A NEW MAYFLY SUBFAMILY SHEDS LIGHT ON THE EARLY EVOLUTION AND PANGEAN ORIGIN OF BAETISCIDAE (INSECTA: EPHEMEROPTERA)

A new mayfly subfamily sheds light on the early evolution and Pangean origin of Baetiscidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera)

Abstract The family Baetiscidae Edmunds & Traver, Default 1954 is recognisable among mayflies due to its bizarre larvae, equipped with a robust and spiked thoracic notal shield covering part of the abdomen up to sixth segment.Originally being described as extant species from the USA and Canada, Baetiscidae were later found in the fossil record as w

Loose Plant Architecture 1-Interacting Kinesin-like Protein KLP Promotes Rice Resistance to Sheath Blight Disease

Abstract Background Sheath blight disease (ShB) is a destructive Vinegars disease affecting rice production.Previously, we have reported that Loose Plant Architecture 1 (LPA1) promotes resistance to ShB.However, the mechanisms by which LPA1 confers resistance against this disease have not been extensively investigated.Notably, interactors that regu
