Performance of augmentorium as a sanitation technique against fruit flies (Diptera: tephritidae) in Reunion Island [PDF]
, 2010 Background. Tephritid fruit flies cause severe damage to fruit and vegetable crops in Reunion Island. Instead of the curative approach to reduce existing populations, the first step proposed for their management is sanitation.

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.The insect‐microbe interplay fulfills a key ecological role involving the degradation of ligninocellulose biomass. This is coordinated by the secretion of different kinds of proteins, of which ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccases (Lacs), are of prime importance.

Study of the susceptibility of Sechium edule do fruit flies (Diptera:Tephritidae) in laboratory conditions [PDF]
, 2010 Background. #Sechium edule# (chayote) is a cucurbit largely cultivated under arbour in Reunion Island but its production strongly declined in recent years. Farmers attributed the yield losses to fruit flies (Tephritidae, Dacini) (#Bactrocera cucurbitae#,

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Researchers have identified a citrus chimera with distinctive tissue origins and carotenoid profiles. It is discovered that fruit tissues develop from all three cell layers but in different proportions. A key transcription factor, MYB107, regulates β‐cryptoxanthin production by directly activating carotenoid biosynthesis genes, explaining why some ...

Oviposition by mutualistic seed-consuming pollinators reduces fruit abortion in a recently iscovered pollination mutualism [PDF]
, 2016 A prerequisite for the evolutionary stability of pollinating seed-consuming mutualisms is that each partner benefits from the association. However, few studies of such mutualism have considered the benefit gained by the pollinators.

The Evolution of Functional Amyloids and Their Impact on Host–Microbe Interactions
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review describes functional amyloids and highlights the importance of structural repetition and molecular mimicry that distinguish the amyloid fold. The authors describe how amyloid can be the last universal common ancestor of protein folds. The authors also discuss how microbes utilize functional amyloids and how the structural characteristics of
