Chloroplast DNA Diversity of Oak Species in Eastern Romania
The chloroplast DNA of 34 sessile oak (Quercus petraea) and 27 pedunculate oak (Q. robur) populations covering the entire natural distribution of the two oak species in Eastern Romania was investigated using four large regions of the chloroplast genome ...

Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) infection induces production of neophytadiene, a volatile resulting from chlorophyll degradation that is highly attractive to whiteflies. OBP2, an odorant‐binding protein from insect vector B. tabaci, exhibits a strong binding affinity for neophytadiene.

A generalised approach to the study and understanding of adaptive evolution
ABSTRACT Evolutionary theory has made large impacts on our understanding and management of the world, in part because it has been able to incorporate new data and new insights successfully. Nonetheless, there is currently a tension between certain biological phenomena and mainstream evolutionary theory.

Manipulating the Light Systemic Signal HY5 Greatly Improve Fruit Quality in Tomato
This study establishes that HY5, activated by low‐dose light, acts as a systemic signal to enhance tomato fruit quality by directly promoting carotenoid synthesis and sugar metabolism. These findings demonstrate HY5's mobility from leaves to fruits and its application potential through nighttime LED lighting, offering a practical strategy for crop ...

Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects
Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

Engineering antibodies with cancer‐associated binding sites
This review describes antibodies that perform direct/indirect roles in cancer treatment by binding to effective targets and discusses how antibodies kill tumors and modulate tumor microenvironment through these targets. The classification of expression systems for antibody production is summarized to guide appropriate selection based on different ...

Homogenisation of water and sediment bacterial communities in a shallow lake (lake Balihe, China)
Abstract Planktonic and benthic bacterial communities hold central roles in the functioning of freshwater ecosystems and mediate key ecosystem services such as primary production and nutrient remineralisation. Although it is clear that such communities vary in composition both within and between lakes, the environmental factors and processes shaping ...

Context and Mutation in Gymnosperm Chloroplast DNA
Mutations and subsequent repair processes are known to be strongly context-dependent in the flowering-plant chloroplast genome. At least six flanking bases, three on each side, can have an influence on the relative rates of different types of mutation at any given site.
