Amaryllis Lesion Nematode, Pratylenchus hippeastri Inserra et al., 2006 (Nematoda: Tylenchida: Pratylenchidae)

Amaryllis lesion nematode is an important atmas scarab nematode pest of amaryllis in Florida.It reduces plant vigor, flower yield, and bulb size.As the nematodes tunnel through the root, the damaged cells die and collapse, forming lesions on the exterior and the interior of the root tissue.This 4-page fact sheet was written by William T.Crow and pu

Identifying and assessing a prognostic model based on disulfidptosis-related genes: implications for immune microenvironment and tumor biology in lung adenocarcinoma

IntroductionLung cancer, with the highest global mortality rate among cancers, presents a grim prognosis, often diagnosed at an advanced stage in nearly 70% of cases.Recent research has unveiled a novel mechanism of cell death termed disulfidptosis, which is facilitated by glucose scarcity and the protein SLC7A11.MethodsUtilizing the least absolute
