Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) L’Hér. ex Vent., Microstegium vimineum (Trin.) A.Camus and Parthenium hysterophorus L. imported into the Netherlands via potted ornamentals or their coco peat substrate

EPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract While the presence of invasive plants as contaminants in potted plants is a well‐known phenomenon, its significance as a potential phytosanitary risk remains frequently underestimated. Coco peat, often used as a growing medium for potted plants, is also imported as a standalone commodity, creating an additional pathway for introduction.

Philosophers of Science Facilitated Intellectual Exchange Between Developmental Approaches in Ethology and Evolutionary Biology

Ethology, EarlyView.
In this study, we trace the parallels between developmental approaches in ethology (developmental psychobiology) and evolutionary biology (the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis), with a focus on the theoretical contributions of Meredith J. West and Andrew P. King.

Structural insights into xyloglucan recognition by an ABC transporter from a Gram‐positive, thermophilic bacterium

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Athe_2052 is an ABC transporter substrate‐binding protein that recognizes xyloglucan heptasaccharide (XXXG), a soluble breakdown product of plant xyloglucan. The crystal structure of Athe_2052, together with binding assays and computational modeling, shows how XXXG is recognized by this sugar transporter.

Stand structure of Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons in different successional stages in Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica

, 2011
The two major groups of angiosperms, monocotyledons and dicotyledons, differ in several of their life history traits. Despite the obvious differences between the two groups, there are few studies elaborating on how these may relate to their ecological ...

Insights into tandem dioxygenases—copper radical oxidases in fungal Phytopathogens of the Colletotrichum acutatum species complex

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In Colletotrichum acutatum species complex, conserved ring‐cleavage dioxygenases located adjacent to AA5_2 enzymes were investigated as potential redox partners. Biochemical analyses identified the dioxygenases as intradiol‐cleaving enzymes preferentially oxidizing methyl‐substituted catechols, while AA5_2 enzymes displayed weak alcohol oxidase ...

New insights from data analysis of 12 global clinical studies on hair shedding

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Analysis of 12 clinical studies conducted across eight countries indicated that the majority of the hair loss (shedding) originates from the root and occurs throughout the hair care procedures (washing, drying and combing). In females, the ‘older’ group experienced more hair fall than the ‘younger’ group.

Natural variation in the GNH1 promoter enhances plant height and grain yield in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Natural variation in the GRAIN NUMBER AND PLANT HEIGHT 1 (GNH1) promoter alleviates repression by the C2H2‐type transcription factor ZFP36, upregulating GNH1 expression and promoting auxin accumulation, thereby increasing rice plant height and grain yield. This elite allele serves as a valuable genetic resource for molecular breeding of high‐yield rice.

De betekenis van tweezaadlobbige graslandplanten voor de minerale samenstelling van weidegras [PDF]

, 1957
In 169 paddocks of widely different soil fertility three random samples, one of dicotyledons, one of associated grasses and one of the soil were obtained.

Natural variation in GmSOP5 regulates seed oil and protein content during soybean domestication

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The domestication‐related gene Seed Oil and Protein 5 regulates seed oil and protein content without a yield penalty, providing insight into early soybean domestication and identifying a genetic pathway that balances the trade‐off between seed quality and yield in soybean.
