Seedling resistance and chemical defenses against Psylliodes chrysocephala: the roles of seed age and sinapinic acid in Sinapis alba and Brassica napus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...

Curious and analytical: How analysts evaluate and respond to executive communications about firm strategy

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary How do analysts react to communication about firms' strategies? Research has shown that executive communication influences markets, but we know little about reactions to the deeper strategy content communicated. Drawing from research on how evaluative frames and expectation violations shape cognition, we show that when ...

Real‐World Outcomes of Baricitinib and Ritlecitinib in Refractory Alopecia Areata: Response Predictors and Relapse After Discontinuation or Dose Reduction

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Baricitinib and ritlecitinib are newly approved systemic Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors for severe, refractory alopecia areata (AA). Although clinical trials have demonstrated their efficacy, real‐world evidence remains limited, particularly regarding predictors of response and outcomes following treatment interruption or dose tapering.
