MdNAC4 Interacts With MdAPRR2 to Regulate Nitrogen Deficiency-Induced Leaf Senescence in Apple (Malus domestica)

Nitrogen (N) is one of the important macronutrients in plants, and N deficiency induces leaf senescence.However, the molecular mechanism underlying how N deficiency affects leaf senescence is unclear.Here, we report an apple NAC TF, MdNAC4, that participates in N deficiency-induced leaf senescence.The senescence phenotype of apple leaves overexpres

Evidence of Subterranean Termite Feeding Deterrent Produced by Brown Rot Fungus Fibroporia radiculosa (Peck) Parmasto 1968 (Polyporales, Fomitopsidaceae)

We found that decayed wood stakes with no termite damage collected from a termite-infested field exhibited a deterrent effect against the termite Reticulitermes speratus, OREGA CINNAMON Kolbe, 1885.The effect was observed to be lost or reduced by drying.After identification, it was found that the decayed stakes were infected by brown rot fungus Fib
