Non-Target Effects of Transgenic Blight-Resistant American Chestnut (Fagales: Fagaceae) on Insect Herbivores [PDF]

Environmental Entomology, 2011
American chestnut [Castanea dentata (Marshall) Borkhausen], a canopy dominant species across wide swaths of eastern North America, was reduced to an understory shrub after introduction of the blight fungus [Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr] in the early 1900s.

Pseudogenization of the rhizobium-responsive EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE RECEPTOR in Parasponia is a rare event in nodulating plants

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Nodule symbiosis with diazotrophic Frankia or rhizobium occurs in plant species belonging to ten taxonomic lineages within the related orders Fabales, Fagales, Cucurbitales, and Rosales.

High‐Quality Genome Assembly and Annotation of Ceratonia siliqua Provide Insights Into the Secondary Loss of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.), an evergreen legume native to West Asia and long cultivated throughout the Mediterranean basin, is valued for its drought tolerance, nutritious pods, and ecological value. Despite its economic and environmental importance, genomic resources for this species have been limited.

Intermittent pollen-tube growth in Fagales, especially in alders(Alms sieboldiana)

PLANT MORPHOLOGY, 2005
Summary: In Fagales, the ovary is still immature when pollen is delivered to the stigma and the fertilization occurs more than one month after pollination. Developmental study of the pollen-tube growth in the pistil of three species(Casuarina equisetifolia, Alnus sieboldiana and Myrica rubra)in Fagales showed that the pollen tube grows intermittently ...

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

Stable isotope analysis of ectoparasites as a tool for understanding trophic interactions with mammalian hosts

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 664-674, December 2025.
Ectoparasites showed significant δ15N enrichment compared to their hosts, indicating trophic enrichment, but δ13C preservation varied. Lice, fleas and ticks preserve their hosts' isotopic fingerprints to varying degrees, with lice reflecting host dietary patterns most closely, likely due to their exclusive, host‐specific feeding behaviour. The presence

Dual Isotope Analysis Reveals Phylogenetic Patterns and Novel Insights Into Methoxy Group Synthesis of Structural Biomolecules in Leaf and Woody Plant Tissues

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8483-8501, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Stable carbon and hydrogen isotopes of wood methoxy groups (δ2Hmeth, δ13Cmeth), mainly sourced by structural biomolecules like lignin and pectin, provide important insights into climatic, hydrological and physiological conditions. This study systematically investigated species‐specific δ2Hmeth and δ13Cmeth variations in leaves and woody twigs ...

Deploying Genome Editing Tools for Dissecting the Biology of Nut Trees

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2019
Walnuts are among the most important nut crops grown in temperate regions of the world. Commercial production in California, and increasingly worldwide, relies on only few clonally grafted scion genotypes, particularly “Chandler,” and more recently ...

Chromosome-level genome assembly of a destructive leaf-mining moth Eriocrania semipurpurella alpina

Scientific Data
Eriocraniidae (Lepidoptera) are widespread leaf miners and have unique adaptability to hypoxia and low temperatures, causing covert but devastating harm to Fagales (Betulaceae and Fagaceae) plants in the Holarctic.

Spatial phylogenetics of Fagales: Investigating drivers of temperate forest distributions

Journal of Biogeography
AbstractAimQuantifying the phylogenetic diversity of temperate trees is essential for understanding the processes that have shaped the modern distribution of temperate broadleaf forest and other major forest biomes. Here, we focus on Fagales, an iconic member of forests worldwide, to uncover global diversity and endemism patterns and investigate the ...
