The response to cabbage looper infestation in Arabidopsis is altered by lowering levels of Zat18 a Q-type C2H2 zinc finger protein

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2022
Q-type C2H2 zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) play a role in plant stress response. Overexpression of individual ZFPs enhances tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought or salt.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

PEDV enters cells through clathrin-, caveolae-, and lipid raft-mediated endocytosis and traffics via the endo-/lysosome pathway

Veterinary Research, 2020
With the emergence of highly pathogenic variant strains, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) has led to significant economic loss in the global swine industry. Many studies have described how coronaviruses enter cells, but information on PEDV invasion
