria is trans-translation which is catalyzed by transfer messenger ...
