Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.

Stem microanatomical phenomic uncovers a potential role for ZmLSM2 in regulating maize stem bending strength

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Maize ZmLSM2 (U6 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein specific Sm‐like 2) controls maize stem strength by affecting vascular bundle structure. Using advanced computed tomography imaging and artificial intelligence identified key stem traits linked to lodging resistance and developed a predictive model.

AlkaPlorer: A database‐driven explorer for natural alkaloids and derivatives

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The alkaloid database AlkaPlorer integrates over 130,000 compounds across 12,250 species. By linking chemical structures with biological and evolutionary data, it reveals how these molecules evolve and function. This platform serves as a vital resource for AI‐driven discovery in plant metabolism and modern drug development. ABSTRACT Alkaloids, renowned

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Whole genome sequencing of historical specimens from the world's largest fungal collection yields high‐quality assemblies

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary High‐throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehensive methodological assessments. Here we present a whole genome sequencing (WGS) project conducted at the Fungarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens ...
