Forage Plant Host and Early Feeding Choices Affect Spodoptera litura Feeding, Development and Egg‐Laying

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

Characterisation of a phylogenetically distinct PL25 family ulvan lyase from a seaweed biomass enriched metagenome

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ulvan is a polysaccharide available from green seaweed with beneficial properties for various applications. The full potential of ulvan requires enzymatic degradation of the polymer, thus producing ulvan oligosaccharides. This study expands the armoury of characterised ulvan lyases.

Discovery of a cryptic aminoacidic triad involved in the temperature adaptation of GH1 enzymes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cold‐active enzymes retain high catalytic activity at low temperatures but are characterized by thermal instability, a behavior not fully understood. Comparison between a cold‐active GH1 and its mesophilic counterparts highlights the role of a three‐residue motif (W‐M‐F) in conferring structural stability to a mesophilic GH1.

The GmGT‐2F, a trihelix transcription factor, regulates seed oil content by directly activating GmAGAL transcription in soybean

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In soybean, the trihelix transcription factor GmGT‐2F positively regulates the expression of the α‐galactosidase gene GmAGAL, thereby modulating seed oil content. The cyclophilin GmCYP2 interacts with GmGT‐2F and suppresses GmAGAL activation. Haplotype diversity analysis of GmGT‐2F, GmCYP2, and GmAGAL identified favorable haplotype combinations ...

Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.
