Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...

The roads most traveled: genetic convergence in plant repeated evolution

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Observation of a genotype–phenotype association in a focal lineage (magnifying lens) provides a starting point for predicting homolog reuse during repeated trait evolution. This review suggests that the likelihood that mutations in homologous genes contribute to similar phenotypes in other lineages depends on both mutational effect stability (MES) and ...

Mutual antagonism between auxin and diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 regulates high‐temperature‐induced hypocotyl elongation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proposed model for auxin–DGAT2 crosstalk regulating high‐temperature‐induced hypocotyl elongation. Summary Cell elongation is a fundamental process in plant growth and development, and it is significantly affected by temperature changes. While the signaling mechanisms driving high‐temperature‐induced cell elongation have been extensively studied, the ...

Metabolic Reprogramming and GM‐CSF Secretion in Areca Nut‐Activated Fibroblasts Drive Oral Precancer Progression

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Oral cancer, with a rising global incidence and poor prognosis, is associated with areca nut use in South and Southeast Asia. In this study, we addressed the effects of areca nut extract (ANE) on oral carcinogenesis by modulating fibroblast behavior in oral tissue.

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

open access: yesPlant 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 ...
