Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Dalbergia species and its phylogenetic implications

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
The pantropical plant genus Dalbergia comprises approximately 250 species, most of which have a high economic and ecological value. However, these species are among the most threatened due to illegal logging and the timber trade.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence and Phylogenetic Analysis of Paeonia ostii

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Paeonia ostii, a common oil-tree peony, is important ornamentally and medicinally. However, there are few studies on the chloroplast genome of Paeonia ostii. We sequenced and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome of P. ostii. The size of the P.

Shifting microbial communities in acidified seawaters: insights from polychaetes living in the CO2 vent of Ischia, Italy

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The microbiome of polychaetes Syllis prolifera and Platynereis massiliensis complex changes in naturally acidified CO2 vents. A slight degree of acidification is associated with relevant changes in the microbial community, stressing the importance of investigations about the possible effects of ocean acidification on key biological and ecological ...

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Gastrochilus sinensis (Orchidaceae, Epidendroideae), a beautiful epiphytic orchid from China

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Gastrochilus sinensis is a beautiful epiphytic orchid with high ornamental value. In this study, the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of G. sinensis was determined using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The de novo assembled chloroplast genome

Characterisation of the complete chloroplast genome of Fortunella Crassifolia Swingle and phylogenetic relationships

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of Fortunella crassifolia Swingle using the HiSeq-4000 sequencing. The chloroplast genome size is 160,229 bp, which consists of a large single-copy region (87,774 bp), a small single-copy region (

Short coiled‐coil proteins from plants and metazoans – the ‘jacks of all trades’

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Short coiled‐coil proteins from plants and metazoans—true ‘jacks of all trades’—play supporting but crucial roles in cellular stress response, metabolism, autophagy, and membrane dynamics. Despite their small size and modest sequence conservation, proteins like plant LSUs and metazoan SCOCs showcase remarkable functional versatility shaped by evolution,
