Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) causes diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis with life-threatening complications, such as hemolytic uremic syndrome. Their major virulence factor is Shiga toxin (Stx), which is encoded by bacteriophages. Of the two types of Stx, the production of Stx2, particularly that o...

Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2), one of the most important virulence factors of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), is encoded by phages. These phages (Stx2 phages) are often called lambda-like. However, most Stx2 phages are short-tailed, thus belonging to the family Podoviridae, and the functions of m...

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is maternally inherited trait, which hinders the ability to produce viable pollen in plants. It serves as a useful tool for hybrid seed production via exploiting heterosis in crops. The molecular mechanism of CMS and fertility restoration has been investigated in dif...
