You get what you pay for: reward-specific trade-offs among direct and ant-mediated defences in plants

open access: yes, 2015
Plant defences against herbivores include direct defences such as secondary metabolites or physical structures (e. g. trichomes) as well as indirect defences mediated via mutualistic interactions with other organisms including ants.

De novo synthesis of short‐chain aldehydes and hydrocarbons secreted by the brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, mainly secretes 4‐oxo‐(E)‐2‐hexenal, (E)‐2‐decenal, dodecane and tridecane, a mixture representative of that released by many heteropterans. We demonstrated that H. halys can synthesise these secretory components de novo using dietary glucose.

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Supporting Information from Pollen chemical and mechanical defences restrict host-plant use by bees

open access: yes
Plants produce an array of chemical and mechanical defences that provide protection against many herbivores and pathogens. Putatively defensive compounds and structures can even occur in floral rewards: for example, the pollen of some plant taxa contains

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

Design and evaluation of FEBS Education and Training Academy module – Integrating generative artificial intelligence into life‐science education

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Life‐science educators from 14 countries redesigned their own course materials with generative AI in a three‐session, pedagogy‐first FEBS Education and Training Academy workshop built on PICRAT. Among 12 matched respondents, four more reported high confidence in each of five practical domains, and 10 of 13 reported implementing at least one idea ...

Chemical toxins and body defences.

open access: yesBiologist (London, England), 2002
Without realising it, we are all exposed to a wide range of toxins every day. Some are a natural part of our diet and environment and some are man-made. Over evolutionary time, biochemical pathways are developed that have allowed our bodies to cope with this onslaught.
