We studied the response of Battus polydamas (Papilionidae) larvae fed on Aristolochia ringens (containing several diterpenes) and Aristolochia gigantea (containing sesquiterpenes and acyclic monoterpenoids but no diterpenoids or aristolochic acids). We assessed larval performance on fitness components such as survival and differential gene expression ...

N‐Glycosylation—The Behind‐the‐Scenes ‘Manipulative Hand’ of Plant Pathogen Invasiveness
The potential pathogenic mechanisms related to growth and development, infection structures, and the secretion of effector proteins influenced by N‐glycosylation modifications are described in detail. ABSTRACT Plant pathogens infect hosts through sophisticated molecular strategies, with N‐glycosylation serving as a critical post‐translational ...

The genetic basis of replicated bullseye pattern reduction across the Hibiscus trionum complex
Summary Colorful petal patterns fulfill important functions and constitute excellent systems to illuminate the evolutionary processes that generate morphological diversity or instead support the repetitive emergence of similar forms. Here, we combined phylogenomic approaches, genetic manipulations, molecular techniques, and bee behavioral experiments ...

Soluble carbohydrate fiber production for food ingredient applications [PDF]
Soluble carbohydrate polymers that are not significantly hydrolyzed by the endogenous enzymes in the upper gastrointestinal tract, and additionally are not significantly fermented by the microbiota present in the lower gastrointestinal tract, are often ...

Metabolism of sulphonated anthraquinones in rhubarb, maize and celery: the role of cytochromes P450 and peroxidases [PDF]
Sulphonated anthraquinones are precursors of many synthetic dyes and pigments, recalcitrant to biodegradation, and thus contaminating many industrial effluents and rivers.

Modulation of lignin and anthocyanin homeostasis by GTP cyclohydrolase1 in maize
Summary Maize is a key biomass resource with wide agricultural applications. Anthocyanins, potent antioxidants, offer health benefits like reducing oxidative stress. The biosynthesis of anthocyanins competes with that of lignin for shared metabolic precursors, which can lead to trade‐offs in plant growth and feed quality.
