Synthesis and antiphytoviral activity of α-aminophosphonates containing 3, 5-diphenyl-2-isoxazoline as potential papaya ringspot virus inhibitors
α-Aminophosphonates compounds containing 3,5-diphenyl-2-isoxazoline were synthesized and evaluated for their bioactivity. Seventeen of them showed good bioactivity (protection effect > 50%) in vivo against papaya...

Open AccessImprecise intron losses are less frequent than precise intron losses but are not rare in plants
In this study, we identified 19 intron losses, including 11 precise intron losses (PILs), six imprecise intron losses (IILs), one de-exonization, and one exon deletion in tomato and potato, and 17 IILs in Arabido...

Open AccessObligate mutualism within a host drives the extreme specialization of a fig wasp genome
Fig pollinating wasps form obligate symbioses with their fig hosts. This mutualism arose approximately 75 million years ago. Unlike many other intimate symbioses, which involve vertical transmission of symbion...
