Insect Science, EarlyView.Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionTraditional rapeseed breeding is inefficient and imprecise. CRISPR genome editing offers a precise alternative for trait improvement. Here, we edited the Bnaida gene in elite rapeseed cultivar ZS11 to study its role in floral organ abcission ...

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
Insect Science, EarlyView.The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Elucidating R‐gene‐mediated resistance to wheat dwarf virus in Triticum aestivum genotypes
Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.This study investigates R‐gene‐mediated resistance to wheat dwarf virus (WDV) among different wheat genotypes. Following inoculation with Psammotettix alienus (leafhoppers) and the subsequent appearance of characteristic symptoms such as yellowing and dwarfing, phenotypic responses were evaluated alongside molecular analyses, including quantification ...

An evaluation of nine backcross-derived wheats
Hilgardia, 1947 Abstract does not appear. First page follows. The improvement of established varieties of wheat through use of the backcross method of breeding was pioneered at the California Agricultural Experiment Station (Briggs, 1930).3 It seems advisable to present a new appraisal of the method that is based upon recent progress.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.

Isoform- and Cell-Specific Function of Tyrosine Decarboxylase in the Drosophila Malpighian Tubule [PDF]
, 2009 The biogenic amine tyramine (TA) is a potent diuretic factor when applied to the Malpighian tubule (MT) of Drosophila melanogaster, stimulating both urine production and transepithelial chloride conductance.

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.A single amino acid change (L108I) combined with PrP overexpression drives spontaneous atypical prion formation in mice, enabling also efficient propagation of diverse prion strains. This model allows studying how spontaneous prion diseases arise and provides powerful tools for investigating strain emergence, transmission barriers, and mechanisms ...

Nature Communications, 2018 Fish have a high diversity of sex-determining systems, but the mechanisms responsible for this are not well understood. Here, Franchini et al. show how hybridization and backcrossing have led to the evolution of a new sex chromosome in swordtail fish ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Migraine is a neurovascular disorder largely mediated by calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP). This study explores the role of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)–N/OFQ receptor (NOP) system in CGRP‐induced periorbital mechanical allodynia (PMA) in mice.
