Water Deficit Does Not Compromise the Resistance to Insect Herbivores in Plants Associated With Fungal Endophytes Able to Produce Bioactive Alkaloids

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8481-8496, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants growing in nature are exposed to multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that sometimes occur sequentially. We hypothesised that drought will not compromise the resistance levels to herbivores when plants are associated with Epichloë endophytes able to produce bioactive alkaloids. Lolium perenne plants without (nil) and with Epichloë LpTG‐

Cortisol Recognition by a Conformationally Responsive DNA Aptamer

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2026.
The full‐length 85mer cortisol aptamer intrinsically populates two metastable conformational states in equilibrium. Cortisol binding redistributes the conformational ensemble by shifting the equilibrium between open and compact states while maintaining the underlying secondary structure. This ligand‐induced tertiary reorganization provides an atomistic
