Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

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.

Testing the sustainability of stockless arable organic farming on a fertile soil (Extension to OF0 145) [PDF]

, 2002
This work contributes to DEFRA’s policy objective of promoting a sustainable, competitive and safe food supply chain which meets consumers’ requirements. It helps to identify sound methods of organic farming, limiting factors and ways of overcoming them.

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

Testing the sustainability of stockless arable organic farming on a fertile soil (OF0145) [PDF]

, 2001
This is the final report of Defra project OF0145. If organic farming is to expand in the arable east of England, where the knowledge, infrastructure and capital for livestock are not available, viable stockless systems will be needed.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Nematode susceptibility in new synthetic banana hybrids of Musa acuminata resistant against Mycosphaerella leaf spot diseases [PDF]

, 2008
Host status of Yellow Sigatoka and Black Leaf Streak disease resistant new hybrids from Cirad, (cvs 916, 918, 919, 920, 921 and 924) to the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis and to the lesion nematode Pratylenchus coffeae were assessed under ...

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),

Decoding stress resilience in soybean: Regulatory networks and precision breeding under climate change

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review covers recent progress in the understanding of stress‐responsive regulatory networks in soybean and highlights emerging genomic and breeding strategies. Integrating molecular insights and precision breeding will help to accelerate the development of climate‐resilient soybean cultivars.
