Animal-Plant Interaction Volume 3
Animal-plant interactions are the relationships between plants and animals that are beneficial to them both in terms of food, shelter, and reproduction. These associations are important for the balance in nature. Plants get benefits from animals in terms of mobility, pollination, and seed dispersal among others.

Why Animal-Plant Interactions Matter More Than Ever?
Animal-plant interactions constitute the structural and functional foundation of ecosystems and regulate processes that shape biodiversity, ecosystem stability and evolutionary trajectories. Over recent decades, ecological research has progressed from descriptive accounts of individual interactions to integrative frameworks that recognize the ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Functional and applied aspects of the DOWNY MILDEW RESISTANT 1 and 6 genes in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2012 Plants are constantly exposed to micro-organisms including pathogens. They are resistant to the vast majority of potential pathogens due to a multilayered defence system. Plant disease susceptibility, on the other hand, is determined by virulence factors

Soil nutrient availability affects tundra plant community composition and plant–vole interactions
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine ResearchClimate change in the Arctic is predicted to drastically alter carbon and nutrient pools, plant communities, and plant–animal interactions. We examined how four levels of long-term (16 years) nutrient addition in moist acidic tundra affected plant ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...
