Selection on genome‐wide gene expression plasticity of rice in wet and dry field environments

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Gene expression can be highly plastic in response to environmental variation. However, we know little about how expression plasticity is shaped by natural selection and evolves in wild and domesticated species. We used genotypic selection analysis to characterize selection on drought‐induced plasticity of over 7,500 leaf transcripts of 118 ...

Molecular Adjustment to a Social Niche: Brain Transcriptomes Reveal Divergent Influence of Social Environment on the Two Queen Morphs of the Ant Temnothorax rugatulus

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social insects form complex societies with division of labour between different female castes. In most species, a single queen heads the colony; in others, several queens share the task of reproduction. These different social organisations are often associated with distinct queen morphologies and life‐history strategies and occur in different ...

Luminal Phospholipase D Attacks Bacterial Membranes in Dictyostelium discoideum Phagosomes

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
This study shows that PldX, a luminal Phospholipase D, is necessary for the efficient destruction of ingested Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria in Dictyostelium discoideum phagosomes. PldX and the AlyL lysozyme together attack the bacterial membrane and permeabilize it. To date, the molecular substrate of PldX remains to be determined. ABSTRACT Phagocytic

The synaptonemal complex stabilizes meiosis in allotetraploid Brassica napus and autotetraploid Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 2, Page 581-597, April 2025.
Summary Polyploidy plays a key role in genome evolution and crop improvement. The formation of bivalents rather than multivalents during meiosis of polyploids is essential to ensure meiotic stability and optimal fertility of the species. However, the mechanisms preventing multivalent recombination in polyploids remain obscure.

Advancing forest pathology: the need for community‐driven molecular experimental model systems

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Forests world‐wide are under escalating threat from emerging and invasive fungal and oomycete pathogens, driven by globalization and shifting climate dynamics. Effective strategies to manage the current scale and rate of changes in forest health remain hindered by our limited ability to study the underlying mechanisms of pathogen–host and ...

Mass spectrometry reveals age‐dependent collagen decline in murine atria

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Using mass spectrometry, we analyzed the atrial ECM of young (12 weeks) and old (77 weeks) C57BL/6J mice. Results showed a marked decrease in collagen content with age, alongside increases in specific ECM‐related proteins (e.g., MMP9, S100A9, VWA3A).

OsLC1, a transaldolase, regulates cell patterning and leaf morphology through modulation of secondary metabolism

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1751-1767, May 2025.
Summary Leaf morphogenesis is a crucial process in plants that governs essential physiological functions such as photosynthesis and transpiration. Despite significant advances in understanding leaf development, the mechanism of intricate cellular patterning remains elusive.
