Duckweeds: Model organisms for research on plant sterols and steroids
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 18-30, January 2026.Duckweeds (Lemnaceae), the fastest‐growing angiosperms and promising vegan protein source, offer a powerful model to address key questions in plant physiology. This article highlights their potential for dissecting the biosynthesis and function of phytosterols, sterol conjugates, brassinosteroids, and specialized steroidal metabolites, such as ...

Bufalin‐Induced Epithelial‐to‐Mesenchymal Transition in Kidney Epithelial Cells
Cell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 1764-1786, December 2025.ABSTRACT The kidney plays a central role in fluid, electrolyte, and blood pressure regulation, processes tightly coupled to Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase activity. Beyond its canonical transport function, Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase also acts as a signaling receptor for cardiotonic steroids (CTSs) such as bufalin, which have been implicated in fibrosis and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal

Impact of Consuming ‘Toxic’ Monarch Caterpillars on Adult Chinese Mantid Mass Gain and Fecundity
Insects, 2017 Predators that feed on chemically-defended prey often experience non-lethal effects that result in learned avoidance of the prey species. Some predators are able to consume toxic prey without ill-effect.

Evolutionarily stable defence and signalling of that defence [PDF]
, 2006 We examine the evolution and maintenance of defence and conspicuousness in prey species using a game theoretic model. In contrast to previous works, predators can raise as well as lower their attack probabilities as a consequence of encountering ...

Host plants and experimental warming impact fitness and infection outcomes in a migratory butterfly
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1159-1171, December 2025.Host plant species interacted with temperature treatment to shape monarch survival and infection probabilities. Temperature modified the expected role of tropical milkweed, which did not confer OE resistance to monarchs under elevated temperatures.

Seasonal and herbivore-induced dynamics of foliar glucosinolates in wild cabbage (Brassica oleracea) [PDF]
, 2018 Levels of plant secondary metabolites are not static and often change in relation to plant ontogeny. They also respond to abiotic and biotic changes in the environment, e.g., they often increase in response to biotic stress, such as herbivory.
