Insecticidal activity of a protein extracted from bulbs of Phycella australis Ravenna against the aphids Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris and Myzus persicae Sulzer [PDF]
Aphids cause significant losses in many agricultural crops and in many cases cause repeated insecticide sprays, which increase the risk of resistance. Therefore, other alternatives are needed to control them.

Open data phylometabolomics reveals turnover-dominated chemical divergence and clade-specific physicochemical regimes across angiosperms. [PDF]
Significance Statement Using an open, reproducible phylometabolomics pipeline (LOTUS + standardized taxonomy; ~77 000 occurrences), we show that angiosperm chemodiversity diverges primarily by turnover (replacement), not nested accumulation. Despite this dynamism, major clades occupy distinct physicochemical regimes, revealing conserved constraints ...
