NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE EVOLUTION OF HOST SPECIFICITY OF THREE PENICILLIUM SPECIES AND THE PATHOGENICITY OF P. ITALICUM INVOLVING THE INFECTION OF VALENCIA ORANGE (CITRUS SINENSIS)

New insights into the evolution of host specificity of three Penicillium species and the pathogenicity of P. Italicum involving the infection of Valencia orange (Citrus sinensis)

Blue and green molds, the common phenotypes of post-harvest diseases in fruits, are mainly caused by Penicillium fungal species, including P.italicum, P.digitatum, and P.expansum.We sequenced and assembled the genome of a P.italicum strain, which contains 31,034,623 bp with 361 scaffolds and 627 contigs.The mechanisms underlying the evolution of ho

Collective action, premodern good government, and the transformation from subaltern to politically engaged citizenry

Research inspired by collective action theory has provoked a rethinking of premodern governance, 117 AQUAMARINE including state formation.We briefly summarize key elements of this theoretical turn, first, by demonstrating that, as predicted by the existing theory, political collective action is enhanced when the provision of good government motivat
