Protective Effect of Cast-Off Skin of <i>Cicadidae Periostracum</i> Water Extract in a Radiation-Induced Testicular Injury Mice Model. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrCicadidae Periostracum water extract (CPE) pretreatment improved radiation‐induced testicular damage, including apoptosis and decrease of epididymis weight, epithelial height, sperm motility, and sperm number. Two dimeric N‐acetyl dopamine derivatives were isolated from CPE, and the antioxidative activity of CPE was confirmed in radical scavenging and ...

Stable gullies provide a suitable habitat for functional insects and reduce the threat of pests on crops in farmland of Northeast China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study indicated that stable gullies with higher plant diversity provide the best habitat for functional insects rather than forest belts and grassland in the watershed, especially during busy farming activities. The vigorous growth stage was one key period for pest control, and gully as a source of BI can significantly regulate the pests in ...

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Insects that feed on the xylem sap of vascular plants can transmit lethal bacterial pathogens; however, the mechanistic drivers of observed disparities in feeding and pathogen transmission efficiency remain unclear. Here, we used 3D imaging to digitally reconstruct the morphology of three xylem sap‐feeding insect vectors of plant pathogens, revealing ...
