Copper‐Induced Transgenerational Plasticity in Plant Defence Boosts Aphid Fitness
ABSTRACT Transgenerational plasticity in plants is an increasingly recognized phenomenon, yet it is mostly unclear whether transgenerational plasticity is relevant to both the fitness of the plant and its interacting species. Using monoclonal strains of the giant duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza) and its native herbivore, the waterlily aphid ...

Automated Detection and Severity Prediction of Wheat Rust Using Cost‐Effective Xception Architecture
ABSTRACT Wheat crop production is under constant threat from leaf and stripe rust, an airborne fungal disease caused by the pathogen Puccinia triticina. Early detection and efficient crop phenotyping are crucial for managing and controlling the spread of this disease in susceptible wheat varieties. Current detection methods are predominantly manual and

Cyto‐Genotoxic Assessment of Sulfoxaflor in Allium cepa Root Cells and DNA Docking Studies
Cyto‐genotoxic Assessment of Sulfoxaflor in Allium cepa Root Cells and DNA Docking Studies. ABSTRACT Sulfoxaflor (SFX) is an insecticide that is commonly used for the control of sap‐feeding insects. Since SFX is extensively applied globally, it has been implicated in the substantial induction of environmental toxicity.

Discovery and biological characterization of a novel mesoionic insecticide fenmezoditiaz
Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) from the sea slug Aplysia californica was modified using site‐directed mutagenesis to create an insect‐like binding site enabling structure‐based compound design. Fenmezoditiaz is a systemic insecticide with a broad spectrum, lack of cross‐resistance and an additional tool for integrated pest management and ...
