Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 7558-7574, October 2026.
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.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Survey of the genome of opitutus terrae and other organisms for novel carbohydrate-active enzyme specificities [PDF]

Lignocellulose is the major component of the plant cell wall and is a sustainable source of inexpensive abundant biomass. Efficient degradation of the lignocellulosic polysaccharides, cellulose and hemicellulose, is required if the plant cell wall is to ...

Variation in the Number of Genes in the Secretomes of Isolates of Ilyonectria robusta and Ilyonectria mors-panacis Pathogenic to American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

Horticulturae
For 12 isolates of Ilyonectria mors-panacis and 4 isolates of Ilyonectria robusta, the number of genes in the secretome showed a negative correlation with growth rates in culture, especially for small secreted non-cysteine-rich and cysteine-rich proteins,

Tandem Duplication‐Driven Neofunctionalization of UDP‐Glycosyltransferases Shapes the Diversification of Triterpenoid Saponins in the Cucurbitaceae

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.
We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Siraitia grosvenorii and, through comparative genomics, uncover a conserved UGT73 tandem array driving triterpenoid saponin diversification in Cucurbitaceae. Crystalized SgUGT73AM30 further reveals the regioselectivity mechanism underlying its catalytic activity.

Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection disrupts bile acid metabolism in the wild rodent gut microbiota: adaptive shifts in microbial metabolism and community structure

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionBile acids (BAs) are central to host–microbiota interactions, yet their metabolism in wild rodents remains poorly characterized. This study aimed to explore the genomic potential of gut microorganisms in wild rodents for BA metabolism and its

Gut Microbiota Differences in Wild Asian Elephants From Pu'er, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study compared the gut microbiota of two wild Asian elephant populations in Jiangcheng (JC) and Liushun (LS), Yunnan, China. Significant differences in microbial structure, diversity, and function were found. Across samples, 24 phyla, 48 classes, 98 orders, 164 families, 288 genera, and 351 species were annotated.

Thermostable glycoside hydrolases in Biorefining

, 2014
Glycoside hydrolases, which are responsible for the degradation of the major fraction of biomass, the polymeric carbohydrates in starch and lignocellulose, are predicted to gain increasing roles as catalysts in biorefining applications in the future bioeconomy.

Enzymatic synthesis of glycosides: from natural O- and N-glycosides to rare C- and S-glycosides

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2017
Carbohydrate related enzymes, like glycosyltransferases and glycoside hydrolases, are nowadays more easily accessible and are thought to represent powerful and greener alternatives to conventional chemical glycosylation procedures. The knowledge of their

Evolution of the α‐Glucosidase Gene Family in Apoidea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study traces the origin of the α‐glucosidase gene family in bees back to approximately 140 million years ago, revealing that its evolutionary history closely aligns with the rise of angiosperms and coevolution. Furthermore, by identifying the core members Hbg1–3 and 28 key functional sites driven by positive selection, the study systematically ...
