Flood Stress as a Technique to Assess Preventive Insecticide and Fungicide Treatments for Protecting Trees against Ambrosia Beetles

Insects, 2016
Ambrosia beetles tunnel into the heartwood of trees where they cultivate and feed upon a symbiotic fungus. We assessed the effectiveness of flood stress for making Cercis canadensis L. and Cornus florida L.

Tailored Organogel Systems for Optimized Pesticide Delivery: Mechanistic Insights and Agricultural Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Utilizing molecular engineering for network design, three pesticide‐loaded organogels (PLOs) carriers exhibiting varying degrees of flexibility were prepared. The mechanical properties of these carriers, tunable via their network molecular structures, enhance their structural adaptability and retention stability at biological interfaces, thereby ...

Plant growth promotion and biological control of root-knot nematodes by Purpureocillium lilacinum isolated from a weed

Discover Plants
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are significant agricultural pests, causing severe losses in many crops. Chemical nematicides remain the primary control method, but their environmental impact and costs call for alternative management strategies ...

Ant fungus farmers nutritionally manage symbionts

, 2018
1. When parasites exploit mutualisms involving food exchange, they can destabilise the partnership with costs to interacting partners. For instance, the ant Sericomyrmex amabilis farms fungal symbionts to produce food, but, in so doing, attracts parasitic Megalomyrmex symmetochus guest ants that infiltrate fungus‐farming ant societies and live with ...

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.

ERAD Component MoHrd3 Facilitates Pathogenicity and Establishes a Direct Regulation on Autophagy in Magnaporthe Oryzae

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MoHrd3 plays a crucial role in regulating the pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae. As an ER‐associated degradation component, MoHrd3 involves in ER stress‐triggered autophagy. It facilitates the fusion between the autophagosome and the vacuole via enhancing the interaction between MoAtg8 and MoYpt7.

Multi‐Targeting Non‐Specific Genome Engineering in Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide the first case to use the multi‐targeting integrase (MTI) systems in bacteria and develop a host‐independent generalizable approach, MNGE (Multi‐targeting Non‐specific Genome Engineering), for multi‐copy and random integration of metabolic genes or pathways in both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, which will ...

Metarhizium anisopliae Mitigates the Phytotoxicity of Lead and Nanoplastics on Rice by Modifying Physiological, Transcriptomic, Metabolomic Activities, and Soil Microbiome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metarhizium anisopliae alleviates the phytotoxic effects of polyethylene nanoplastics (NP) and lead (Pb) in rice by decreasing Pb uptake, restoring antioxidant and hormonal equilibrium, and promoting growth. Additionally, the fungus modifies the rhizosphere microbiota, enhancing both contaminant tolerance and plant growth, thereby effectively ...
