Ecology and Evolution, 2020 To understand how comprehensive plant defense phenotypes will respond to global change, we investigated the legacy effects of elevated CO2 on the relationships between chemical resistance (constitutive and induced via mechanical damage) and regrowth ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Managing milkweed (Asclepias spp.) is of high conservation concern due to its association with monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus L.), which are proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act. To counteract monarch declines, conservation goals aim to establish ≥1.6 billion nonagricultural milkweed stems within the Midwestern United ...

Genetic Variation in Chemical Defence Affects Protection of an Herbivorous Insect Against Predation
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.ABSTRACT Genetic variation contributes to intraspecific differences in the chemical defence in many insect species, yet the underlying genetic mechanisms remain poorly understood. The horseradish flea beetle, Phyllotreta armoraciae, sequesters glucosinolates from its horseradish host plant and activates them using endogenous myrosinase enzymes.

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT The green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) using plant‐based resources has gained significant traction as an environmentally benign, cost‐effective, and scalable alternative to traditional chemical and physical methods. This review comprehensively explores the plant‐mediated synthesis routes for a variety of MONPs, including CuO,

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications
Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 653-673, 1 March 2026.Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...

A New Cardenolide and Other Compounds from
Natural Product Communications, 2017 One new cardenolide, 3- O -β-D-allopyranosylcoroglaucigenin (salsotetragonin) ( 1 ), was isolated from the aerial parts of Salsola tetragona Delile with four known cardenolides ( 2–5 ), two known flavonoids ( 6–7 ), three known phenolic compounds ( 8–10 )

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2006 Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are the leading cause of cancer deaths in most developed countries. Targeting heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) expression and function, together with the induction of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), could ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 501-516, February 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coevolutionary arms races between plants and insects, in which gains of novel plant defences select for counteradaptations in herbivores, are key drivers of biodiversity.
