Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Elevated ozone (O3) modulates phytohormone signals, which subsequently alters the interaction between plants and herbivorous insects. It has been reported that elevated O3 activates the plant abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway, but its cascading ...

Carnivorous plants and their biotic interactions
Journal of Plant Interactions, 2022 Carnivorous plants reverse the order we expect in nature: here, animals do not feed on plants, but plants hunt and feed on animal prey, primarily insects, thereby enabling these plants to survive in nutrient-poor environments.

Using Biotic Interaction Networks for Prediction in Biodiversity and Emerging Diseases [PDF]
, 2008 Networks offer a powerful tool for understanding and visualizing inter-species interactions within an ecology. Previously considered examples, such as trophic networks, are just representations of experimentally observed direct interactions.

Beneficial microbes in a changing environment: are they always helping plants to deal with insects? [PDF]
, 2013 Plants have a complex immune system that defends them against attackers (e.g. herbivores and microbial pathogens) but that also regulates the interactions with mutualistic organisms (e.g.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...

A near-complete genome assembly of Monochamus alternatus a major vector beetle of pinewood nematode
Scientific DataThe Japanese sawyer beetle, Monochamus alternatus, is not only one of the most important wood boring pest itself, but also a major vector of the invasive pinewood nematode (PWN), which is the causal agent of the devastative pine wilt disease (PWD) and ...

Role of gut microbiota in the postnatal thermoregulation of Brandt’s voles
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Homeothermy is crucial for mammals. Postnatal growth is the key period for young offspring to acquire gut microbiota. Although gut microbiota may affect mammal thermogenesis, the impact of developmental regulation of gut microbiota on the ...

Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila
Advanced Science, EarlyView.While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

Insect Feeding Assays with Spodoptera exigua on Arabidopsis thaliana
Bio-Protocol, 2020 Plant-insect interaction is an important field for studying plant immunity. The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is one of the best-known agricultural pest insects and is usually used to study plant interactions with chewing insects. Here, we describe a
