ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

ABSTRACT Soil salinisation severely constrains crop production. Legumes rely on rhizobial symbiosis for sustainable nitrogen acquisition. Although salinity is known to impair nodulation and nitrogen fixation, how symbiosis influences plant tolerance to salt stress remains unclear.

Ascorbate peroxidase modulation confirms key role in Leishmania infantum oxidative defence
Background Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) has emerged as a promising target for chemotherapy because of its absence in humans and crucial role in the antioxidant defence of trypanosomatids.

Expansions and contractions in gene families of independently-evolved blood-feeding insects
Background The blood-feeding behavior evolved multiple times in Insecta lineages and it represents an excellent opportunity to study patterns of convergent molecular evolution regarding this habit. In insects the expansion of some gene families is linked

ABSTRACT Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by certain fungi have previously been suggested to modulate plant development and their response to stresses. While some fungal species, such as Trichoderma harzianum, are known to produce VOCs, the production of VOCs in other phylogenetically divergent species, such as Mucor mucedo, was previously ...
