Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Flavonoids: a metabolic network mediating plants adaptation to their real estate [PDF]

, 2014
From an evolutionary perspective, the emergence of the sophisticated chemical scaffolds of flavonoid molecules represents a key step in the colonization of Earth’s terrestrial environment by vascular plants nearly 500 million years ago.

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Investigating the action model of the resistance enhancement induced by bacterial volatile organic compounds against Botrytis cinerea in tomato fruit

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionInducing natural resistance against pathogen infection in postharvest tomatoes is a sustainable strategy for reducing postharvest losses. The action model underlying the resistance enhancement of tomatoes induced by bacterial volatile organic

Strict Aerobic Lifestyle and Anaerobic Survival of Bacteria: Inseparable Twins?

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For many decades the existence of strict aerobic bacteria was part of every textbook. However, considering habitats like soils or surfaces, many of these microorganisms are exposed to drastic changes in oxygen tension. A simple rain shower can change oxygen diffusion rates by a factor of 10.000.

Pseudomonas volatiles shape the root transcriptome and microbiome to promote plant growth under drought

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by soil bacteria influence interactions with other soil microbes and plants. While their potential as plant growth promoters is well recognized, their role in promoting plant resilience to abiotic stress and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.

StALKBH10B‐Mediated RNA m6A Modification Inhibits Potato Salt Tolerance by Targeting Flavonoids and ABA Signalling Pathways

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent methylation modification present in mRNAs, which has been confirmed to participate in many developmental and biological processes. However, the biological function and specific regulatory mechanism of m6A modification in relation to salt tolerance of potato remain obscure.
