Colour Morphs as Alternative Solutions to the Trade‐Off Predicted by the Immuno‐Competence Handicap Hypothesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we tested whether white and yellow morphs of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) adopt alternative strategies shaped by the immuno‐competence handicap hypotheses (ICHH). We found that testosterone‐induced immune suppression was stronger in white males, while aggression decreased in both morphs.

Coupling gel electrophoresis with photoluminescence reveals biochrome complexes in modern and fossil shells

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is commonly used to visualize mixtures of proteins, such as those embedded in calcareous biominerals. However, it is ineffective for the detection of biochromes, a major class of low molecular weight organic compounds commonly associated with calcified exoskeletons.

Transcription factor OsBZ8 directly activates multiple methylerythritol 4‐phosphate and the mevalonate pathway genes in rice seeds

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
In a one‐hybrid assay, yeast growth can only be seen in the third segment of the plates (3), confirming that OsBZ8 specifically binds to the G‐box or hybrid G/C‐box motifs in the wild‐type promoters of OsHMGR1, OsDXS2 and OsIPPI1. In contrast, void bait plasmids (1) and constructs under the control of mutant promoters (2) do not support growth ...

Yellow canopy syndrome of sugarcane: A review of current knowledge and future research directions

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a complex issue affecting commercial sugarcane in Australia, first identified in Far North Queensland over a decade ago. It has spread across most cane‐growing regions in Queensland and poses a significant threat to the global sugarcane industry.

Colostrum as a Protective Factor Against Peanut Allergy: Evidence From a Birth Cohort

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates whether partial colostrum feeding (PCF) due to formula supplements in the first 3 days increases the risk of food allergy beyond cow's milk. PCF infants showed increased risk of peanut allergy and multiple food allergies compared to exclusively colostrum‐fed (ECF) infants.
