Complex engineering of Solanum alkaloids structural diversity in Nicotiana benthamiana
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 328-345, January 2026.Summary Transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana offers a powerful and versatile platform for rapid production of complex specialized metabolites. Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) and steroidal saponins produced by members of the Solanaceae family are known for their diverse structures and activities including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral ...

Structural diversity and evolution of the N-terminal isoform-specific region of ecdysone receptor-A and -B1 isoforms in insects [PDF]
, 2010 Background The ecdysone receptor (EcR) regulates various cellular responses to ecdysteroids during insect development. Insects have multiple EcR isoforms with different N-terminal A/B domains that contain the isoform-specific activation function (AF)-1 ...

Metabolism of Epoxidised Withanolides by a Generalist and a Specialist Insect Species
ChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2025.Larvae of Heliothis (Chloridea) virescence and subflexa have the ability to convert the epoxidized terpenoid 4β‐hydroxywithanolide E (4BHWE) to withanolide S. The conversion is found by feeding the larvae an artificial diet supplemented with 13C‐labeled 4BHWE.

Roles of mechanistic target of rapamycin and transforming growth factor-B signaling in the molting gland (Y-organ) of the blackback land crab, Gecarcinus lateralis [PDF]
, 2016 Molting in decapod crustaceans is controlled by molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), an eyestalk neuropeptide that suppresses production of ecdysteroids by a pair of molting glands (Y-organs or YOs). Eyestalk ablation (ESA) activates the YOs, which hypertrophy

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 8163-8178, December 2025.A vacuolar type ATPase subunit B (vATPase‐B) gene is identified and expressed in the midgut of Bemisia tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis. The double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) specific to vATPase‐B was expressed in hot peppers by virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and killed both whitefly and thrips.
