‘More Beastliness Than Beauty’: Gendering Pica in Seventeenth‐Century English Medicine and Culture

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Today, defined as the ‘persistent eating of non‐nutritive substances’, pica is a lesser‐known eating disorder with a long history. Defined in early modern England as the ‘desire to eat absurd things’, pica was explicitly gendered, associated with pregnant women and pubescent girls.

Assessing the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We investigated the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an emerging pest species in Europe, by combining molecular and ecological approaches. The winter host plant was confirmed as apricot by both methods.

Genome assembly of Elcysma westwoodi provides insights into host‐plant cyanogenic glucoside detoxification and chemical defence gene evolution

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A chromosome‐level genome of Elcysma westwoodi was assembled. The genome encodes 272 detoxification‐related genes. A single‐copy bCAS was retained for cyanide detoxification. CYP405A and CYP332A were recruited into cyanogenic defence evolution. UGT33A retained a conserved GT‐B fold and catalytic domains.

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

Iron homeostasis in the annual and perennial stem zones of Arabis alpina

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Iron accumulates in secondary growth tissues in the perennial stem zone and is correlated with particular gene expression patterns in the perennial model plant Arabis alpina. Abstract Plants store nutrients, including the micronutrient iron, in bioavailable forms to support growth in subsequent seasons. The perennial lifestyle is preponderant in nature.
