Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...

Improving Decision‐Making in the Identification of Tephritidae Larvae at Import in the European Union and Key to Third Instar Larvae

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Tephritidae family, or true fruit flies, comprises approximately 250 species recognized as economically significant due to their capacity to infest commercial fruits. These pests pose serious threats to both food security and trade, and are considered quarantine pests in areas where they are not yet established. In the European Union (EU),

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

A cytochrome P450 gene, GmSUR2a, confers submergence tolerance and improves yield in soybean by modulating auxin homeostasis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The key cytochrome P450 gene GmSUR2a enables soybeans to withstand destructive submergence stress. By lowering the level of the plant hormone indole‐3‐acetic acid, this gene improves soybean survival and increases field yield. It offers an important tool for breeding stress‑resilient soybeans, securing food production against extreme weather conditions.

A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

The genome of the cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. [PDF]

Nature Genetics, 2009
Cucumber is an economically important crop as well as a model system for sex determination studies and plant vascular biology. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Cucumis sativus var. sativus L., assembled using a novel combination of traditional Sanger and next-generation Illumina GA sequencing technologies to obtain 72.2-fold genome coverage.

The OsWRKY15‐OsSUT3 Regulatory Module Enhances Rice Pollen Fertility by Mediating Sucrose Allocation to Anthers

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sucrose transport and starch accumulation are crucial carbohydrate metabolic processes in rice, playing essential roles during late pollen development to ensure pollen maturation, fertility and high grain production. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating sucrose transport and starch accumulation during rice pollen development remain ...
