Objective

Many C. elegans aging studies use the compound 5-fluro-2ʹ-deoxyuridine (FUdR) to produce a synchronous population of worms. However, the effects of FUdR on the bacterial gene expression of OP50 E. coli, the primary...

Ceramide glucosyltransferase (CGT) adds sugar moieties to ceramide, forming glucosylceramides that play roles in immune signaling, stress response, and host-bacterial interactions. Here, we examined whether mutations in cgt...

Stegemann, Katherine A., Collins, Carina, Melena, I., King, C., and Greenwood, K.

Phloem is a critical tissue that transports photosynthates and extracellular signals in vascular plants. Although a functional phloem is necessary for plant health, it is also an ideal environment for pathogens to access host...
