Open AccessEndolysin LysEF-P10 shows potential as an alternative treatment strategy for multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecalis infections
Phage-derived lysins can hydrolyse bacterial cell walls and show great potential for combating Gram-positive pathogens. In this study, the potential of LysEF-P10, a new lysin derived from a isolated Enterococcus ...

Open AccessLysGH15 kills Staphylococcus aureus without being affected by the humoral immune response or inducing inflammation
The lysin LysGH15, derived from the staphylococcal phage GH15, exhibits a wide lytic spectrum and highly efficient lytic activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Here, we found that Ly...

Expression of artificial microRNAs in tomato confers efficient and stable virus resistance in a cell-autonomous manner
Expression of artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs) in plants can target and degrade the invading viral RNA, consequently conferring virus resistance. Two amiRNAs, targeting the coding sequence shared by the 2a and 2...

Overexpression of SlGMEs leads to ascorbate accumulation with enhanced oxidative stress, cold, and salt tolerance in tomato
GDP-Mannose 3′,5′-epimerase (GME; EC 5.1.3.18) catalyses the conversion of GDP-d-mannose to GDP-l-galactose, an important step in the ascorbic acid (AsA) biosynthesis pathway in higher plants. In this study, two ...

Over-expression of microRNA169 confers enhanced drought tolerance to tomato
Plant miRNA regulates multiple developmental and physiological processes, including drought responses. We found that the accumulation of Sly-miR169 in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) was induced by drought stress. ...
