Non‐seed plants are emerging gene sources for agriculture and insect control proteins
The Plant Journal, Volume 116, Issue 1, Page 23-37, October 2023., 2023 SUMMARY The non‐seed plants (e.g., charophyte algae, bryophytes, and ferns) have multiple human uses, but their contributions to agriculture and research have lagged behind seed plants. While sharing broadly conserved biology with seed plants and the major crops, non‐seed plants sometimes possess alternative molecular and physiological adaptations ...

Global patterns and drivers of genetic diversity among marine habitat‐forming species
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 7, Page 1218-1229, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Intraspecific genetic diversity is one of the pillars of biodiversity, supporting the resilience and evolutionary potential of populations. Yet, our knowledge regarding the patterns of genetic diversity at macroecological scales, so‐called macrogenetic patterns, remains scarce, particularly in marine species.

Neuropeptides and degenerin/epithelial Na+ channels: a relationship from mammals to cnidarians
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1583-1595, 1 May 2023., 2023 Abstract figure legend Several degenerin (DEG)/epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) ion channels interact with neuropeptides. Some DEG/ENaCs from vertebrates, including humans, are modulated by neuropeptides, whereas others, from bilaterian invertebrates and cnidarians, are directly activated by them. For modulation, neuropeptides [here, RFamides (RFa)] bind,

The diverse functions of the DEG/ENaC family: linking genetic and physiological insights
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1521-1542, 1 May 2023., 2023 Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of the diverse modulators and stimuli that influence DEG/ENaC function (blue arrows) and the diverse range of functions in which they have been implicated (green arrows), in an array of animals, exemplified by those depicted.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 382-395, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Species identification is pivotal in biodiversity assessments and proteomic fingerprinting by MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry has already been shown to reliably identify calanoid copepods to species level. However, MALDI‐TOF data may contain more information beyond mere species identification.

Structure and evolution of neuronal wiring receptors and ligands
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 27-60, January 2023., 2023 Abstract One of the fundamental properties of a neuronal circuit is the map of its connections. The cellular and developmental processes that allow for the growth of axons and dendrites, selection of synaptic targets, and formation of functional synapses use neuronal surface receptors and their interactions with other surface receptors, secreted ...

Proteomic Analysis of the Venom of Jellyfishes Rhopilema esculentum and Sanderia malayensis
Marine Drugs, 2020 Venomics, the study of biological venoms, could potentially provide a new source of therapeutic compounds, yet information on the venoms from marine organisms, including cnidarians (sea anemones, corals, and jellyfish), is limited.

Identification and Verification of the Blue Pigment in the Edible Jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum)
Aquaculture Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Rhopilema esculentum is widely cultured in Chinese coastal regions and has thousand years of consumption history in China. Despite R. esculentum owns multiple colors (mainly ochre and blue) in aquaculture ponds, little is known about the pigments and color formation. This study identified and verified the blue pigment of R. esculentum.

Chironex fleckeri (Box Jellyfish) Venom Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014 The box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri produces extremely potent and rapid-acting venom that is harmful to humans and lethal to prey. Here, we describe the characterization of two C. fleckeri venom proteins, CfTX-A (∼40 kDa) and CfTX-B (∼42 kDa), which were isolated from C.
