Disruption of Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Alters Aphid Resistance and Volatile Emissions in Sorghum
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Jasmonic acid (JA)‐deficient msd3 sorghum mutants exhibit contrasting resistance phenotypes against sugarcane aphids (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari), which promotes aphid settling at early time points while providing antibiosis‐mediated resistance at later stages. Here we investigated the physiological, hormonal, and metabolic mechanisms underlying

Rhizobacterial Modulation of Maize Defense Alters Herbivore Performance and Parasitoid Behavior
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The association between plants and beneficial soil microorganisms can profoundly influence aboveground trophic interactions, yet these effects are often context‐dependent. Although plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are increasingly used in maize production, little is known about how these microorganisms affect maize defenses against ...

We Are Dying to Eat You: Cannibalism and Disease Transmission Under Global Climate Change
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), a devastating agricultural pest that can be infected by a lethal virus, readily cannibalize conspecifics. The armyworm in the photo has just consumed a smaller conspecific—note the head capsule of the victim in its mandibles. Cannibalistic consumption can impact disease transmission.

Soil‐derived, gut‐dominant generalist bacteria shape the fitness of folivorous larvae
iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.Whether Lepidoptera harbor a conserved core gut microbiome has long remained contentious. Through large‐scale microbiome profiling of folivorous larvae, their host plants, and associated soils across three climatically distinct regions of China, we identify two soil‐derived generalist bacteria, Ralstonia insidiosa and Delftia sp., that colonize 97.92 ...
