Interspecific differences in the larval performance of Pieris butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) are associated with differences in the glucosinolate profiles of host plants

, 2019
The tremendous diversity of plants and herbivores has arisen from a coevolutionary relationship characterized by plant defense and herbivore counter adaptation. Pierid butterfly species feed on Brassicales plants that produce glucosinolates as a chemical

Identification of anti-viral activity of the cardenolides, Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitors, against porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 2017
A series of naturally occurring cardenolides that exhibit potent anti‐transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) activity in swine testicular (ST) cells has been identified.

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.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alter above- and below-ground chemical defense expression differentially among Asclepias species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Belowground symbionts of plants can have substantial influence on plant growth and nutrition. Recent work demonstrates that mycorrhizal fungi can affect plant resistance to herbivory and the performance of above and belowground herbivores. Although these

The alpha-synuclein 5'untranslated region targeted translation blockers: anti-alpha synuclein efficacy of cardiac glycosides and Posiphen [PDF]

, 2011
Increased brain α-synuclein (SNCA) protein expression resulting from gene duplication and triplication can cause a familial form of Parkinson's disease (PD).

Evolutionary Changes of GT1 Provide Insights Into the Adaptation of Butterflies to Plant Feeding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We investigated the evolution of glycosyltransferase 1 (GT1) genes in 69 butterfly species to explore their association with host plant adaptation. Our results reveal frequent tandem duplications and adaptive selection in GT1s, especially in UGT33 and UGT40 subfamilies, alongside expression patterns suggesting functional diversification.

Priming of anti-herbivore defence in Nicotiana attenuata by insect oviposition: herbivore-specific effects [PDF]

, 2016
Oviposition by Spodoptera exigua on Nicotiana attenuata primes plant defence against its larvae that consequently suffer reduced performance. To reveal whether this is a general response of tobacco to insect oviposition or species-specific, we ...
