A Testis‐Specific Aralkylamine N‐Acetyltransferase Regulates Dimorphic Sperm Function and Male Fertility in Moths

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We identify a Lepidoptera‐conserved testis‐specific arylalkylamine N‐acetyltransferase (LTNAT) that governs male moth fertility via a novel mechanism. LTNAT loss disrupts eupyrene sperm mitochondrial derivatives and impairs apyrene sperm motility, offering a safe molecular target for innovative pesticides and genetic pest control.

Maternal Preconception Antibiotic Exposure Disrupts Microbial Succession: A Transgenerational Risk for Offspring Gut Mucosal Immaturity and Colitis Susceptibility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that maternal antibiotic exposure prior to conception disrupts intergenerational gut microbial succession. By enhancing maternal‐offspring microbial transmission, altering microbial developmental trajectories and increasing selective pressures during community assembly, these disturbances lead to persistent gut mucosal immaturity and

Effect of genotypes, cytokinins and auxins for optimal growth during in vitro propagation of Bambusa balcooa Roxb.

Discover Plants
In India, presently, there is a gap between the demand and supply of quality planting material of bamboos. Bambusa balcooa is one of the economically important species in high demand for large scale planting in commercial plantations.

Modelling forest management within a global vegetation model (ORCHIDEE) [PDF]

, 2008
Forests have an essential carbon function, removing each year about 20% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Models have been designed to quantify the distribution of CO2 fluxes and ecosystem carbon dynamics at the global scale, but these global ...

Fields, trees, and forests

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2006
A large class of combinatorial objects related to trees and forests can be represented by non- Gaussian Grassmann integrals, generalizing the Kirchhoff matrix-tree theorem. In particular, unrooted spanning forests with weight a per tree, which also arise as particular Q → 0 limits of the Potts model, can be represented by a Grassmann theory involving a

Coupled Above‐ and Belowground Ecosystem Stability Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Are the worlds above and below our feet in sync? This global exploration reveals an entangled fate between above‐ and belowground ecosystem stability. It identifies arid regions as hotspots for this coupling and highlights temperature stability as a vital safeguard for maintaining ecosystem balance across our warming planet.

Genetic parameter changes and age−age correlations in Pinus koraiensis growth over 40-year progeny testing

BMC Plant Biology
Background Early selection in tree breeding could be achieved by addressing the longevity of tree improvement activities. Genetic parameter changes and age–age correlations are essential for determining the optimal timing of early selection.

Terpene Synthase Genes in Quercus robur – Gene Characterization, Expression and Resulting Terpenes Due to Cockchafer Feeding

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Root herbivory caused by larvae of the forest cockchafer (Melolontha hippocastani) enhances the impact of drought on trees, particularly in oak forest rejuvenations.

Multicohort Validation of Gut Microbiome Signatures for Cholangiocarcinoma Diagnosis and Functional Characterization of Bifidobacterium Pseudocatenulatum

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study analyzes gut bacteria in cholangiocarcinoma patients, revealing distinct microbial signatures that enable accurate disease detection. Species‐based diagnostic models achieved over 98% accuracy in identifying cholangiocarcinoma and distinguished it from other liver diseases. The research demonstrates that specific beneficial bacteria suppress
