Productivity Growth from Genetic Improvement: Evidence from Illinois Soybean Trial Data

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract In 2023, the United States produced 28% of the world's soybeans, making understanding yield trends in the United States important for understanding global price trends. We estimate yield growth due to genetic change in soybeans using Illinois variety trial data with a modified approach.

Modulation of Arabidopsis Flavonol Biosynthesis Genes by Cyst and Root-Knot Nematodes

Plants, 2020
Although it is well established that flavonoid synthesis is induced in diverse plant species during nematode parasitism, little is known about the regulation of genes controlling flavonol biosynthesis during the plant−nematode interaction.

Zebrafish as a model for Catel–Manzke syndrome—identification and characterization of the zebrafish TGDS ortholog

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Zebrafish Tgds, when expressed as a recombinant protein, catalyzes the dehydration of UDP‐D‐glucose, the initial step in the formation of 6‐deoxyhexoses. Corresponding Tgds mutations found in Catel–Manzke syndrome patients lead to reduced enzymatic activity and stability.

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Electron microscopy‐based three‐dimensional subcellular imaging of plant male gametophyte

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The Aquilos2 Cryo‐FIB workflows provide practical routes for cryo‐electron tomography and volume imaging in plant structural biology. ABSTRACT Understanding cellular events in three dimensions (3D) is of great importance for the annotation and illustration of biological processes in a contextual way. Imaging techniques based on electron microscopy (EM),

Exploring poly‐L‐lysine‐based particle capture for atomic force microscopy studies of extracellular vesicles

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract We herein investigate the effects of varying the main experimental variables in one of the most used protocols for extracellular vesicle (EV) immobilisation on substrates for subsequent atomic force microscopy (AFM) quantitative morphometry and nanoindentation performed in liquid. We introduce the parameter Q as a quantitative measure of total

Pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis exploits the lateral root regulators to induce pluripotency in maize shoots

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Biotrophic plant–pathogens secrete effector molecules to redirect and exploit endogenous signaling and developmental pathways in their favor. The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes galls on all aerial parts of maize. However, the responsible gall‐inducing effectors and corresponding plant signaling pathway(s) remain largely unknown. Using

The potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida overcomes major potato resistance through selection on standing variation at a single locus

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Globodera pallida poses a major threat to potato production, with management strategies primarily relying on genetic resistance. However, increasing virulence in field populations across Western Europe raises major concerns for G. pallida control.

Evaluation of Chemical-Inducible Gene Expression Systems for Beet Cyst Nematode Infection Assays in Arabidopsis thaliana

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
Cyst nematodes co-opt plant developmental programs for the establishment of a permanent feeding site called a syncytium in plant roots. In recent years, the role of plant developmental genes in syncytium formation has gained much attention.
